2. How much is the CIWG registration fee?
All CIWG applicants must pay a mandatory, non-refundable US $300 registration fee at the time of application, which confirms participation in DASA counselling and is required regardless of whether a seat is eventually secured through the admission process.
3. How much must be paid with the CIWG application?
At application submission, CIWG students must pay ₹62,500 as first-semester tuition and US $300 as registration charges, both of which are compulsory upfront payments to be eligible for the DASA counselling and subsequent seat allotment process.
4. Can CIWG fees be paid entirely in INR?

6. Do CIWG benefits apply to NRIs living in the USA?

7. Is the CIWG fee lower than the standard DASA fee?
Yes, CIWG tuition is much lower than the Non-SAARC DASA fee of roughly US $4,000 per semester, making CIWG highly beneficial for Middle-East-based NRIs seeking engineering admission through DASA in leading Indian technical institutions.
8. Are hostel and campus charges included in CIWG tuition?
No, the ₹62,500 CIWG tuition covers only academic fees, while hostel accommodation, mess charges, library fees, caution deposits, and other institutional expenses must be paid separately according to each institute’s specific semester-wise fee structure.
9. Do all institutes follow the same CIWG fee structure?
Tuition under CIWG remains ₹62,500 per semester across institutes, but other fees differ, so students should review the latest fee circular of their allotted NIT, IIIT, CFTI, or SPA for accurate semester-wise total payment details.
10. Do CIWG students continue paying fees in USD after admission?
No, once seats are allotted, CIWG students typically pay further dues such as tuition balance, institutional fees, and hostel charges directly to the institute in INR, with only the initial US $300 registration fee usually paid in dollars.
