Birla Institute of Technology — Fees & Admission 2026

Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra is the main Mesra campus in Ranchi and a UGC-recognised deemed-to-be university (status granted in 1986); it is not an affiliated-college case. The official 2026 CSAB profile publishes ten main-campus B.Tech branches and their counselling totals, which are seat-matrix figures and not merged with AICTE intake. The official BIT 2025-26 AICTE EoA identifies Permanent ID 1-15782701 and Application ID 1-44640378024, but a target-year 2026-27 EoA course table/intake was not available in the retrieved official report; therefore B.Tech sanctioned_intake is reported from CSAB 2026 and approval reference is left null. BIT's 2026 M.Tech brochure lists the Mesra specialisations, but no target-year sanctioned intake was published in the retrieved sources, so those rows have null intake. NBA's authoritative published material shows, at minimum, Electrical & Electronics, Electronics & Communication, and Mechanical Engineering accredited for three years from 01-Jul-2024; this is noted rather than treated as programme approval. Integrated M.Sc. programmes in Mathematics and Computing, Physics, and Quantitative Economics & Data Science are published in the CSAB profile but are excluded because they are science programmes rather than the requested engineering catalogue. Off-campus Deoghar, Patna, Jaipur, Lalpur and Noida programmes are excluded.

Domestic B.Tech admission at the Mesra main campus is based on JEE Main rank through JoSAA/CSAB. NRI/OCI/FN applicants apply online directly to BIT Mesra and are selected for B.Tech on Class XII marks, with the 2026 brochure stating a minimum 60% average in Classes X, XI and XII. M.Tech admission is through GATE or the institute's 2026 screening/selection process.

JoSAA/CSAB seat matrix is for the All India pool and includes female-supernumerary seats in the published totals; NRI/OCI/FN admission is a separate direct-admission route.

Official 2026-27 fee schedule is published. BIT Mesra is a UGC-listed Institution Deemed to be University; its own affiliating body is printed in the 2026-27 AICTE EoA as Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, so no separate external affiliating university applies. AICTE EoA 2026-27: Application Id 1-46284653476; Permanent Id 1-15782701; institution type Institution Deemed to be University (Pvt); address Mesra, Ranchi 835215.

The official fee PDF states hostel mess is approximately Rs.3,500–4,000 per month, plus refundable hostel caution money Rs.5,000 and semester mess advance; the schema cannot represent a range, so the monthly amount is left null. Main-campus residential information states hostel residence is mandatory and identifies 11 boys' and 3 girls' hostels. No separate official 2026-27 state counselling fee schedule, education-loan tie-up, service bond, or published refund rules beyond reference to a separate notice was identified.
