The cost of achieving a mechanical engineering diploma varies; it depends upon the type of institution, public or private institution, the type of college that one is joined to, or the facilities used. Government institutions are likely to have cheap fees, running from ₹ 10,000 to ₹50,000. Private institutions also charge higher fees starting from ₹ 50,000 to ₹ 1, 50, 000 per annum.
On top of that, some very prominent private colleges or universities may charge much higher because they have good infrastructure, industry exposure, or placement assistance. Financial aid also plays an important role in determining the cost that the students have to bear in the form of scholarships, subsidies, or loan options. These facts must be kept in mind while choosing the right institution for achieving the quality of education with the lowest affordability.
