National Institute of Technology Hamirpur

What is the fee structure at National Institute of Technology Hamirpur?

The fee structure at National Institute of Technology Hamirpur for 2026 ranges from about Rs 1,25,900 for a two-year M.Sc to Rs 9,61,000 for the five-year B.Arch and the five-year Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) programme. The flagship four-year B.Tech costs Rs 7,69,000 for the full course, while postgraduate options such as M.Tech and M.Arch are priced at Rs 2,68,000 each and the two-year MBA at Rs 2,10,000. As a centrally funded NIT, NIT Hamirpur charges identical, government-regulated tuition for general-category students across all branches of a given programme, so your B.Tech cost does not change whether you study Computer Science, Mechanical or Civil Engineering. These totals are inclusive of tuition, institute charges and one-time admission fees, but hostel and mess charges (around Rs 40,000 per year) are billed separately. The figures below give you the exact, programme-by-programme planning numbers an aspirant needs.

NIT Hamirpur follows the standard NIT fee model set under the Ministry of Education, which means heavy concessions for reserved and economically weaker students sit on top of the headline fees listed here. Read the course-wise table next for the precise split between tuition and other charges.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below answers the single most common question asked by NIT Hamirpur applicants: how much does each programme actually cost in total for 2026? It lists every major programme NIT Hamirpur offers, the official course duration, the approximate tuition component, the non-tuition charges (admission, caution money, institute development, examination and insurance), and the total payable for general-category students. Read each row left to right: tuition plus other charges equals the total fee for the full programme, not per year. Use the total column as your headline budgeting number for the entire degree.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that NIT Hamirpur's undergraduate degrees carry the bulk of the cost: B.Tech at Rs 7,69,000 and both B.Arch and the Dual Degree at Rs 9,61,000 over five years. Postgraduate programmes are far lighter on the wallet, with M.Sc the most affordable at Rs 1,25,900 and MBA at Rs 2,10,000. For B.Tech and M.Tech aspirants who qualify GATE or hold reserved-category certificates, the effective outlay drops sharply because tuition is the largest single component and is waived for several groups, as explained further below.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

NIT Hamirpur's B.Tech fee has held broadly steady at roughly Rs 7.69 lakh for the full four-year course across the 2024, 2025 and 2026 admission cycles, with only minor revisions to the per-semester institute and other charges rather than any large hike in the core tuition. Because NIT tuition is fixed centrally by the Ministry of Education, NIT Hamirpur cannot raise it independently, which is why the headline numbers have stayed stable year on year. The table below tracks the approximate total B.Tech fee for the general category across these three intakes so you can see the trend at a glance.

The pattern tells applicants there is no sudden fee shock to budget for at NIT Hamirpur: the year-on-year movement between 2024 and 2026 is small and driven mostly by routine adjustments to hostel, examination and development charges rather than tuition. Plan around the 2026 figure of Rs 7,69,000 for B.Tech, and expect any future revision to be incremental rather than steep, given the centrally regulated structure.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at National Institute of Technology Hamirpur

NIT Hamirpur substantially reduces the effective fee through a tiered system of tuition waivers tied to category and family income. SC, ST and PwD students receive a full tuition fee waiver across all UG and PG programmes, so a B.Tech that costs Rs 7,69,000 for a general student falls to only the non-tuition charges for these candidates. For general and OBC students, NIT Hamirpur grants full remission of tuition when annual family income is below Rs 1 lakh, and two-thirds tuition remission when family income falls between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh per year, mirroring the standard NIT income-slab model.

On top of these waivers, NIT Hamirpur students access the Merit-cum-Means scholarship, which supports a share of the student body with monthly assistance and tuition relief for those with family income below Rs 2,50,000 and at least 50% marks. M.Tech and M.Arch candidates who are GATE-qualified are eligible for the MHRD/Ministry of Education stipend of around Rs 12,400 per month, which for many students effectively covers the entire two-year fee and a large part of hostel costs. PhD research scholars admitted with valid GATE or UGC NET qualifications similarly receive monthly institute fellowships. SC/ST students may also benefit from the central Top Class Education scheme, which adds full fee concession plus living and book allowances for families earning under Rs 4,50,000. Together these schemes mean the published 2026 fees are an upper bound that many NIT Hamirpur students never pay in full.
