The college is recognized under Section 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act and is affiliated with Anna University. All seven programmes lead to degrees awarded by Anna University, ensuring that graduates hold qualifications recognized across India for government jobs, PG admissions, and private employment.

LICET Chennai Courses and Fees 2026

All programmes at LICET, Chennai carry an identical total fee of INR 2,00,000 for four years. The three fee points that distinguish most private engineering colleges (by branch demand, by lab intensity, or by industry alignment) do not apply here. A student who picks AI and Data Science pays the same as one who picks Mechanical Engineering.

LICET Chennai BE Fees 2026

The Bachelor of Engineering programme at LICET, Chennai spans five branches: AI and Data Science, CSE, EEE, ECE, and Mechanical Engineering. Every branch carries the same total fee of INR 2,00,000 across four years. At INR 50,000 per year, the annual cost is a fraction of what many private engineering colleges in Chennai charge, particularly for high-demand branches like CSE and AI, where private colleges often charge INR 1,20,000 to INR 2,50,000 or more annually.

LICET is affiliated with Anna University and follows the Anna University curriculum for all BE programmes. The college is a minority institution established through the Loyola-ICAM partnership. Loyola is the Jesuit educational trust in Chennai, and ICAM (Institut Catholique des Arts et Métiers) being a French engineering institution. This partnership shapes the academic environment and brings an international dimension to the engineering curriculum.

Admission to all BE programmes is through TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions). TNEA 2026 registrations ran from May 3 to June 5, 2026, with results on July 1, 2026. TNEA does not require an entrance examination. Admissions are based on 10+2 marks in the relevant subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for engineering). Eligibility requires a pass in 10+2 with PCM subjects and a minimum aggregate as specified by TNEA norms. LICET is classified under the minority institution category, meaning it follows applicable reservation norms for minority seats alongside TNEA-allotted seats.

The uniform fee structure at LICET is partly attributed to its status as a government-aided minority institution. Government aid subsidizes a portion of the operational cost, keeping the student-facing fee low compared to fully private self-financing engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. For students from SC, ST, BC, OBC, and EBC categories who qualify for Tamil Nadu state government scholarship schemes, the effective out-of-pocket cost can be even lower than the published INR 50,000 annual fee. Students seeking scholarship details should check the Tamil Nadu state government scholarship portal (tnscholarship.net.in) after enrollment.

LICET Chennai B.Tech Fees 2026

Two B.Tech programmes are available at LICET: Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and Information Technology. Both carry the same INR 2,00,000 total fee as the BE programmes. AI and Data Science is uniquely offered as both BE and B.Tech at LICET, with no fee distinction between the two degree types. Students choosing between BE AI&DS and B.Tech AI&DS are deciding on curriculum orientation and degree nomenclature under Anna University norms, not on cost.

B.Tech Information Technology is one of the most in-demand streams at private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. At LICET, it costs INR 50,000 per year, a rate that compares favourably with IT programmes at several well-regarded private colleges in the state. The B.Tech programmes follow Anna University curriculum and are eligible for the same campus placement and industry-interface activities as the BE programmes. Admission for both B.Tech programmes is through TNEA counselling on the basis of 10+2 PCM marks, with no entrance examination required. The Directorate of Technical Education, Tamil Nadu, allocates seats through the TNEA rank list.

LICET Chennai Application Fees

Admissions to LICET, Chennai are entirely through the TNEA centralized process managed by the Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE), Tamil Nadu. There is no LICET-specific entrance examination. Application and processing fees are paid to the TNEA authority rather than to the college directly.

• TNEA Registration: TNEA registration fee is paid on the official TNEA portal (tnea.ac.in) at the time of applying. For 2026, registrations ran from May 3 to June 5, 2026, with the TNEA rank list published on July 1, 2026. The registration fee is set by the Directorate of Technical Education, Tamil Nadu, and is separate from any fee payable to LICET.
• LICET Minority Quota: For seats allotted under the minority quota, LICET’s own admission office handles the process. Any institute-level application or processing fee for minority seats should be confirmed directly with the college.
• Special Reservation and NRI Quota: If applicable, check with the TNEA authority and LICET’s admissions office for fees applicable to these categories.

For any fee payable directly to LICET at the time of enrollment (including caution deposit, activity charges, or laboratory fees), confirm the amounts with the college at the time of joining. As a minority institution, LICET may have specific fee structures for minority quota and management quota seats that differ from TNEA-allotted general seats. Verify all applicable charges with the LICET admissions office or visit licet.ac.in. Students from minority communities or economically weaker sections may also be eligible for state and central government scholarship schemes, which can be applied for through the Tamil Nadu scholarship portal after enrollment.
