| Institute deposit | ₹20,000 refundable | Refundable deposit |

Fee caution
The official page publishes the 2026-28 schedule while the admission page is already carrying the 2027-29 intake. The portal therefore should not label ₹21.40 lakh or a derived residential total as the final 2027-29 payable cost until the institute publishes the new fee schedule.
