Manipal University Jaipur

Fee Structure at Manipal University Jaipur

Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) is a private, self-financed university in Rajasthan, so its fees are higher than government institutions but broadly in line with peer private universities such as VIT, SRM and LPU. The total cost of studying at MUJ has three main components: the program tuition fee, hostel and accommodation charges, and one-time or recurring miscellaneous charges (caution deposit, registration, examination and similar fees). Below is a detailed, program-wise breakdown to help you plan your budget accurately. All figures are quoted in Indian Rupees and reflect the 2025-2026 academic session; fees are revised annually and remain subject to approval of the university's Fee Fixation Committee.

Program-wise Tuition Fees

The table below lists the total program tuition fees for the major degrees offered at Manipal University Jaipur, along with course duration. These are the headline tuition figures and do not include hostel, mess or other recurring charges, which are detailed in later sections.

Note that B.Tech fees vary by specialization. The figure of ₹13,74,000 above is the indicative program fee in our records, but high-demand branches such as Computer Science and Engineering carry higher tuition. For the 2025-2026 cohort, B.Tech tuition across branches ranges roughly from ₹12.36 Lakhs to ₹18.04 Lakhs for the full four years, with CSE positioned at the top of that band. Students should confirm the exact branch-specific fee at the time of counselling.

Programs with Variable or On-request Fees

Several programs at MUJ have fees that are set at the time of admission or vary by intake and specialization. For these courses, prospective students should obtain a written fee quotation from the admissions office. The table below summarises these programs along with their duration and core eligibility, so you know what to ask about.

Hostel and Accommodation Charges

Hostel charges are separate from tuition and are billed annually. Manipal University Jaipur offers on-campus residential accommodation in double-occupancy and triple-then-double occupancy formats. For the 2025-2026 session, the annual hostel fee (residential dwelling plus housekeeping) is structured as shown below. A refundable security deposit of ₹24,250 applies to both room types.

Including the refundable security deposit of ₹24,250, the first-year outgo for hostel comes to approximately ₹1,98,300 for double occupancy and ₹1,81,470 for the triple-then-double option. Optional services are charged on top of these: access to the campus Health Club (gym) costs ₹12,150 per year, and a laundry package of 30 cycles costs ₹8,390. If a refund becomes due before the academic year commences, an administrative processing fee of ₹5,000 is deducted; once the academic year begins, hostel fees are strictly non-refundable.

Mess Charges

Mess (dining) charges are billed separately from the hostel residential fee and must be paid annually in advance. For 2025-2026, the full-year mess fee is ₹75,920. Final-year students who are away for projects or internships for part of the year pay a reduced mess fee of ₹37,960. Students who extend their stay beyond five months are charged additional mess fees on a monthly basis. Adding the mess fee to accommodation, a residential student should budget roughly ₹2.5 Lakhs in the first year for hostel, mess and security deposit combined.

Indicative Total Cost: B.Tech Example

To illustrate the all-in cost for a residential student, consider the four-year B.Tech program. The table below combines tuition, hostel and mess over the full duration (using double-occupancy accommodation and the standard program tuition; the security deposit is refundable and shown for first year only).

For high-demand branches such as Computer Science and Engineering, where four-year tuition can reach about ₹18 Lakhs, the all-in residential cost over four years can climb to the ₹26-28 Lakh range. Students opting to live off-campus or as day scholars will save the hostel and mess components but should budget separately for private accommodation and transport.

How MUJ Fees Compare with Peer Universities

For B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, the most popular branch, Manipal University Jaipur sits at the higher end among large private universities, though the gap narrows once category-based pricing at peer institutions is taken into account. The comparison below uses approximate four-year tuition (excluding hostel) for the 2025-2026 cycle.

VIT and SRM use a category or rank-based fee model, so a top-rank student can pay considerably less than the maximum, whereas MUJ tuition is more uniform across admitted students. Once hostel and mess are added, the total cost of attendance at all three universities lands in a comparable ₹20-28 Lakh band for a four-year residential CSE program. For commerce and management programs such as BBA (₹8,66,000) and BCA (₹5,41,000), MUJ remains competitive with similarly positioned private universities.

Scholarships and Fee Waivers

Manipal University Jaipur offers merit-based financial support that can meaningfully reduce the tuition burden. Under the Dr. TMA Pai merit scholarships, the topper in an engineering stream can receive a 100% tuition fee waiver, the second-ranked student a 50% waiver, and the third a 25% waiver. These merit-cum-means scholarships are typically restricted to candidates within the top 5,000 ranks of the Manipal Entrance Test (MET), with two scholarships awarded per engineering stream. To retain the scholarship across years, students must maintain a CGPA of 8.5 with no backlogs. The university advertises a maximum tuition waiver of up to 100% for its most talented entrants. Students should consult the Directorate of Student Welfare for the latest year-specific scholarship criteria and application timelines.

Payment, Deposits and Important Notes

Tuition is generally payable on an annual or semester basis and can be paid by demand draft drawn in favour of "Manipal University Jaipur" payable at Jaipur, in addition to standard online payment channels. Beyond tuition, the total fee package may include a one-time registration fee, a caution/security deposit, and annual examination fees; for B.Tech CSE, for instance, the first-year package includes a caution fee of around ₹15,000 and other fees of about ₹10,000 over and above tuition. The caution and hostel security deposits are refundable subject to the university's refund policy. Because all figures are revised each academic year and require Fee Fixation Committee approval, students are advised to verify the exact, current fee for their chosen program and accommodation directly with the MUJ admissions office before paying.
