What is the fee structure at Delhi Technological University?

The fee structure at Delhi Technological University (DTU), New Delhi runs from roughly ₹98,000 for a 2-year M.Sc up to ₹8.44 Lakh for the 4-year B.Des, with the flagship 4-year B.Tech costing ₹7,00,000 in total tuition and university charges as per our verified records (2026). DTU is a Delhi government state university, so its engineering fees stay far below private-college levels: the B.Tech first-year outgo is about ₹2.29 Lakh (2025), while postgraduate options like the 2-year M.Tech (₹2.53 Lakh), 2-year MBA (₹4.83 Lakh) and 3-year BBA (₹5.11 Lakh) sit in the mid-range. Hostel and mess are charged separately at roughly ₹52,000-₹72,000 plus ₹34,800 mess per year (2025-2026). For an aspirant, the headline is that a complete B.Tech degree at DTU costs well under ₹10 Lakh, a strong return given the 2025 median package of ₹15 LPA reported in the NIRF 2026 data.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below lays out the full programme-wise fee structure at Delhi Technological University for the 2026 admission cycle. It answers the most common applicant question - "how much will my specific course cost in total?" - by splitting the figure into the core tuition component, the other university charges (examination, student welfare, development and facility fees), and the combined total payable across the full duration. Read each row as the cost for the entire programme, not per year, unless stated otherwise. The B.Tech total of ₹7,00,000 is the figure on our verified record; other programme totals are sourced from current education portals and are indicative until DTU publishes its annual circular.

The clear takeaway is that DTU's undergraduate engineering remains its best-value offering: at ₹7,00,000 total (2026), the B.Tech costs less than many programmes that are a year shorter, such as the ₹5.11 Lakh BBA. Postgraduate management at ₹4.83 Lakh (MBA) is priced sensibly for an NIRF-ranked university, while the PhD is heavily subsidised at ₹1.5-2 Lakh because doctoral candidates pay mostly nominal annual charges. Applicants should treat tuition-versus-other-charges splits as approximate, since DTU bundles examination, welfare and development heads into the annual demand.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

Delhi Technological University has raised its B.Tech fee only modestly year on year, so families can plan with reasonable certainty. The first-year B.Tech outgo moved from about ₹2,24,000 in 2024 to roughly ₹2,29,000 in 2025, an increase of around ₹5,000 (about 2 percent) - a small inflation-linked adjustment rather than a sharp hike. The table below tracks this first-year B.Tech trend so applicants can see how the entry cost has shifted across the last three admission cycles and budget for similar small annual rises in subsequent years of the degree.

The trend tells an applicant two useful things about DTU. First, the fee curve is gentle and predictable - successive years of B.Tech step up by only a few thousand rupees, mainly for development and inflation, so there are no surprise jumps mid-degree. Second, because DTU charges the year's fee in one go with no instalment option, families should keep roughly ₹2.3-2.5 Lakh ready each year (2025-2026) for tuition alone, before adding hostel and mess.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Delhi Technological University

Delhi Technological University offers genuine fee relief that can cut the effective B.Tech cost to almost zero for low-income students. The central mechanism is DTU's income-linked fee concession: students whose annual family income is below ₹4.5 Lakh can apply for tuition fee concessions ranging from 25 percent to 100 percent, and those with family income below roughly ₹1 Lakh can receive a full (100 percent) tuition remission (2025-2026). On top of this, the Government of NCT of Delhi Merit-cum-Means (MCM) scheme for eligible Delhi-domicile students grants a 100 percent tuition waiver for families under the National Food Security cover, 50 percent for family income up to ₹2.5 Lakh, and 25 percent for income above ₹2.5 Lakh up to ₹6.0 Lakh per annum.

For reserved categories, the support is even stronger. SC and ST students at DTU are covered by the Central/State Government Post-Matric Scholarship, which reimburses tuition fees and adds a maintenance allowance, effectively making the degree near-free for eligible candidates. DTU also channels GoI Central Sector Scheme scholarships and post-matric support for OBC and minority students, with documented benefits in the ₹7,000 to ₹86,000 per year range depending on the scheme and category. Aspirants should note these waivers cover tuition and, in many SC/ST cases, hostel and mess - so the real cost of a DTU B.Tech for a deserving student can fall dramatically below the ₹7,00,000 sticker figure.
