Course-wise Fees, Hostel Charges, Payment Mode & Refund Policy (compiled from aggregator sources — verify officially, given the unusually wide disagreement documented for this university)
Sathyabama admissions for 2026 are open across Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral programmes at the Jeppiaar Nagar campus. Below is a breakdown of Sathyabama fees 2026, based on aggregator disclosures that disagree with each other more sharply for this university than for any other institution covered in this guide series — several programmes show a 5-10x spread between the lowest and highest reported figure.

Sathyabama Fee Structure 2026: Overview
Sathyabama fees include tuition, hostel and mess charges, and other applicable costs. Unlike most other universities in this guide series, Sathyabama's fee figures for several named programmes (MBA, BBA, B.Com, M.Sc.) do not converge to a reasonably narrow range across sources — the spread is wide enough (5-10x on some programmes) that this guide treats direct, official verification as essential rather than optional.
Sathyabama's application fee is consistently reported at ₹1,000 (plus applicable transaction charges) for UG and PG courses, and ₹2,000 for PhD applications — one of the more reliably-agreed figures found for this university.
Sathyabama Course-wise Tuition Fees 2026 (aggregator-reported — wide disagreement flagged)
| Course | Total Tuition Fees |
|---|---|
| B.E. / B.Tech (all branches) (16+ specialisations) | ₹6 L – 14.6 L |
| B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering (1) | ₹12.20 L – 14.60 L (the most internally-consistent B.Tech figure) |
| MBA (4 Courses) | ₹90,000 – ₹8.1 L (sources conflict sharply) |
| BBA / B.Com (2+3 Courses) | ₹60,000 – ₹5.70 L (sources conflict sharply) |

*Fees stated above are for the entire duration of the respective courses (or as otherwise noted), compiled from aggregator sources, and are indicative only. Sathyabama showed the widest fee-figure disagreement of any institution covered in this guide series — treat every range above as a starting point for direct verification, not a final answer.
Sathyabama Programme-wise Fee Breakdown 2026
The Sathyabama fee breakdown below covers tuition and other charges for the major programmes, as reported by aggregator sources — read alongside the caveat above about source disagreement, which is unusually severe for this specific university.
B.Tech fees at Sathyabama range from roughly ₹6 lakh to ₹14.6 lakh across sources and specialisations, with Computer Science & Engineering specifically showing the most internally-consistent figure found for this university: ₹12.20 lakh (one source) to ₹14.60 lakh (another) for the full 4-year programme. Separately, annual per-year figures of ₹1.50-2.45 lakh appear on other pages, which do not cleanly reconcile with the total-programme figures above — flagged rather than resolved.
*Amounts shown are for the entire 4-year programme duration and are aggregator-reported estimates; confirm the exact figure officially.
MBA fees at Sathyabama show the widest disagreement of any programme in this guide series — reported figures range from ₹90,000 total (two independent sources) to ₹3.80 lakh (a third source) to ₹8.1 lakh (a fourth source) for what is described as the same 2-year programme. This guide cannot resolve this discrepancy and strongly recommends requesting a written fee quote directly from the Sathyabama School of Management before enrolling.
*No reliable aggregator consensus exists for this programme; confirm directly with the admissions office.
Both BBA and B.Com show a similarly wide spread: ₹60,000 total (two sources) versus ₹5.70 lakh (a third source) for what is described as the same 3-year programme — nearly a 10x difference.
*No reliable aggregator consensus exists for these programmes; confirm directly with the admissions office.
B.Sc. fees are reported at ₹2.03-4.55 lakh by one source and ₹5.70 lakh by another, for the 3-year programme across 19-20+ specialisations.
*Amounts shown are for the entire 3-year programme duration and are aggregator-reported estimates.
BDS (Bachelor of Dental Science) is reported at approximately ₹9.50 lakh for the 5-year programme by one source — this figure was not independently cross-checked against a second source in the research for this guide.
*Amounts shown are for the entire 5-year programme duration and are a single-source estimate only.
Sathyabama Hostel Fees 2026
One source itemises an annual hostel fee of ₹85,000 and a separate mess/food fee of ₹45,000, for a combined annual accommodation cost of roughly ₹1.30 lakh in addition to tuition. This figure was not cross-checked against a second source and should be confirmed directly with the university.
