LNCT Indore B.Tech Fees 2026
Branch choice at LNCT Indore has a direct INR 1,34,900 impact on the total cost of a four-year B.Tech. Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering each run at a flat INR 1,00,000 per year with no component split, making them the most straightforward fee structure in the college. CSE and ECE are priced higher at INR 1,32,600 per year in tuition, with an additional INR 4,500 charged as other fees in year 1 alone, pushing the year-1 total to INR 1,37,100 and the overall four-year total to INR 5,34,900.
Admission is through JEE Main scores and the MP DTE centralized counselling process. Eligibility requires 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board. Seat allocation is governed by the DTE MP merit list for the respective counselling rounds.
| Branch | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Total |

LNCT Indore B.Tech Fee Bifurcation
The INR 4,500 other-fees charge on CSE and ECE is a one-time year-1 item. From year 2 onwards, students in these branches pay only the INR 1,32,600 tuition component, so the annual outgo actually drops slightly after the first year. Civil and Mechanical Engineering carry no such split at all. The INR 1,00,000 figure covers the full annual fee for those branches across all four years.
| Fee Component | CSE / ECE Year 1 | CSE / ECE Year 2 to 4 | Civil / Mechanical (All Years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition Fee | INR 1,32,600 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 1,00,000 |
| Other Fees | INR 4,500 | Nil | Nil |
| Annual Total | INR 1,37,100 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 1,00,000 |
LNCT Indore B.Tech Lateral Entry Fees 2026
The lateral entry route compresses B.Tech into three years for polytechnic diploma holders, and at LNCT Indore that compression also reduces the total cost. Regular B.Tech CSE students pay INR 5,34,900 across four years. A lateral entrant in CSE pays INR 4,02,300 across three years, saving INR 1,32,600. The saving comes from two sources: one fewer year of tuition, and the complete absence of the year-1 other-fees charge that regular students pay.
Civil and Mechanical lateral fees remain at INR 1,00,000 per year, totalling INR 3,00,000 over three years. Admission is through the MP DTE lateral entry counselling process. LNCT Indore also accepts direct lateral admissions in some cases. Eligibility requires a three-year polytechnic diploma in the relevant engineering discipline.
| Branch | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civil Engineering | INR 1,00,000 | INR 1,00,000 | INR 1,00,000 | INR 3,00,000 |
| CSE | INR 1,37,100 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 4,02,300 |
| ECE | INR 1,37,100 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 1,32,600 | INR 4,02,300 |
| Mechanical Engineering | INR 1,00,000 | INR 1,00,000 | INR 1,00,000 | INR 3,00,000 |
LNCT Indore M.Tech Fees 2026
At INR 62,000 per year, M.Tech at LNCT Indore costs INR 1,24,000 for the full two-year programme. That is less than what a B.Tech CSE student pays in year 1 alone (INR 1,37,100), making M.Tech the most affordable credential the college offers on a total-cost basis. Both offered specializations, Computer Science and Engineering and VLSI Technology, carry exactly the same annual fee.
Admission to M.Tech requires a valid GATE score in the relevant paper, followed by seat allotment through the MP DTE counselling process. Candidates must hold a B.E./B.Tech degree or an equivalent qualification in a related engineering discipline from a recognized university.
| Specialization | Annual Fee | Total Fee (2 Years) |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | INR 62,000 | INR 1,24,000 |
| VLSI Technology | INR 62,000 | INR 1,24,000 |
LNCT Indore MBA Fees 2026
MBA at LNCT Indore presents a pricing quirk worth noting. The general MBA and MBA Marketing are uniformly priced at INR 69,000 per year, totalling INR 1,38,000 over two years. MBA Finance, however, totals INR 1,10,000 for the complete programme, which is INR 28,000 less than Marketing. That gap is not accounted for by any visible difference in duration, delivery format, or credit load. The annual breakdown for Finance has not been separately published. Admission to all three runs through CAT, MAT, or CMAT scores, followed by MP state-level counselling. Eligibility is a bachelor’s degree in any discipline with at least 50 percent marks.
| Programme | Annual Fee | Total Fee (2 Years) |
|---|---|---|
| MBA (General) | INR 69,000 | INR 1,38,000 |
| MBA Finance | Not published separately | INR 1,10,000 |
| MBA Marketing | INR 69,000 | INR 1,38,000 |
Note: The per-year fee for MBA Finance has not been officially broken out. The two-year total of INR 1,10,000 is sourced from the LNCT Indore fee notification. Verify the semester-wise payment schedule with the institute before payment.
