Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur

What is the fee structure at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur?

The total programme fee at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur (IIEST Shibpur) ranges from roughly ₹150,000 for a PhD to ₹814,000 for the 5-year B.Arch in 2026, with the flagship 4-year B.Tech costing ₹646,000 for the full course. As a government-funded Institute of National Importance in Howrah, West Bengal, IIEST Shibpur charges far below private engineering colleges, and most postgraduate science and engineering programmes (M.Tech and M.Sc) sit at ₹212,000 for two years. The two-year MBA is the costliest PG option at ₹418,000, while admission to every programme is tied to a national entrance score (JEE Main for B.Tech and B.Arch, GATE for M.Tech and PhD, IIT JAM for M.Sc, and CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT/GMAT for MBA).

The figures below are the institute (tuition plus academic) fees revised by the IIEST Shibpur Board of Governors in an order dated 24 June 2025; hostel and mess charges are billed separately and are detailed further down. For SC, ST and low-income applicants the effective outgo is substantially lower because of full and partial tuition waivers explained in the scholarships section.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below sets out the full-course fee for every major programme offered at IIEST Shibpur in 2026, alongside its duration and an indicative split between tuition and other charges. It answers the most common aspirant question - "how much will my entire degree cost?" - rather than just the first-semester payment. Read each row as the total payable across the whole programme for a general-category student before any waiver; "Other Charges" bundles academic, examination, registration and one-time admission and refundable caution-money components that are spread across the course. Hostel and mess fees are not included here and are listed separately.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that the 4-year B.Tech at ₹646,000 works out to about ₹1,61,500 per year, which is modest for an Institute of National Importance and a fraction of comparable private college fees. B.Arch is the highest-cost programme purely because it runs for five years, not because its annual rate is higher. M.Tech and M.Sc are the most economical postgraduate routes at ₹212,000 each, and the Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) fee is not separately published, so candidates should confirm the consolidated five-year figure with the IIEST Shibpur admissions office.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

IIEST Shibpur revised its institute fee structure for UG, PG and PhD programmes through a Board of Governors order dated 24 June 2025, which is the basis of the 2025-2026 and 2026 figures shown on this page. The table below tracks how the headline B.Tech total fee has moved across recent admission cycles so applicants can judge whether to budget for a further hike. Read the "Total B.Tech Fee" column as the full four-year payable for a general-category student; small year-on-year movement mainly reflects revisions to academic and examination charges rather than the core tuition rate.

The trend shows that IIEST Shibpur kept its B.Tech fee essentially stable into 2026 after the June 2025 revision, so applicants for the 2026 cycle should budget around ₹646,000 for the full course. Because the institute revises fees through periodic BoG orders rather than every year, a future increase is possible but has not been notified for 2026; candidates should always confirm the latest figure on the official iiests.ac.in fee notification before paying.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology Shibpur

IIEST Shibpur sharply reduces the effective fee for reserved-category and economically weaker students through institute-level tuition remissions. SC, ST and PwD students receive a full (100%) tuition fee waiver by default, with no family-income certificate required for the reserved-category waiver. This means an SC or ST B.Tech student pays only the non-tuition academic charges plus hostel and mess dues, bringing the four-year cost down dramatically from the ₹646,000 general-category figure.

For students from the general and other categories, IIEST Shibpur operates an income-linked tuition remission scheme. Families with annual income below ₹1 lakh qualify for a 100% tuition fee remission, while those with family income between ₹1 lakh and ₹5 lakh per annum receive a two-thirds (2/3) tuition fee remission, irrespective of category. In addition, the alumni body (GAABESU / Global Alumni Association of Bengal Engineering and Science University) funds merit scholarships for branch toppers based on CGPA, and students remain eligible for external schemes such as central and West Bengal government post-matric scholarships and national merit-cum-means support. Applicants should submit valid income and category certificates at admission to claim these waivers.
