IIT Bombay offers significant fee waivers to ensure accessibility for deserving students. SC, ST, and PwD category students are fully exempted from tuition fees. Beyond category-based waivers, financial assistance is also available based on parental income. This support helps ease the financial burden for many families, making an IIT Bombay education more attainable.

It's crucial to remember that tuition fee waivers do not extend to cover hostel, mess, or other associated charges. Students must budget for these separately.

While the detailed breakdown above focuses on undergraduate programs, IIT Bombay also outlines fees for its postgraduate and other specialized courses. For the 2026-28 batch, the two-year MBA program has an academic fee of ₹15,55,800 for General/EWS/OBC-NCL candidates. Fees for M.Tech, M.Sc, M.Des, and MPP programs vary depending on the specific course and admission category. Students are advised to check the official IIT Bombay admissions portal for precise details relevant to their chosen program.

Aspiring students should be aware that while the first-semester fees are clearly defined, IIT Bombay reserves the right to revise fees for subsequent semesters. Therefore, the total four-year B.Tech fee cannot be simply calculated by multiplying the first-semester amount. The initial payment includes several one-time fees and deposits, which are not recurring. This means later semester payments will differ. For instance, the 2025 batch pays ₹1,07,750 for the Autumn 2026-27 semester, which is different from the new batch's first-semester payment. For dual-degree students, a different tuition rule applies from the ninth semester onwards, particularly for those undertaking their final-year project.
