Government Polytechnic Latehar Polytechnic Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

In my college Government Polytechnic Latehar, the fee structure is actually very low compared to many other diploma colleges and that is one of the main reasons many students from nearby districts choose this institute. Our per semester fees mostly comes around 3200 to 3500 only, which includes the basic tuition fee of around 2400, then registration fee between 300 to 350, ID card around 50 rupees, and some small charges like caution money or special fees which is usually 200–200 kinds. So if we see it for the whole year, the total amount we pay is roughly 6 to 7 thousand only, which is honestly affordable for most students. For the entire 3-year diploma course the full fee comes around 18 to 20 thousand, depending on the semester charges and some minor variations, but overall it stays in the same range without any sudden increase. Even seniors from the older batches told us that fees were almost similar during their time also, so it’s clear that the college does not raise the fees every year like private institutes do. In my college the fees are almost the same for General and OBC category students, no big difference is there for them. But SC/ST category students get a good amount of scholarship through the e-Kalyan Jharkhand portal, so their final cost becomes very low. Some of my batchmates who are from SC/ST category said they get around 7 to 8 thousand scholarship per year, so in many cases their whole yearly fees gets covered and they basically end up paying almost nothing from their side, which is a huge help for them and their families. Our college doesn’t provide any special or separate scholarship scheme of its own, everything mainly works through the state government scholarship system only.

2850 for general category 1600 for obc category 450 for sc and st 200 for physical disabled There is different fee structure for everyone according to their category. As this college comes under the Jharkhand university of technology which is a government institution thats why its fee is very less as you have to pay hostel fee and tution fee every year and examination fee every semester

Yes, there is the system of scholarship for those students who had done well in their semester exams as well as the govt of Jharkhand also offers the scholarship to those students whose family income are not properly greater so, the board decided to give the scholarship to SC and ST students mostly OBC students also find the scholarship from the college.
