Shiv Nadar University

What is the fee structure at Shiv Nadar University?

The fee structure at Shiv Nadar University, Greater Noida ranges from about Rs 3.20 lakh in tuition for a two-year postgraduate programme to roughly Rs 24.63 lakh for the four-year B.Des, with the flagship B.Tech costing approximately Rs 22,00,000 for the full programme in 2026. The university releases a fresh fee schedule every academic year; the 2026-27 structure was published on 31 March 2026. As a private, fully residential university, Shiv Nadar University quotes a tuition component plus a separate, mandatory hostel and living-charges component, so the all-in cost is meaningfully higher than tuition alone.

For 2026, the annual B.Tech tuition is fixed at Rs 6,00,000, and once mandatory living charges of about Rs 2,43,500 per year (twin-sharing AC room) are added, the per-year outflow reaches roughly Rs 8,43,500. Postgraduate science and humanities masters degrees (M.Tech, M.Sc, MA) are the most affordable at Rs 3,20,000 tuition, while management and design programmes sit at the top of the range. The sections below break down each programme, the year-on-year hikes, and the scholarships that can sharply cut the effective fee at Shiv Nadar University.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below lists the 2026 course-wise fee structure at Shiv Nadar University for its most-applied programmes. It answers the core question an aspirant has: how much does each degree cost in total, and how does tuition compare with the other mandatory charges. Read the "Tuition Fee" column as the total academic fee for the full programme duration, "Other Charges" as the indicative hostel, mess and living component over the course, and "Total Fee" as the headline programme cost recorded in our database. Figures marked n/a are programmes for which a single confirmed total was not available at the time of writing.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that Shiv Nadar University's undergraduate professional degrees - B.Tech (Rs 22,00,000), BMS (Rs 18,63,000) and B.Des (Rs 24,63,000) - are the heaviest commitments, while two-year masters in engineering, science and humanities are the most economical at Rs 3,20,000 tuition. The MBA total of Rs 15,72,000 is locked in our database and matches the university's published 2026 schedule. Aspirants should budget for the "Other Charges" column separately, because Shiv Nadar University's residential model makes hostel and living costs mandatory rather than optional.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

Shiv Nadar University revises its fee schedule annually, so the same programme costs progressively more across 2024, 2025 and 2026. The table below tracks the headline B.Tech movement, since it is the most-applied programme and the clearest illustration of the hike pattern. It answers a question every parent asks: by how much do fees rise each year, and what should I plan for over the full four years? Read the "Approx Annual Tuition" column as the per-year B.Tech tuition and the "Notes" column for the policy driving the change.

The trend is unmistakable: the jump into the 2025-2026 cycle was steep, reported at close to 38% over the prior year for the full B.Tech programme, taking the four-year cost to about Rs 22,00,000 at Shiv Nadar University. Beyond that one-time step-up, the university applies a recurring annual hike of up to about 5% to 8% on tuition, hostel and living charges. Applicants planning a 2026 admission should therefore expect each subsequent year of study to cost a little more than the one before, and should budget for inflation-linked increases across the degree.
