Fees and Financial Aid:

The cost of education is so much reasonable, so here ROI is much higher. Here I spent Rs. 40450 as the semester fee. I also paid Rs. 10000 as part of a one-time fee. For the hostel fee, I paid Rs.26750 per semester. For scholarships, I don’t have that much information as I didn't apply for any scholarship scheme.

I paid the whole fee in a one-time payment. Also because the fee structure at IIST is not that expensive and can be affordable for students. The whole master's degree cost me around 91,000. Scholarships are provided for SC/ST/PD and needy students. A merit-based scholarship is also offered. Education loans are also available, and the admissions department is fully supportive of the loan procedure, with all documents handled by the admissions office.
