IIIT KOTTAYAM - a Honest review

Student Snaps:

Fees and Financial Aid:

Every year have fees of ?4,40,000 for all category indian students.NRI students fees is still very high. After initial payment of a semester fees you can apply for government scholarshipa in which sc/st ,pwd, economically poor candidates will get scholaeship upto 2lakh which will take upto 1year after applying.The fees should be paid as 2,20,000 for each semester.The deadlines are very strict. This fees is this high because it is not completely government college.

no placements but good to explore your interests

I feel my college is little expensive because usually all b tech insititutes has feel around 70k to 80k for semester but our college has almost 1 lakh 70 k per semester which makes it really expensive and I think this is because of awesome infrastructure they are providing. but honestly what i feel is it is too much. sem wise you need to pay fee. that is around 1 lakh 60 thousand to 1 lakh 70 k depending on which sem you are.

IIITK is a Mixed Bag

Each semester costs 1.24 lakhs and it increases every year. New admissions pay higher than what their seniors are paying for the same semester. Scholarships are available. Details can be checked on the college official website

Be genuine

Fee structure is too high in my collage and also the government of India provides scholarship for the needed people and the course fee was too high so it should be reduced. And scholarship should be provided to every one
