Indian Institute for Aeronautical Engineering and Information Technology Pune Courses & Fees 2026

IIAEIT Pune fees range from INR 7 Lakhs for the two-year M.Tech in Aerospace Engineering to INR 17.5 Lakhs for the five-year Integrated B.Tech plus M.Tech. The three flagship B.Tech programs in Aeronautical, Aerospace, and Avionics Engineering each cost INR 10 Lakhs for the full four-year course. Lateral B.Tech entry across all three streams is available at INR 7.5 Lakhs over three years for diploma holders. Across all nine programs, every course has a counterpart at the same fee as the one sharing its entry point, which makes IIAEIT one of the more transparent fee structures among private engineering colleges in Maharashtra focused exclusively on the aviation sector.

Note: Fee figures reflect the 2026-27 admission cycle as published on the official IIAEIT website at iiaeit.org. Prospective students should confirm the latest fee notification at the portal before the counselling deadline, as fee revisions can occur ahead of each intake.

IIAEIT Pune Courses and Fees 2026-27

IIAEIT Pune B.Tech Fees 2026-27

The fee picture for B.Tech at IIAEIT Pune is unusually clear: all three specializations cost INR 10 Lakhs for four years, which works out to INR 1.25 Lakhs per semester across eight semesters. The choice between Aeronautical, Aerospace, and Avionics Engineering is made entirely on academic and career interest, not on cost.

B.Tech admission runs through two channels. MHT-CET scores, from the Maharashtra State CET Cell’s April 2026 exam (results declared June 16, 2026), feed into the Maharashtra centralized admissions process (CAP). SPACE-CET, IIAEIT’s own entrance and scholarship exam, is the second route and also determines merit-based scholarship eligibility. The minimum eligibility is 50 percent in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at the 10+2 level (45 percent for reserved categories under Maharashtra norms).

B.Tech Specializations and Fees

Aeronautical Engineering covers the design, analysis, and maintenance of aircraft, covering structures, propulsion, aerodynamics, and flight mechanics. Aerospace Engineering broadens that scope to include satellites and spacecraft alongside conventional aviation systems. Avionics Engineering is focused on the electronics inside aircraft: navigation systems, flight management hardware, cockpit displays, communication equipment, and embedded avionics software.

No category-wise fee bifurcation data (General, OBC, SC/ST, NRI) has been published for the B.Tech at IIAEIT at the time of writing. Students from reserved categories should confirm applicable concessions with the IIAEIT admissions office directly, particularly for Maharashtra’s Directorate of Technical Education-regulated fee waivers under the state’s social justice department norms.

Graduates from the B.Tech program at IIAEIT typically seek placements in commercial aviation MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) companies, defence public sector undertakings such as HAL and DRDO, and civil aviation authorities. The narrowly focused curriculum across all three specializations is aligned to industry segments that have sustained recruitment from aviation-specific engineering colleges in India.

IIAEIT Pune B.Tech + M.Tech Integrated Fees 2026-27

At INR 17.5 Lakhs for five years, the Integrated B.Tech plus M.Tech costs INR 7.5 Lakhs more than a standalone B.Tech and delivers a postgraduate qualification alongside the engineering degree. Spread across ten semesters, the per-semester cost is INR 1.75 Lakhs. Both tracks, Aerospace Engineering and Defence Technology, carry the same total fee.

Integrated Program Tracks and Fees

The Defence Technology track is the more specialized offering. It layers defence systems engineering, military aviation concepts, and weapons integration coursework onto the core aerospace curriculum, making it a strong match for students targeting roles in DRDO, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), or the Indian armed forces’ technical branches. The Aerospace Engineering integrated track suits candidates aiming for ISRO, private aerospace firms, or research-oriented careers post-graduation.

On cost, the integrated route is competitive but not drastically cheaper than pursuing the two degrees separately. A standalone B.Tech at INR 10 Lakhs followed by the IIAEIT M.Tech at INR 7 Lakhs adds up to INR 17 Lakhs over six years. The integrated path at INR 17.5 Lakhs costs INR 50,000 more but completes both qualifications in five years and does not require qualifying GATE separately for the M.Tech component.

IIAEIT Pune Fees for Other Courses 2026-27

Beyond the flagship four-year B.Tech, IIAEIT offers two additional entry paths: Lateral B.Tech for diploma holders and M.Tech in Aerospace Engineering for GATE-qualified candidates. Both are structured around the same per-semester cost as the regular B.Tech, but with shorter durations and lower total outflows.

M.Tech Aerospace Engineering at INR 7 Lakhs is the most affordable program per year at the institute, averaging INR 3.5 Lakhs annually across four semesters. Admission is through a valid GATE score in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related paper. GATE 2026 was held February 7 to 15, 2026, with results declared March 19, 2026. The M.Tech is also the natural entry point for engineers who completed their B.Tech at a general engineering college and wish to specialize in aerospace systems, propulsion, or avionics at the postgraduate level in Pune, one of Maharashtra’s primary aerospace education hubs.

Lateral B.Tech at INR 7.5 Lakhs is designed for diploma holders in aeronautical, mechanical, or electronics engineering disciplines. Students enter directly at the second year, completing the degree in three years and six semesters at INR 1.25 Lakhs per semester. Against the regular B.Tech at INR 10 Lakhs, the lateral path saves INR 2.5 Lakhs and one year of enrollment. All three lateral specializations (Aeronautical, Aerospace, Avionics) carry identical fees.

IIAEIT Pune Application Fees

IIAEIT Pune routes undergraduate admissions through two exam systems: MHT-CET, which is centrally administered, and SPACE-CET, IIAEIT’s own aptitude and scholarship test. Postgraduate admissions run through GATE. No separate institute application fee is applicable for MHT-CET or GATE-routed candidates at the time of applying to IIAEIT.

• MHT-CET 2026 registration fee: Paid to the Maharashtra State CET Cell, not to IIAEIT. Registration for MHT-CET 2026 ran January 10 to February 24, 2026. Exam was conducted April 11 to 26, 2026.
• GATE 2026 application fee: Paid to the organizing IIT, not to IIAEIT. GATE 2026 was held February 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2026.
• SPACE-CET: IIAEIT’s proprietary entrance test. Registration details, schedule, and any associated application fee for the current cycle are available at iiaeit.org/admissions/space-cet. Candidates should check the portal before registering, as details may vary by intake.

At the time of seat acceptance during CAP counselling or direct allotment through IIAEIT, a seat acceptance fee is typically collected to confirm enrollment. The exact amount should be confirmed with the IIAEIT admissions office at the time of counselling, as it is separate from the annual program fee. This one-time amount is credited toward the first-year fee installment at most Maharashtra private colleges, but the specific treatment at IIAEIT should be verified directly with the admissions team before the counselling deadline.
