Here the fees are actually based on two conditions, 1) Which category you are in and 2) how much is your family income. The tuition fee varies over 0-2Lakh/annum based on your 2 conditions. The hostel fee is fixed which is 0.7L/annum. Here there are innumerable scholarships available for worthy and talented students, which make their education journey money hassle-free. I got a campus scholarship and one alumni scholarship.

My Life at IITM

3.9Helpful

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions:

So, let's talk cash! Studying at IIT Madras isn't dirt cheap, but it's worth it. Fees might vary, and they have this policy where they bump it up a bit each year. But hey, don't freak out! They've got scholarships and financial aid to help out. I managed to snag the "Bright Future" scholarship and a part-time gig on campus. It pays some bills and gives you extra pocket money. So, it's doable, even if it's a bit tight sometimes. They provide no-interest educational loans to financially struggling students that the students can pau on their own time.
