The 'Institute Free Studentship' provides a 100% tuition fee waiver, which for a B.Tech program is approximately INR 2,00,000 per year. Additionally, other fee remission schemes offer a 2/3rd tuition fee waiver for students from Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) with an annual family income between INR 5 lakh and INR 10 lakh, which is approximately INR 1,33,333 for a B.Tech program.
