FAQ's
What does Pune IAT cost?
The institute's own fee page currently renders without its fee table, so no first-party figure is available. Third-party listings put the B.Sc. at around Rs.1,60,000 and the diploma route at around Rs.2,70,000, excluding examination and application fees. Ask for a written fee schedule covering tuition, the MRO practical component, examination fees and hostel before committing.
