IIT Delhi Fees Overview 2026

IIT Delhi fees depend on your course, your family income and whether you stay in a hostel. The IIT Delhi fees structure follows the fee rules of the Government of India. The IIT Delhi fees details here are for the entry year 2026. Each fee is charged per semester unless the text says otherwise.

How much are the IIT Delhi fees for 4 years of B.Tech?

The B.Tech tuition is Rs 8,00,000 over eight semesters before any waiver. That is Rs 1,00,000 a semester. Other charges, hostel rent and mess are extra, so the IIT Delhi total fees for 4 years are higher. Families with income below Rs 5 lakh pay much less, as the B.Tech section shows.

Does the IIT Delhi fee include hostel charges?

Partly. A hosteller's first-semester bill of Rs 1,31,000 includes Rs 8,600 seat rent. The Rs 22,000 allotment charge and deposit, and the mess, are separate. IIT Delhi fees with hostel therefore add those two items. The hostel section lists each charge, so the IIT Delhi fees you pay depend on your room.

IIT Delhi Hostel and Other Fees

IIT Delhi fees for the hostel are seat rent of Rs 8,600 a semester and a mess charge of about Rs 36,000. You also pay one-time deposits. The mess charge is tentative and applies to the old hostels. IIT Delhi calculates the actual mess and electricity bill at the end of each semester.

Hostel chargeAmount
Hostel seat rent, each semester, non-refundableRs 8,600
Seat allotment charge, each fresh allotment, non-refundableRs 7,000
Security deposit, each fresh allotment, refundableRs 15,000
Mess, old hostels, each semester, tentativeRs 36,000

Every student pays the institute charges too. These IIT Delhi fees are Rs 5,750 each semester for exam, registration, gymkhana, medical, internet, transport and a student distress fund. Insurance costs Rs 500 a year. You also pay Rs 8,150 once, which is non-refundable, and Rs 8,000 in refundable deposits.

What is the hostel fee at IIT Delhi?

The IIT Delhi hostel fee in the first semester is Rs 8,600 for seat rent. You also pay the one-time Rs 7,000 and Rs 15,000. Mess is billed separately after the semester. Hostel is not compulsory, and IIT Delhi has about 7,000 seats for about 13,000 students.

What is not included in the IIT Delhi fees?

Mess and electricity bills are not part of the IIT Delhi fees, because the institute calculates them after each semester. Books, travel and the cost of living outside the hostel are also extra. The Ph.D. thesis fee is separate too.

IIT Delhi Fee Payment Structure

You pay IIT Delhi fees online each semester through the ERP or the SBI i-collect facility named in the prospectus. New entrants in July 2026 paid through an HDFC payment gateway link given in the fee circular, so use the link in your own admission email. Challan slips are allowed only in two cases. One is a bank loan for education. The other is an outside scholarship that sends cheques to the institute.

The 2026 circular set these IIT Delhi fees dates for new B.Tech students. You paid by 24 July 2026 without a late fee. The late fee was Rs 250 from 25 to 29 July 2026 and Rs 750 from 30 July to 03 August 2026. After 03 August 2026, IIT Delhi cancelled registration and the hostel seat.

Is the IIT Delhi fee paid yearly or per semester?

IIT Delhi fees are paid per semester, and tuition is charged per semester. Only insurance is a yearly payment, at Rs 500.

What if you cannot pay the IIT Delhi fees at once?

The prospectus does not describe an instalment plan for IIT Delhi fees. If your family income is below Rs 5 lakh, upload the income proof on the e-Academics portal before the emailed deadline. The institute does not extend this deadline. Without proof you pay the full tuition.

IIT Delhi Scholarship Opportunities

IIT Delhi scholarships can cover the full tuition fee, but they do not cover the other charges. The Merit-cum-Means scholarship goes to about 25% of students with family income up to Rs 8 lakh. It gives Rs 4,000 a month for General, OBC and EWS students and a tuition waiver.

SC, ST and PwD students get a tuition exemption at any income. The institute also gives a free studentship to 10% of students on means alone. This applies if more than 25% qualify for the Merit-cum-Means scholarship. Read the IIT Delhi scholarship page for the rules and the donor awards.

Can a scholarship cover the full IIT Delhi fees?

A scholarship covers the tuition of Rs 1,00,000 a semester, but not the institute charges or hostel costs. Even with a full waiver, you still pay IIT Delhi fees of Rs 31,000 in the first semester as a hosteller.

IIT Delhi Fee Refund and Cancellation Policy

IIT Delhi refunds the first-semester fee less Rs 1,000 if you withdraw early. After the cut-off date it refunds only the security money less Rs 1,000. The prospectus gives the timeline for the IIT Delhi fees refund in the 2026-27 admission year. The deadline depends on when you accepted the seat.
