Hyderabad: The Telangana government has fixed the fee structure for undergraduate engineering courses in private unaided professional institutions across the state.
Higher Education Secretary Yogita Rana issued Government Order No. 06 confirming the revised structure. The new college fees will apply from the 2025–26 academic year to 2027–28.
The government took the decision after reviewing recommendations from the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC). The order clarified that the approved tuition amount does not include admission charges or other special fees.
According to the government notification, the fee levels vary among institutions based on infrastructure, faculty strength and other facilities assessed by the committee.
College fees fixed for top engineering institutes
According to the list released by the government, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT) will charge ₹1,83,000 per year.
Similarly, Vasavi College of Engineering (VASV) will collect ₹1,75,000 annually. The government also fixed ₹1,67,000 as the yearly amount for Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology (MGIT).
Meanwhile, CVR College of Engineering (CVR) will charge ₹1,63,000 per year. The annual fee at VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology (VJEC) stands at ₹1,59,600.
In addition, B. V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRI) will charge ₹1,46,600 annually.
At the same time, the government fixed ₹45,000 as the minimum annual tuition amount for several other engineering colleges across the state.
The government also issued guidelines on fee collection. Accordingly, colleges must not collect capitation fees or donations beyond the approved amount.
Institutions may collect the annual tuition either in a single payment or through instalments in advance. However, the government warned colleges against violating these rules.
Officials determined the structure based on details submitted by institutions. However, if inspections later detect false information, authorities may revise the approved fees and initiate legal action.
