Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average monthly expense at an IIT?

Typically ₹7,500–9,000/month including hostel fee (₹800–1,200), mess (₹3,000–3,500), mobile recharge (₹350), laundry (₹300), stationery (₹400), personal care (₹500), and discretionary spending (₹1,000–1,500). Metro IITs run ₹500–1,500 higher due to outing and travel costs.

Are mess fees included in the semester fee demand?

Yes — most IITs collect a mess advance (₹25,000–32,000) upfront at semester registration. This is adjusted against your actual monthly mess usage. Any unused amount is carried forward or refunded at the end of the semester.
