SJIT Chennai B.E. and B.Tech Fees 2026
Seven programmes, two fee tiers. Government and General quota students pay INR 2.20 Lakhs over four years across all branches. Management quota students pay INR 3.48 Lakhs for the same four years. The INR 1.28 Lakhs gap represents a 58 percent premium that management quota candidates absorb in exchange for admission outside the TNEA merit-based cutoff process. The per-year cost for Government quota is INR 55,000 and for Management quota is INR 87,000. Per semester, Government quota students pay INR 27,500 and Management quota students pay INR 43,500.
Across the seven UG programmes, Computer Science and Engineering, AI and Data Science, and Information Technology typically see higher TNEA cutoffs compared to Civil and Mechanical Engineering. Despite this, the college charges a uniform fee across all branches under both quota types. A CSE student and a Civil Engineering student at SJIT pay the same INR 2,20,000 under Government quota over four years.
Admission through Government and General quota runs through TNEA, the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions process. TNEA is a rank-based process, not an entrance exam: candidates are ranked by their 10+2 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, and seats are allotted through online counselling rounds. TNEA 2026 registration ran from May 3 to June 5, 2026, with rank publication on July 1, 2026. Management quota seats are filled separately through direct application to the college, typically for candidates who have cleared JEE Main or meet the minimum eligibility criteria specified by the institution.

SJIT Chennai MBA Fees 2026
MBA at SJIT runs for two years under Government and General quota at a total fee of INR 41,000. Per year, that is INR 20,500 and per semester INR 10,250. At this level, the MBA here is among the lowest-fee management programmes at a private Anna University-affiliated institution in Chennai, where MBA fees at comparable private colleges routinely run into several Lakhs per year. The low fee is the result of government fee regulation under Tamil Nadu’s fee fixation framework for unaided minority colleges in the state. Admission is through TANCET. TANCET 2026 registration opened on March 16, closed on April 15, and the exam was held on May 9, 2026, with results on May 22, 2026. A bachelor’s degree in any discipline with the minimum aggregate specified by Anna University for the current cycle is required.
