Hello aspirant,
That’s a great choice! Hostel fees for Mechanical Engineering students can vary depending on the institute, location, and type of accommodation (shared or single, AC or non-AC). In most engineering colleges, hostel fees range from 30,000 to 1,20,000 per year, including mess charges.

Many colleges do allow installment payments, especially private institutions. Generally, the fee is split into two installments—one at the time of admission and the second halfway through the academic year. For example, if the hostel fee is 80,000 per year, you might pay 40,000 initially and 40,000 later.

However, this option depends on the college’s policies, so it’s best to confirm with the admission or hostel office of your chosen college.
