What does Imperial College of Engineering charge for a BE?
Set by IOE entrance rank, from Rs 1,30,000 to Rs 8,00,000 for the whole four-year programme, with hostel and the Koteshwor bus included.
Every figure below is the total for the full four-year programme across eight semesters, not per year and not per semester. Read a figure like Rs 8,00,000 as annual and you are out by a factor of four, which is exactly the confusion that per-semester quoting depends on.
| Rank band | Electronics, Communication & Information | Civil | Computer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 – 1,000 | Rs 1,30,000 | Rs 1,30,000 | Rs 1,30,000 |
| Rank 1,001 – 2,000 | Rs 3,00,000 | Rs 5,00,000 | Rs 7,00,000 |
| Rank 2,001 – 5,000 | Rs 3,50,000 | Rs 5,50,000 | Rs 7,50,000 |
| Rank 5,001 and above | Rs 4,50,000 | Rs 6,00,000 | Rs 8,00,000 |
Scroll the table sideways for Civil and Computer.
Included in every band, at no extra charge
- Hostel, for enrolled students, all four years
- The daily college bus from Koteshwor to the Tathali campus
Billed separately
Tribhuvan University registration and examination charges, which are set by TU rather than by the college, and food in the mess. A total presented with unnamed extras is the complaint that arrives in semester two, so those are named here rather than left out.
Compare it against the right number
Not against a Regular government seat at Rs 63,087, which almost nobody outside the top of the merit list receives. Against a Full Fee government seat at Rs 5,45,832 for four years with Rs 2,16,470 due on the first day. Do that arithmetic yourself rather than taking our word for which is better.
And do not take this table on trust either
Ask every college for a dated fee sheet, ask whether the figure is per semester, per year or for the programme, and ask what is payable on day one. Those three questions settle most of it.
