How good are the BTech placements at IIIT Guwahati?

The fee structure of IIIT Guwahati is segregated in three parts including per semester tuition fee, institute caution money and hostel fee. Hostel fee will be incurred only if you plan to stay in the hotel. Otherwise, you only need to pay tuition fee and institute caution money (one-time refundable fee). Do remember that you pay caution money only once throughout your course. From second semester, you will pay only tuition and hostel fee if you are living in hostel. Otherwise, you will only pay the tuition fee.

Students need to pay INR 12,500 if they want to stay at IIIT Guwahati hostel. This fee also includes mess fee. Do note that hostel rent is charged on a pro-rata basis. INR 5,000 are for one-time caution money that is refundable and INR 5,000 is for tuition fee every semester. So if you are availing hostel facility with mess, then your total fee will be INR 22,500 in the first semester. Later on, with hostel fee included, it will be INR 17,500. Without hostel fee, it will be 5,000 from second semester.
