Dadi Institute of Engineering and Technology Visakhapatnam B.Tech Fees 2026

DIET Visakhapatnam holds autonomous status under JNTUK affiliation, which means the college conducts its own examinations and frames its own assessments while granting a JNTUK-recognised degree. The autonomous designation also allows the college to introduce industry-aligned programmes faster than a non-autonomous affiliate. The B.Tech programme runs for four years across eight specialisations. All eight branches carry the same fee: INR 1,89,600 for four years, or INR 47,400 per year. Admissions go through AP EAMCET counselling conducted by APSCHE, and students receive their branch allotment based on rank and preference.

The 2026 fee schedule covers both core engineering branches and newer technology disciplines. AI, AIML, Data Sciences, and Electronics and Computer Engineering carry the same fee as established branches like CSE and ECE. Students weighing options between CSE and AIML, or between ECE and Electronics and Computer Engineering, face no financial difference in the total cost at all.

B.Tech Specialisations and Fees

Dadi Institute of Engineering and Technology Visakhapatnam B.Tech Lateral Entry Fees 2026

Lateral entry compresses B.Tech to three years for diploma holders who qualify for direct second-year admission. At INR 1,42,200 total, the fee saving over the standard four-year programme is INR 47,400. Seven branches are available for lateral entry: CSE, Civil, EEE, ECE, AIML, Data Science, and Electronics and Computer Engineering. Lateral admissions are processed through AP ECET counselling by APSCHE, and the qualifying criterion is a polytechnic diploma or a B.Sc degree in a relevant science discipline.

For diploma graduates considering their options, the lateral entry route at DIET offers not just a fee reduction but also a shorter time-to-degree. The three-year total of INR 1,42,200 at DIET is still a credentialed engineering degree from a JNTUK-affiliated autonomous institution.

Dadi Institute of Engineering and Technology Visakhapatnam M.Tech Fees 2026

Four M.Tech specialisations are offered, and all four carry an identical fee of INR 1,16,800 for the full two-year programme. At INR 58,400 per year, the annual cost is higher than B.Tech (INR 47,400 per year), but the two-year total is substantially lower than the four-year B.Tech total. DIET offers specialisations that go beyond standard choices: VLSI Technology and Power System and Industrial Drives cater to students in electronics and power engineering, while CSE and System and Signal Processing serve computing and communications tracks. Admissions proceed through AP PGECET counselling conducted by APSCHE.

M.Tech Specialisations and Fees

Dadi Institute of Engineering and Technology Visakhapatnam Fees for Other Courses 2026

MBA admissions at DIET typically go through AP ICET counselling. MCA admissions also proceed via AP ICET. Both run for two years. BCA, a three-year undergraduate programme, is among the most cost-effective computing credentials in Visakhapatnam at INR 54,000 total. Diploma programmes in three engineering disciplines offer a polytechnic-level route into the campus at INR 75,000 over three years, and diploma graduates can later apply for lateral entry into B.Tech through AP ECET.

MCA at INR 70,000 is cheaper than MBA at INR 74,400 for the full two years, which is an unusual reversal given that MCA is typically longer at other institutions. At DIET, both run for two years, putting MCA at a slight pricing advantage over MBA. BCA at INR 54,000 is the only programme on campus that costs less than INR 60,000 in total, making it the most accessible entry point by fee. Diploma graduates who complete their diploma at DIET in Computer, EEE, or ECE can apply for B.Tech lateral entry at the same institution, creating a continuous academic pathway without leaving the campus.

Dadi Institute of Engineering and Technology Visakhapatnam Application Fees

DIET Visakhapatnam does not levy a separate institute-level application fee for programmes admitted through state counselling.
