Course-wise Fees Across Nine Constituent Institutes (compiled from aggregator sources — verify officially)
SOA University admissions for 2026 are open across Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral programmes at its nine constituent institutes in Bhubaneswar. Below is a breakdown of SOA fees 2026, based on aggregator disclosures. SOA's fee figures disagree more sharply between sources than almost any other university in this series, particularly for MBBS, where the spread between sources exceeds ₹75 lakh — treat every number here as a starting point for verification, not a final figure.
What's New at SOA Admissions 2026
- SAAT (Siksha 'O' Anusandhan Admission Test) continues as the university's primary entrance route for UG and PG admission across most of its nine constituent institutes.
- B.Tech admission continues to also accept JEE Main scores as an alternative to SAAT.
- MBBS and BDS admission continues via NEET UG, subject to the applicable NEET cut-off rank and the university's own category-wise seat matrix.
SOA Fee Structure 2026: Overview
SOA's fee structure varies substantially by constituent institute and programme. B.Tech total fees are most commonly cited around ₹9.16 lakh for the 4-year programme, though sources disagree sharply, with figures ranging up to ₹13.4 lakh for some specialisations. MBBS fees show the widest disagreement of any programme in this guide, ranging from ₹23.31 lakh to ₹99.75 lakh depending on the source.

SOA Programme-wise Fee Breakdown 2026
The SOA fee breakdown below covers tuition for the major programmes across its constituent institutes, as reported by aggregator sources.
The total tuition fee for B.Tech at ITER (SOA's engineering institute) is most commonly cited around ₹9.16 lakh for the full 4-year programme (Collegedunia, GetMyUni), uniform across most branches. However, a separate, more detailed source cites a branch-dependent range of ₹9.4–13.4 lakh, with 'Core Engineering' branches at the lower end and 'Emerging Areas in Computing' (AI/ML, Cyber Security, Data Science) at the upper end. A third source cites a much lower ₹4.8–5 lakh specifically for CSE/IT/AI-ML, and a fourth, older source cites ₹11.80 lakh specifically for B.Tech Computer Science and Information Technology. These figures do not reconcile and should be checked against the current official fee schedule.
*Amounts shown are aggregator-reported estimates that disagree with each other; confirm the exact current-cycle figure officially.
MBBS fee figures for SOA disagree more sharply than any other programme in this guide — one source cites a total of ₹23,31,000 for the full 5.5-year programme, while two other sources cite ₹98,78,000 and ₹99,75,000 respectively. This is a discrepancy of more than ₹75 lakh between the lowest and highest figures, which could reflect a data error in one or more sources, or genuinely different fee categories (e.g. merit-quota vs management/NRI-quota seats) that were not clearly distinguished in the reporting. Given the stakes involved for a prospective medical student and their family, this figure absolutely must be confirmed directly with the Institute of Medical Sciences before any financial decision is made.
*Figures disagree by more than ₹75 lakh across sources; do not rely on any single figure without official confirmation.
BDS, offered through the Institute of Dental Sciences, is reported at a total of approximately ₹27,50,000 for the full 5-year programme by one source. This figure was not independently cross-verified against a second source during research for this guide.
*Single-source figure; confirm officially.
M.Tech (2 years) is reported at a total of approximately ₹2,56,000 by one source, and MCA (3 years) at approximately ₹3,84,000 by the same source. These figures were not independently cross-verified against a second source during research for this guide.
*Single-source figures; confirm officially.
M.Pharm (2 years) is reported at a total of approximately ₹2,76,000 by one source. This figure was not independently cross-verified against a second source during research for this guide.
