NIT Coimbatore BE Fees 2026

BE is the flagship undergraduate programme at NIT Coimbatore — 4 years, 12 branches, affiliated to Anna University. The fee structure follows a clean two-tier pattern. Five branches sit at INR 3,90,500 for the full programme: CSE, ECE, Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. The remaining seven branches are priced INR 20,000 lower at INR 3,70,500.

One pricing detail stands out: BE (CSE — Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) is in the lower tier at INR 3,70,500, not alongside core CSE at INR 3,90,500. For a specialization with strong student demand, this likely reflects it being a newer addition to the programme portfolio, added after the original fee band was established for core CSE.

Admission to all BE programmes is through TNEA 2026. Registration ran from May 3 to June 5, 2026, and results were declared on July 1, 2026. Seat allotment is based on Class 12 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Eligibility requires a minimum of 45% aggregate (40% for SC/ST/PwD candidates).

Branch-level cut-offs through TNEA vary each cycle based on seat availability and aggregate applicant scores. Tamil Nadu state board and CBSE students both participate through the same TNEA process. NRI seats and management quota seats, where available, follow a separate application route with independently set fees.

NIT Coimbatore ME Fees 2026

ME at NIT Coimbatore costs INR 1,47,944 for two years — and that figure holds across all four specializations without variation. For a postgraduate engineering degree at a private college in Tamil Nadu, this places NIT Coimbatore well within the affordable range. The choice between CSE, Mechatronics, VLSI Design, and Construction Engineering and Management rests entirely on academic interest and career goals, not on cost.

NIT Coimbatore ME Specializations and Fees

Admission runs through TANCET or GATE. TANCET 2026 was held on May 9, 2026, with results declared on May 22, 2026. GATE 2026 results were released on March 19, 2026. GATE-qualified candidates may be eligible for the AICTE postgraduate scholarship of INR 12,400 per month. Over a 24-month programme, that amounts to INR 2,97,600 — nearly double the total ME fee — making it a net cash-positive route for qualifying GATE scholars.

NIT Coimbatore MBA Fees 2026

Five specializations, one fee. MBA at NIT Coimbatore is uniformly priced at INR 1,67,800 for the full 2-year programme, whether the chosen track is Finance, HRM, Marketing, Production Management, or Systems Management. The single-price approach means the choice of specialization is purely about interest and industry alignment, not about cost variation between tracks.

NIT Coimbatore Ph.D Fees 2026

Ph.D (CSE) at NIT Coimbatore carries a total fee of INR 2,42,680 for the minimum duration of 3 years. This places it above both ME and MBA in absolute cost.
