Although they provide with very good world-class facilities, the fee is too high, as an estimate, it is around 17lacks for B.tech(4 years) including tuition and hostel.Apart from all these if you have no choice left, and are willing to spend that much amount then, you should surely pursue this institute as it is not something you will repent in the near future.Hope this helps.Regards
