JNNIE Thiruvallur Courses and Fees 2026

JNNIE Thiruvallur BE Fees 2026

Five BE programmes run at JNNIE across a 4-year curriculum, affiliated to Anna University, Chennai. Admission is through TNEA - Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions - a merit-based process that uses 10+2 marks without a separate entrance exam. TNEA 2026 registrations ran from May 3 to June 5, 2026, with counselling results released on July 1, 2026. Eligibility is Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) at the 10+2 level with cut-off marks as determined by TNEA each year.

A pattern that stands out: for four of the five BE branches - Biomedical, CSE, Cyber Security, and Electrical and Communication - the government quota total fee is a uniform INR 2.20 Lakhs for four years, or INR 55,000 per year. Management quota fees for the same branches, however, span a much wider range, from INR 6.334 Lakhs for Biomedical to INR 9.734 Lakhs for Cyber Security.

BE Specialisations and Fees at JNNIE Thiruvallur

Category-wise fee bifurcation (SC/ST/OBC) has not been separately published in the available fee schedule. Tamil Nadu government provides fee reimbursement for students from SC, ST, MBC, and BC communities under state scholarship schemes. Eligible students should apply through the Tamil Nadu e-Scholarships portal (tnedonline.tn.gov.in) independently of the JNNIE admission process.

JNNIE Thiruvallur B.Tech Fees 2026

Two B.Tech tracks - Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and VLSI Design - are offered at JNNIE, both of 4-year duration. The general quota fee of INR 5.68 Lakhs for both B.Tech programmes is notably higher than the INR 2.20 Lakhs charged for most BE branches under the same quota, reflecting the market demand for these specialised fields. Admission follows the same TNEA route as BE, based on 10+2 PCM scores without a separate entrance test.

For both B.Tech courses, the government quota (INR 4.40 Lakhs) is significantly lower than the general quota (INR 5.68 Lakhs), making a difference of INR 1.28 Lakhs over four years. VLSI Design under management quota at INR 7.734 Lakhs is INR 2.00 Lakhs cheaper than AI and Data Science at INR 9.734 Lakhs - the widest management-quota spread across any two courses at JNNIE.

JNNIE Thiruvallur MBA Fees 2026

MBA Finance at INR 1.748 Lakhs for the 2-year programme is the most affordable course at JNNIE - cheaper than even the government quota fee for BE Robotics or either B.Tech programme. The remaining four MBA specialisations (Data Science and AI, Human Resource Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and Marketing) charge INR 2.158 Lakhs for the general quota. Admission to MBA is through TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test), with the 2026 exam held on May 9, 2026, results declared on May 22, 2026. Eligibility is a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50 percent marks.

One detail worth noting: for MBA Data Science and AI, the government quota and management quota fees are identical at INR 3.897 Lakhs - the highest MBA fee across any quota at JNNIE. Students from Tamil Nadu’s SC, ST, MBC, and BC communities may apply for state fee reimbursement through the Tamil Nadu e-Scholarships portal.

JNNIE Thiruvallur Application Fees

JNNIE does not charge a separate institute-level application fee for BE or B.Tech admissions. The admission process for engineering programmes runs through TNEA, managed by the Tamil Nadu government’s Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE). Any registration fee is paid directly to DOTE through the TNEA portal, not to JNNIE.

• TNEA 2026 registration: Paid to the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Technical Education through the official TNEA portal at tneaonline.org
• TANCET 2026 registration: Paid to Anna University for MBA admissions. Registration for the 2026 cycle ran from March 16 to April 15, 2026
• Management quota admissions: A processing fee may apply for direct management quota applications. Candidates should check the current fee directly with the JNNIE admissions office

Fees paid at the TNEA or TANCET stage go to the respective government bodies, not to the institute. JNNIE collects programme fees only after seat confirmation and completion of admission formalities.

JNNIE Thiruvallur Hostel and Mess Fees 2026

JNNIE provides separate hostel facilities for boys and girls on or near campus. Hostel fees range from INR 80,000 to INR 1,25,000 per year, covering accommodation and mess charges. Students should confirm the current year’s hostel fee and room availability with the JNNIE hostel office at the time of joining, as charges can vary by room type and boarding plan.

For a BE student on general quota (4 years at INR 55,000 per year for programme fee), adding the hostel cost at INR 80,000 per year brings the total annual cost to INR 1,35,000, rising to INR 1,80,000 per year at the higher hostel rate. Students are advised to verify what is included in the hostel fee (room, mess, electricity) directly with the hostel administration.
