If you're planning to study B.E. Computer Science, the fees depend on the type of college you choose. In government colleges like Anna University, it's quite affordable, ranging from around 30,000 to 47,000 per year. Private colleges like Saveetha or CIT usually charge between 50,000 to 1.6 lakhs per year. But if you’re looking at premium universities like Sai University, the fees can go up to 4 to 5.8 lakhs a year, including hostel. It depends on your budget, whether you need hostel, and if you can get a scholarship.

Hello Shailesh,

Yes, you may take direct admission to B.Sc. Computer Science even if you completed intermediate with MPC background and 48% merit. Nevertheless eligibility depends on the college or university. Some institutions may require you to have some minimum percentage (50-55% typically), while other may grant you admission through a management quota or entrance exams. I would suggest you check the eligibility of the particular college that you are considering.

To get admission in a college for Diploma in Computer Science , you need to follow the general admission process based on your state’s education board. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Eligibility

• You must have passed Class 10 or Secondary School Examination from a recognized board.

• Some states may require a minimum of 35 percent to 50 percent aggregate marks .

  2. Entrance Exam or Merit-Based Admission

• In many states, admission is through a polytechnic entrance exam such as:

  • Karnataka – DCET or state-level polytechnic counselling

  • Tamil Nadu – Direct admission through merit

  • Maharashtra – CAP rounds through merit

  • Delhi – Common Entrance Test (CET Delhi)

• In other states, admission may be based on Class 10 merit only.

BTech CSE fees change from college to college. But mostly, in big government colleges, one semester costs around 30,000 to 60,000. In private colleges, it can go up to 1 lakh or even more for one semester. It’s like how toys are cheaper in some shops and costlier in others!

At KMO Arts and Science College, Koduvally, Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) with Computer Applications is offered as a self financing programme under the University of Calicut but unable to find the exact fee structure listed online. Self financing programmes at similar colleges in the region typically range anywhere from forty thousand rupees to sixty thousand rupees per year , depending on the course and institution.

Dear Aspirant,

If you did not qualify in EAMCET but are part of a minority community, you can still apply for minority counselling. This counselling offers leftover or reserved seats in minority institutions. It usually does not occur at the same time as general counselling; instead, it takes place either separately or after the general phases are done. The Minority Welfare Department or the EAMCET authorities organize this process for Muslim or Christian minority students. If you get a seat through this official counselling, you will not have to pay any donation, as the government or AFRC regulates the fees. However, if you go directly to a college through management quota or spot admissions without counselling, you may face higher charges or donations. Whether to wait for counselling or enroll in B.Sc. Computer Science depends on your interests and career goals. If you are interested in software or IT, a B.Sc. in Computer Science is a solid choice that can lead to further studies or jobs in technology. It is a safer option if you are unsure about getting a seat through minority counselling. Therefore, it is wise to apply for minority counselling and also keep B.Sc. Computer Science as a backup to avoid wasting a year. If you secure a seat later through minority counselling, you can withdraw from the B.Sc. course. This way, you don’t take unnecessary risks and maintain your academic progress.

All the Best.

Dear Aspirant,

If you did not attend the UG counselling for the BSc Computer Science course on 03/06/2025, you may still have a chance to get admission, depending on the college's policies and seat availability. Some colleges conduct spot admissions or allow late admissions if they have vacant seats after the main counselling rounds. In these situations, contact the college admission office directly to ask if they are still accepting applications or holding any additional counselling rounds. If the college is part of a university, check the university's official website for updates about any special or mop-up counselling rounds. In private colleges, you might also be able to apply through management quota, but this could involve a higher fee. It is important to act quickly, gather all necessary documents, and keep an eye on any notifications from the college or university to secure your admission.

Several institutions in India offer Diploma programs in Computer Science and Engineering. Some well-known options include the Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology (SLIET), Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT), and various branches of the National Institute of Technology (NIT). Additionally, many private institutions like Lovely Professional University (LPU), Galgotias University, and others also provide diploma programs.

The Diploma in Computer Science Engineering at University Polytechnic, Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Mesra, Ranchi follows this fee structure

Annual Tuition Fee

Rs. 32,000 per year

Total duration of 3 years (standard entry)

It’s important to note that this usually covers only tuition . Additional charges such as exam fees, development fees, registration, library, laboratory, and other service fees may apply. Depending on the specific academic session and regulatory directives, overall yearly cost including these charges could be higher .

Yes, M.K. College offers both:

B.Sc. Computer Science (Computer Applications-related)

B.Sc. Information Technology (IT)

Both are 3-year UG programs with practical exposure.
