Our profile of IIT Goa
IIT Goa was established in 2016. It runs from a transit campus at Goa Engineering College, Farmagudi, Ponda. It offers 165 JoSAA seats in 2026, the smallest intake of all IITs in this batch. It does not appear in the NIRF 2025 Overall or Engineering rank lists.Who it suits
Our analysis: IIT Goa suits you if you want a very small IIT and a focused course. It has just four branches: CSE (45 seats), Electrical (45), Mechanical (45) and Mathematics and Computing (30). With so few seats, closing ranks can change sharply from round to round.What these numbers mean
Tuition depends on your slab. It is ₹1,00,000 a semester above ₹5 lakh family income and ₹33,333 between ₹1 lakh and ₹5 lakh. It is nil below ₹1 lakh or for SC, ST and PwD students. The first-semester grand total in the top slab is ₹1,28,642. Hostel items include seat rent of ₹500, electricity and water of ₹3,500, hostel establishment of ₹2,000 and a hostel subsidy contribution of ₹6,000. NIRF 2026 data (from iitgoa.ac.in) shows 110 of 140 four-year graduates placed in 2024-25, at a median of ₹12.67 lakh. Sponsored research was ₹4.18 crore in FY 2024-25. That is small, which is normal for a young institute still on a temporary campus. Research facilities include a Plasma Research and High Voltage Laboratory.Courses and seats
