Nitk review

Dislikes

Fees is also very high. They take fees of one semester as 6 month but semester is completed in 3-4 months . And they not refund the left money.

Total fees of master degree in technology for two years is 366000 including hostel and mess fees . You have to pay around 110000 at the time of admission and remaining is sem wise you have to pay. Education loan is provided if someone want it , by sbi bank and canara bank at very low interest. In nitk fees is less compared to other nits

REVIEW OF NITK MTech ECE Department

So you will get 12400 per month if you are taking the admission through CCMT and I think cource fee structure is quite mediam. It may be varry nearly 5% percentage every year . Hear you can get education lone if you don't want take money from your parents . so It has affordable fee structure.

Honest NITK MTech life.

Course curriculum is not that much updated only 2 3 subjects are relevant others simply waste of time

Actually fees is too high. In first semester I paid around 1,10,000 for college and hostel and this is too much. Around 3.6lac fees I have to pay in 2yr course. I am getting scholarship from gate 12400 per month. To get scholarship everyday we have to give biometric and maximum 30 leave we can take in a year. In my campus 2 banks are there and we can get easily loan

east or west NITK is best

All the fees are very affordable, it gets increased by 5% every year which is a very small change. Mtech students gets a monthly stipend of 12400 who are GATE qualified. For the students in need the hostel and mess charges are also reduced by the hostel office on applying with proper documentation.

Review of POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS in NITK

Tution fee is just 35000 per semester. But the difference comes with the miscellaneous expenses like library fee, one time fee, convocation fee etc. You'll get financial aid of 12400 pm from Government of India.
