Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT) Courses & Fee Structure

Latest published amount: first-year government-quota B.E. and B.Tech.

The latest KCT amount that can be verified in a fee document linked from the college’s Admissions 2026 page is for first-year B.E. and B.Tech. students admitted through the government quota in 2026–27. The schedule lists ₹1,60,000 for General Category and ₹1,35,000 for First Graduate. It is a year-specific published amount, not a confirmed 2027–28 fee and not a full four-year course total. The document does not explain the eligibility test for the First Graduate category, so applicants should confirm their category with the counselling authority and KCT before relying on the reduced figure.

The same schedule says candidates allotted through upward movement should pay the applicable category amount after subtracting what they already paid at the TFC centre. That instruction matters if a candidate receives a revised allotment: do not pay the full listed amount a second time without checking the fee calculation against the earlier receipt. Keep the allotment order, TFC payment proof and KCT payment confirmation together.

The published table gives one amount for each of its two categories. It does not present a branch-by-branch breakdown. That is the scope of this document, not proof that every admission route, category, waiver or later academic year has identical charges. Confirm the fee displayed for the course and quota on the live KCT payment page before paying. Open the official KCT 2026–27 first-year UG fee schedule.

What the listed fee does and does not cover

KCT’s linked fee sheet is headed for first-year B.E./B.Tech. academic fees and gives an applicable amount for two student categories. It does not break the total into tuition, laboratory, examination, hostel, mess, transport or other annual charges. It also does not provide the amount due in each later year or a complete programme-total estimate. As a result, multiplying ₹1,60,000 or ₹1,35,000 by four would produce an unsupported estimate. Ask the college for the complete schedule for the exact branch, quota, category and batch, including any continuation fees and one-time charges.

For a real budget, separate the academic payment from living and travel costs. Ask whether accommodation and meals are billed separately, whether a deposit is refundable, which charges recur each year, and when each instalment falls due. Confirm whether optional transport, equipment, books or student activities carry additional charges. These are questions for the college because the linked first-year schedule does not answer them; they are not additional amounts asserted here.

Do not substitute a third-party page or an older KCT fee PDF for the linked 2026–27 schedule. Fee comparisons are useful only when the year, B.E./B.Tech. route, quota, category and included components match. A figure marked first-year or academic fee cannot be compared directly with a hostel-inclusive total or a multi-year estimate unless both documents define the same basis.

Lateral entry, MCA and MBA have separate fee routes

The KCT Admissions 2026 page separates fee links for regular UG, UG lateral entry, MCA and MBA. That separation is useful: the first-year regular B.E./B.Tech. amount above should not be transferred to direct-second-year lateral entry or to postgraduate students. Each route has its own linked payment destination, and the page asks candidates to choose the link for their programme.

When checked on 6 November 2026, the portal’s MCA, MBA and lateral-entry links led to programme-specific payment pages, but the captured pages did not expose a readable fee schedule or amount. The public fee page therefore does not support a reliable current number for those routes in this article. Check the active form after confirming your programme and admission route, or contact the KCT Admissions Customer Care Team at 9994300600 for the applicable schedule. Do not rely on a fee estimate attached to a course catalogue row or copy the regular first-year amount into a different programme.

KCT’s portal also distinguishes the post-allotment process for TNEA candidates from the payment paths shown for each programme. A candidate should first confirm the allotted course and quota, then follow the matching current link, read the payment instructions and retain the receipt for verification. If the next admission year changes any link or amount, the next-year notice takes precedence over this 2026–27 evidence. KCT Admissions 2026.

Payment checks after a TNEA allotment

For the 2026 cycle, KCT’s Admissions page addresses candidates selected through TNEA counselling and asks them to complete the college application form, pay the fee through the respective programme link, and keep the payment receipt available for verification. It also asks candidates to carry the Provisional Allotment Order and the required original documents and photocopies when they visit for admission formalities. These are instructions for the 2026 process, not an announcement of 2027 dates or payment rules. The same page gives 9994300600 as the customer-care contact for admission, payment and document-verification questions.

There is a payment-method detail to resolve before acting: the linked 2026–27 fee PDF asks for a demand draft payable at Coimbatore, while the Admissions 2026 webpage directs applicants to an online payment link. Because the two official instructions do not describe the same method, follow the currently active programme payment page and ask KCT to confirm which method applies to your allotment. Do not prepare a demand draft or transfer money based only on an older instruction. Save a screenshot or PDF of the current instructions and the final receipt.

Before submitting payment, check that the beneficiary and amount correspond to KCT, the correct programme, your quota and category, and the allotted year. For upward movement, include the amount already paid at the TFC centre in the reconciliation. If a changed allotment or category affects the amount, obtain a written calculation from the college or counselling authority rather than relying on a generic online estimate.

A practical checklist before comparing KCT costs

1. Match the fee sheet to the admission route. Confirm regular first-year B.E./B.Tech., lateral entry, MCA or MBA. These are separate fee destinations on KCT’s portal.
2. Confirm the year and quota. The verified ₹1,60,000 and ₹1,35,000 figures apply to first-year government-quota B.E./B.Tech. in the 2026–27 schedule. They should not be quoted as 2027–28 fees or applied to another quota.
3. Verify the category amount. The schedule names General Category and First Graduate. If you expect the First Graduate amount, confirm eligibility and required documents with the responsible authority before paying.
4. Reconcile prior payments. If your seat changed through upward movement, check the TFC receipt and confirm the balance under KCT’s stated deduction rule.
5. Ask for a complete cost sheet. Request the later-year academic charges, one-time amounts, hostel and mess rates, transport options, deposits and payment dates. The linked first-year document does not supply a complete course-cost calculation.
6. Use a current official payment page. The admissions page and the linked PDF differ on online versus demand-draft instructions. Verify the active method with KCT and retain the final receipt.

A fee is comparable only when the programme, year, route, category, quota and included charges match. For the next intake, wait for the official KCT schedule and check it against the fee link on the current Admissions page. The portal identifies the customer-care number as 9994300600 for questions about admission, payment and document verification.
