KIOT Salem Courses and Fees 2026

KIOT Salem BE and B.Tech Fees 2026

At INR 50,000 per year and INR 2,00,000 over four years, KIOT Salem’s government quota undergraduate engineering fee is the same across every branch it offers. Six BE programmes and three B.Tech specializations are on offer, and the fee does not shift whether a student picks a legacy discipline like Civil or Mechanical Engineering or a newer programme like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science or Computer Science and Business Systems. That uniformity, unusual even among Tamil Nadu autonomous institutions, simplifies fee planning regardless of branch preference.

Admission runs through TNEA counselling using Class 12 Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics aggregate scores. Eligibility requires a minimum of 45% in PCM subjects for General candidates and 40% for reserved category candidates. KIOT is an autonomous institution affiliated to Anna University, which grants affiliation for all programmes listed. The autonomous status means the college sets its own internal assessment patterns, though the degree is awarded by Anna University.

KIOT Salem MBA Fees 2026

Nine MBA specializations at INR 70,000 for two years: at INR 35,000 per year, the KIOT Salem MBA is one of the most price-competitive management programmes among autonomous colleges in the Salem district. Government quota MBA seats are filled through TANCET rank, and the entry requirement is a graduation degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks. Candidates from commerce, science, and engineering backgrounds are all eligible for the general MBA track.

The nine specializations span a broad functional range, from conventional Finance and Marketing to newer tracks like Business Analytics, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and a dedicated Starts Ups specialization. All nine carry the same regulated government quota fee, so choice of specialization has no bearing on cost. This breadth at a single fee point is a meaningful differentiator compared with most B-schools in the region, where specialization menus are shorter and fees are higher.
