Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham

What is the fee structure at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham?

The total programme fees at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore range from about ₹2,00,000 for a 1-year LLM to ₹12,00,000 for the flagship 4-year B.Tech in 2026, with most professional degrees sitting between ₹3,60,000 and ₹9,00,000. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is a NAAC A++ accredited deemed-to-be university founded in 1994 at Ettimadai, Coimbatore, and granted deemed status by the UGC in 2003. Its fees are tuition-only figures; a one-time caution deposit of ₹10,000 and separate hostel charges apply on top. Crucially, Amrita earmarks more than 70% of B.Tech seats under its scholarship slabs, so the headline fee is what very few students actually pay in full. For 2026, the most expensive route is B.Tech (₹12,00,000 over four years), while postgraduate law (LLM, ₹2,00,000) and M.Com (₹2,00,000) are among the most affordable.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below lists the total programme tuition fee for every major course offered at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore for the 2026 intake. It answers the single most common applicant question: "What will my course actually cost me at Amrita?" Read it by matching your target programme to its duration and total tuition fee; the "Other Charges" column flags the one-time caution deposit of ₹10,000 plus hostel and mess fees that are billed separately from tuition. All tuition figures are the verified full-programme amounts before any scholarship is applied.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that engineering and management are the costliest tracks at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, with B.Tech (₹12,00,000) and MBA (₹9,00,000) leading, while arts and commerce postgraduate degrees such as MA (₹1,80,000) and M.Com (₹2,00,000) are the lightest on the wallet. The five-year integrated and dual-degree programmes (Integrated M.Sc and the two LLB streams) cost ₹6,00,000 to ₹8,00,000 but spread that across five years. Remember that these are list tuition figures: with Amrita reserving over 70% of B.Tech seats under scholarship slabs, a strong AEEE or JEE Main rank can cut the effective B.Tech outlay dramatically.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

This section answers whether Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has raised its fees recently, using the official B.Tech fee structure as the benchmark programme. Amrita publishes a fresh annual B.Tech fee schedule each admission cycle, and the slab-based structure for the 2025-26 session was revised upward from 2024-25, consistent with the modest year-on-year increases typical of the deemed university. The table below summarises the indicative B.Tech annual fee bands across recent cycles so applicants can see the direction of travel before committing.

The pattern at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is one of steady, incremental annual revision rather than sharp jumps: the slab bands and the ₹10,000 caution deposit have held broadly stable from 2024 to 2026. For applicants this means the headline B.Tech cost of ₹12,00,000 for 2026 is a reliable planning figure, but your real fee depends on which scholarship slab your combined entrance and board rank places you in. Always confirm the latest annual PDF on the official Amrita admissions portal before paying, as the university issues a new schedule each cycle.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers some of the most generous merit scholarships among Indian deemed universities, with more than 70% of B.Tech seats earmarked under its scholarship categories. The flagship Amrita Chancellor Scholarship Scheme grants a 100% tuition fee waiver to students scoring above 80% in both the entrance exam (AEEE/JEE Main) and the Class 12 qualifying exam, effectively bringing the ₹12,00,000 B.Tech fee down to zero tuition for top performers. The Amrita Meritorious Scholarship offers up to a 50% tuition waiver for students scoring between 70% and 79% on both measures, halving the headline fee for high achievers.

The B.Tech scholarship slab itself is assigned on the combined rank of the Class 12 exam and the AEEE or JEE Main score, so a stronger rank automatically lowers the slab and the fee payable. Scholarships are not one-time: renewal in subsequent years requires maintaining a minimum CGPA (typically between 6.0 and 7.0 depending on the slab), with no arrears and no disciplinary action. This makes Amrita's effective cost of study highly performance-linked. Beyond merit aid, the university extends support to economically weaker and meritorious-but-needy students; applicants should confirm current category-specific provisions directly with the Amrita admissions office, as concession terms vary by programme and year.
