IIT Jodhpur BS Management & Technology Fees 2026: The Complete Breakdown
The total fee for IIT Jodhpur's B.S. in Management and Technology is Rs 5,60,000 across four years (Rs 1,40,000 per year, paid in annual instalments), plus a non-refundable Rs 999 entrance test fee and a separate seat booking amount paid at counselling.
The full fee structure, component by component
1. Entrance test fee, Rs 999
This is the first payment in the process, made when you submit your application. It covers your seat in IIT Jodhpur's own online qualifying test, 60 multiple-choice questions across logical reasoning, verbal ability and numerical ability, completed in 120 minutes. The fee also includes your prep kit and mock test access, so it isn't purely an administrative charge; it buys you preparation material as well as the test slot itself. It is explicitly non-refundable regardless of whether you clear the test. Budget for this as a sunk cost of applying, not as a fee that later contributes toward your tuition.
2. Seat booking amount, paid at counselling
Once you clear the entrance test and are shortlisted, you'll attend a counselling session where the programme and admission process are explained in detail.
3. Year 1 tuition instalment, Rs 1,35,000
Year 1 is charged at the same flat rate as every other year of the programme: Rs 1,40,000 (1,35,000 + 5000). This instalment is typically due within a short window after your admission offer, commonly within 10 days, so plan your finances for this payment before you accept the offer, not after.
4. Years 2, 3 and 4 tuition instalments, Rs 1,40,000 each
Years 2 through 4 are charged at the same flat annual rate as Year 1: Rs 1,40,000 per year. Multiply Rs 1,40,000 by four years and you get the full Rs 5,60,000 total programme cost, due before each respective academic year commences.
Full year-by-year payment calendar
Use this table as your actual cash-flow planning tool rather than relying on the single headline total quoted elsewhere, most applicants budget only for the four tuition instalments and are then genuinely surprised when the entrance fee, seat booking amount, immersion charges and convocation fee stack on top of what they expected to pay.
The refund policy, in full
If your circumstances change after paying, here's what the official refund policy covers, stage by stage:
- Before the commencement of classes: 100% refund of applicable fees. This is your full safety window, if you paid and then, before your batch actually starts, decide the programme isn't right for you after all, you get the full applicable amount back with no penalty.
- Within 1 month of the commencement of classes: a partial refund applies. Check the current schedule directly on the official page for the exact percentage at the time you're applying, since this specific detail is one that has shifted between publication cycles in the past.
- After that one-month window: refund eligibility narrows sharply, and in most standard programme refund policies of this structure, drops to zero once you're meaningfully into the academic term.
The entrance test fee is separately and explicitly non-refundable regardless of when you withdraw. That Rs 999 is gone the moment you pay it, whether you clear the test or not. The seat booking amount is also described as non-refundable in the official terms, which is worth internalising before you pay it: confirming your seat at counselling is treated by the institute as a firm financial commitment, not a soft hold you can walk back penalty-free.
What happens to your fees if you defer
If you need to pause your studies partway through, the programme does allow for a formal deferral, but not immediately, and not free of cost. You can only apply for a deferral after successfully completing the first year of the programme; deferral is not permitted before joining or during the first year itself, and any request is subject to approval by the Programme Director rather than being granted automatically on request. If your deferral is approved, it's typically permitted for up to one year and can be used only once during the entire four-year programme. During that approved deferral period, a 30% academic fee is applicable, so deferring isn't cost-free, even though you're not attending classes during that window and not progressing academically. Budget for this possibility if you think a career change, a health issue, a family circumstance or another significant commitment might require you to pause partway through the degree.
