As of October 15, 2025, specific fee details for the 2026 academic year are not yet available on the official GAT website, including the provided pages for undergraduate programs and postgraduate programs. These pages focus on program descriptions, eligibility, curriculum, and facilities but do not include fee information. Fees for technical education in Karnataka are regulated by authorities like the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) and AICTE, with updates typically announced in late 2025 or early 2026 during counseling periods. Annual adjustments are usually minimal (5-10% inflation-linked).
Based on the most recent confirmed data for the 2025-2026 session (sourced from official VTU/KEA notifications and GAT's prior disclosures), here is the expected fee structure.
