National Institute of Technology (NIT) Courses & Fee Structure

NIT Kurukshetra’s 2026-27 fee page separates schedules by programme and admission category. A B.Tech applicant should use the four-year B.Tech schedule for the 2026-30 batch, then read the hostel payment instructions separately. The institute lists B.Arch and integrated B.Tech–M.Tech schedules as different documents; their duration and total costs are not interchangeable with a B.Tech estimate. The currently available schedules describe 2026-27 admissions. They do not confirm costs for the 2027-28 intake. Official fee schedule index

B.Tech programme choices

The frozen JoSAA 2026 seat matrix lists B.Tech options in Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Industrial Internet of Things, Information Technology, Mathematics and Computing, Mechanical Engineering, Production and Industrial Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Robotics and Automation, Microelectronics and VLSI Engineering, and Sustainable Energy Technologies. It also lists five-year dual-degree options and a five-year Architecture programme under separate programme names. This is a cycle-specific list: use the next seat matrix to confirm which choices remain available and whether names or seat pools change. JoSAA 2026 frozen seat matrix

The names signal differences in curriculum focus, but the title alone cannot tell an applicant how courses are sequenced or what laboratory capacity is available. NIT Kurukshetra links scheme and syllabus documents through its academic site. Compare the actual semester plan, core requirements, elective options and department facilities before choosing a new interdisciplinary branch. For example, Mathematics and Computing is a distinct four-year B.Tech option, not a renamed Computer Science programme; Industrial Internet of Things and Microelectronics & VLSI Engineering are also separately listed in the 2026 seat matrix. Check official syllabi for the cohort and confirm the final option code in JoSAA before locking choices. Institute schemes and syllabi

The seat matrix also distinguishes Haryana from Other State seats and gender-neutral from female-only seats, with category and PwD sub-allocations. Seat totals therefore cannot be read as one generic intake number. When comparing two programmes, inspect the exact row and pool that matches the candidate’s eligibility. A programme can have the same name across state pools but different individual category totals. The matrix is useful for understanding availability, not for predicting an individual allocation. The separate Cutoffs page should be used for historical opening and closing ranks, matched to the same programme, category, quota, round and gender pool. JoSAA 2026 seat matrix

B.Tech tuition and fee categories

For the 2026-30 B.Tech batch, NIT Kurukshetra’s schedule groups students by annual family income and category. General, OBC and EWS students with annual family income above ₹5 lakh are shown tuition of ₹62,500 per semester. For those with income between ₹1 lakh and ₹5 lakh, the listed semester tuition is ₹20,833. Tuition is listed as zero for General, OBC and EWS students with income below ₹1 lakh and for SC, ST and PwD students in all categories. These are tuition lines in the institute’s 2026-27 schedule; they are not a total amount payable each semester and must not be presented as the entire cost of study. 2026-27 B.Tech schedule, linked from the official fee page

The same B.Tech schedule lists other institutional charges, including one-time admission and welfare items, recurring development and examination charges, seat rent and hostel-use charges. Some amounts depend on room type; some deposits are marked refundable, while one-time fees and recurring advances may not be. The institute states the schedule is valid for the 2026 batch and notes that lab-equipment maintenance charges remain subject to approval. Applicants should check the exact table row for their income band, category, semester and accommodation choice and retain the version used at admission. Do not infer that a tuition waiver removes non-tuition charges.

The 2026-27 fee page also provides a five-year B.Arch and Planning schedule for batch 2026-31. In the greater-than-₹5-lakh General/OBC/EWS row, tuition is ₹62,500 each semester and the ten-semester tuition total is ₹6.25 lakh. The schedule separately lists an accommodation-dependent hostel usage line and a first-semester hosteller total. A five-year amount should not be compared directly with the four-year B.Tech total; compare per-semester and non-tuition charges on the same basis. The B.Arch schedule has its own income categories and programme duration. B.Arch fee schedule, 2026-31

Hostel costs and payment basis

Hostel charges sit outside the tuition figure and include both room-use and consumption-related items. NIT Kurukshetra’s 2026-27 hostel instructions list a one-time non-refundable hostel development and maintenance fund of ₹6,000, a mess advance of ₹30,000 per semester adjusted against actual monthly mess and miscellaneous bills, and an electricity advance of ₹4,500 per semester adjusted against actual use. These advances are not fixed final consumption costs. The B.Tech fee schedule separately lists hostel usage charges per semester by triple, double or single seater room. The hostel instruction states that accommodation is allotted at physical reporting and requires the admission letter, identity documents and photographs. Room preference does not guarantee a particular room allocation. Hostel charges and payment instructions, 2026-27

To estimate a household budget, add only like-for-like periods: the applicable semester fee schedule, the relevant room-use charge, and hostel advances for the same semester. Keep refundable deposits distinct from non-refundable charges and do not multiply a first-semester bill by eight without checking which one-time charges recur. Mess and electricity bills are reconciled to actual use, so the advance is a cash-flow requirement rather than a guaranteed total. Students who will not live in the hostel should not include hostel charges; day-scholar rows and instructions should be checked separately where supplied.

What to verify before accepting a seat

The institute publishes distinct schedules for four-year B.Tech, five-year B.Arch and integrated B.Tech–M.Tech, and also separates domestic and international admission categories. Use the schedule matching the exact programme and batch rather than a third-party “first-year fee” that may combine tuition, deposits, room costs or meal advances. Confirm whether the cited amount is per semester, per year, one-time or a full-programme total. Verify income documents and category certificates with the institute because an incorrect or incomplete document can affect tuition remission. Check the hostel payment notice separately if accommodation is required.

NIT Kurukshetra’s fee index has a 2026-27 admission section and archived schedules for previous cohorts. A historical total is useful only for that batch; it does not establish the next batch’s fee. No 2027-28 schedule was present among the official materials reviewed on 1 November 2026. Recheck the institute’s fee page and the admission reporting notice when the next cycle is published, and save the exact documents used to calculate your own payable amount. Questions about the current schedule can be directed to the institute’s Academic or hostel office using the contact details on the official pages. Fee schedule index