What happens to your fees if you exit early
Because the programme follows a stackable, NEP-compliant exit structure, "leaving early" doesn't mean losing everything you've paid the way it might on a conventional, all-or-nothing degree. You can exit after each year with a genuinely recognised credential:
- Certificate in Business Fundamentals after Year 1
- Diploma in Management and Technology after Year 2
- Bachelor of Science in Management & Technology after Year 3
- Full B.S. in Management & Technology after Year 4
Each exit point corresponds to the fees you've already paid up to that point, you don't forfeit the entire projected four-year cost if you decide, say after Year 2. That a Diploma is sufficient for your career plans at that time, or if your circumstances change and you need to step away with something concrete to show for what you've already invested. This is a meaningfully different financial structure from a conventional degree, where partial completion often means partial credential and full sunk cost with nothing formal to show for it; here, each year's payment buys a real, named, stackable credential increment rather than just incremental progress toward one eventual degree that only pays off if you finish all four years.
How this fee compares to your real alternatives
Before treating this fee in isolation, it's worth benchmarking it against your genuine alternatives:
- Against IIT Jodhpur's own Applied AI & Data Science programme: a separate degree with its own fee schedule and its own delivery partner. Don't assume the fee for one applies to the other, see our full comparison of the two programmes if you're weighing which one fits your goals and budget better.
- Against other online BS degrees in India generally: private university online degrees typically run considerably lower, in the Rs 60,000-2,00,000 range for a full programme, though usually with a different, more variable recognition profile than an IIT-branded degree. See our full fee comparison across online BS degrees for the wider market picture.
- Against the eligibility criteria you'll need to meet before this fee schedule is even relevant to you: confirm you actually qualify before comparing costs in detail, see the full eligibility breakdown.
- Against the entrance test itself, since that Rs 999 is spent before you know whether you'll be admitted at all, see the full entrance exam pattern and prep guidance to gauge your odds before you commit that first payment.
A practical budgeting checklist before you apply
- Confirm the current-cycle Year 1 and total figures directly on the official fee structure section, don't rely solely on any third-party blog, including this one, for the exact live number.
- Set aside the Rs 999 entrance fee as money you will not get back, regardless of outcome.
- Have the seat booking amount ready in cash or accessible funds the moment you clear the entrance test, the counselling-to-payment window can be tight.
- Add roughly Rs 10,000-25,000 across the four years for campus immersion and convocation charges on top of the headline tuition total.
- If you're not fully certain you'll complete all four years, budget primarily against the year you're most likely to complete, using the stackable-exit structure as your actual financial safety net rather than the marketing framing of a "four-year degree."
Frequently asked questions
What is the total fee for IIT Jodhpur's BS in Management and Technology? The confirmed total is Rs 5,60,000 across four years of tuition (Rs 1,40,000 per year, flat), plus the separate Rs 999 entrance test fee, the seat booking amount, campus immersion charges and the convocation fee. Always verify the live figure on the official programme page before paying, since fee pages are periodically revised.
Is the entrance test fee refundable if I don't clear the test? No. The Rs 999 entrance test fee is explicitly non-refundable regardless of your test outcome, and it is separate from every other payment in the process.
What refund do I get if I withdraw after paying my first instalment? 100% refund if you withdraw before classes commence; a reduced, partial refund within the first month of classes; minimal to no refund after that window. The seat booking amount and entrance fee are non-refundable at any stage, including before classes commence.
Do I have to pay the campus immersion fee even if I want to skip visiting campus? The immersion is described as optional and subject to Programme Director approval, so if you don't participate in a given year's immersion, you likely wouldn't be charged that year's immersion fee, but confirm this directly with admissions rather than assuming, since programme design details like this can vary by cohort and by year.
Can I pay the total fee upfront instead of yearly instalments? The published fee structure is presented as year-wise instalments rather than a single upfront lump sum. If an upfront payment option exists, it isn't documented on the standard fee table, ask admissions directly at the counselling stage if this matters to your financial planning.
What happens if I miss the Year 1 payment deadline after accepting my offer? Your admission offer is provisional until the seat booking amount and Year 1 instalment are both paid within the stated window (typically 10 days from the offer). Missing that deadline risks losing your confirmed seat, so treat it as a hard financial commitment the moment you accept, not a flexible target date.
