Fee waivers cut this a lot
At IITs and NITs, tuition is fully or partially waived for many students: full waiver for family income below ~₹1 lakh, two-thirds waiver for ~₹1–5 lakh (IITs), and SC/ST/PwD students get major concessions. Scholarships and education loans cover the rest for most families.
