Sticker shock is real. For 2025, Allen Kota NEET fees sit roughly between ₹1.60-₹2.15 lakh for a standard classroom year before scholarships. That range swings based on your batch (XI two‑year, XII one‑year, or Dropper), scholarship rank, and whether you opt for premium micro-batches. If you’re budgeting for the full Kota year, expect tuition + living to land in the ₹3.0-₹4.5 lakh band unless big scholarships kick in.

• TL;DR: Most Allen Kota NEET classroom programs fall in ₹1.60-₹2.15 lakh for 2025 (tuition), with droppers on the higher side.
• Scholarships (TALLENTEX/ASAT/board marks) can slash 10-90% of tuition. Always calculate your net after scholarship.
• Hostel + mess in Kota: ₹9,000-₹18,000/month (basic to premium), plus setup and utilities.
• Test series and digital add-ons can add ₹6,000-₹15,000 if not bundled.
• Confirm the official fee PDF for your exact batch; fees change by session and center.

Latest Allen Kota NEET fees (2025): quick, course-wise view

I track coaching costs for families each season. Allen releases a fee brochure for every session (city + program). The numbers below mirror last session’s official ranges and current 2025 inquiries, so you can budget today and fine‑tune when your exact batch opens.

What about GST? Allen Kota’s brochure usually quotes fees inclusive of GST for classroom programs. Test series and some digital services often show GST separately at the time of billing (education services draw 18% GST per CBIC). Always read the exact line item on your proforma invoice.

Primary sources I rely on: Allen Career Institute Fee Structure Brochure (Kota Centre) for 2024-25, TALLENTEX and ASAT scholarship documents, and yearly center updates. For 2025-26, expect minor shifts until the new PDF is published for your batch window.

What shapes your final bill: the fee math that actually matters

Your “headline fee” is one thing; what you pay is another. Here’s the breakdown families miss in the rush.

• Tuition: The big piece. Varies by batch (XI 2‑year, XII one‑year, Dropper) and whether you pick premium or standard sections.
• Registration/Admission: A small one-time fee (₹3,000-₹10,000). Sometimes bundled.
• Study Material: Often included for classroom batches. If separate or upgraded, add ₹5,000-₹8,000.
• Digital Access: App/recorded support or extra modules can add ₹1,000-₹3,000 if unbundled.
• Test Series (AITS): Included in many classroom packages. If standalone, ₹9,000-₹12,000.
• GST: Classroom fees are usually inclusive. Test series and some digital items may show GST at checkout.
• Scholarship: The biggest swing factor. A 40% scholarship on tuition can save ₹60,000-₹80,000.
• Payment Mode: Lump-sum sometimes gets a small discount; installments may require post-dated cheques.

Quick formula (use this before you pay):

Net payable = Tuition - (Scholarship% × Tuition) + Registration + Any unbundled material/digital/test fees + Applicable GST on those extras

Example 1 (Dropper): Tuition ₹1,95,000, scholarship 30%, reg. ₹5,000. Material included. AITS included. Net = 1,95,000 - 58,500 + 5,000 = ₹1,41,500.

Example 2 (XII one‑year with add-ons): Tuition ₹1,80,000, scholarship 20%, reg. ₹5,000, AITS extra ₹10,000 + 18% GST (₹1,800). Net = 1,80,000 - 36,000 + 5,000 + 11,800 = ₹1,60,800.

Red flags to avoid:

• Assuming last year’s fee equals this year’s-fine for budgeting, risky for payment. Ask for the session-specific PDF.
• Forgetting GST on test series-small but still money.
• Missing scholarship proof deadlines-late uploads can drop your slab.
• Counting hostel+mess as part of Allen’s fee-coaching and living are billed separately.

Scholarships: where most savings come from (and how to win them)

Allen’s scholarship stack is real. The institute publishes clear slabs tied to tests and achievements. These are the usual routes:

• TALLENTEX: Allen’s flagship scholarship exam. Top ranks can get 50-90% tuition relief; lower slabs often 10-40%. Held yearly; results carry to admissions.
• ASAT (Allen Scholarship Admission Test): Frequent rounds through the year. Good option if you missed TALLENTEX. Slabs often mirror 10-60% ranges for most scorers, higher for toppers.
• Board Marks: 10th/11th/12th strong scores can fetch 10-25% (varies by session). Keep mark sheets ready.
• National Olympiads/NTSE/KVPY medalists: Historically higher slabs. Worth asking your counselor to check the current rulebook.
• Sibling/Existing Allen Student: Small loyalty scholarships in some sessions; rarely big, but every bit helps.

How to get your best slab:

1. Attempt TALLENTEX early. Use it to anchor your slab even before boards finish.
2. Take ASAT if TALLENTEX didn’t go as planned-your best score usually counts.
3. Carry documents: mark sheets, ID, category certificates if applicable. Scholarship is granted after document verification.
4. Ask if your batch has separate “premium batch” scholarship rules-sometimes they differ.

Scholarship math example:

You earned a 50% tuition scholarship on the Dropper batch. Tuition ₹2,00,000 → Pay ₹1,00,000 + registration ₹5,000 + any extras. If you also get a 10% “early registration” rebate, check if it applies on base or net; Allen’s brochures specify the order of application. Read those lines.

Proof you’ll need (keep originals + scans):

• Scholarship exam scorecard (TALLENTEX/ASAT)
• Board mark sheets (as per slab rule)
• Photo ID and recent photographs
• Category/achievement certificates, if claiming special slabs

Source notes: Scholarship slabs and eligibility are published in the Allen Scholarship Rulebook for each session and in TALLENTEX/ASAT notifications. Ask the Kota center for the 2025-26 booklet when you register or attend counseling.

Your Kota budget: tuition is half the story (hostel, mess, setup)

If you’re moving to Kota, your total spend = coaching + living. Here’s a practical planner families use with me.

Rule of thumb monthly: ₹10,000-₹18,000 for living, depending on your room type and food choices. Yearly living cost: ₹1.2-₹2.1 lakh. Add coaching net fee to get your all-in budget.

Budget example (Dropper with modest hostel):

• Coaching net fee after scholarship: ₹1,45,000
• Hostel+mess: ₹12,000 × 10 months = ₹1,20,000 (arrive July, finish April)
• Setup (bedding, utensils, deposits): ₹8,000-₹15,000
• Books/stationery: ₹5,000
• Buffer: ₹10,000

Total: ~₹2.9-₹3.0 lakh for the year.

Pro tips that save money in Kota:

• Walkability > shiny hostels. A 15‑minute daily walk beats ₹1,500/month on cabs.
• Shared tiffin can be cheaper and healthier than cafeteria food all year.
• Sign a clear hostel contract (refund, maintenance, electricity slabs). Read it like an exam question.
• Buy used desk/chair locally; sell back when you leave.

How to lock your fee, pay right, and avoid gotchas

If you want the exact figure, here’s the shortest path that works for students I guide.

1. Pick your program: XI Nurture (2‑year), XII Enthusiast (1‑year), or Leader (Dropper).
2. Take a scholarship test: TALLENTEX or ASAT-the better score usually wins the slab.
3. Ask for the Kota “Fee Structure 2025-26” PDF for your program. Read what’s included.
4. Compute your net on paper using the formula above. Don’t forget test series or digital add‑ons if not bundled.
5. Decide payment mode: lump-sum vs. installments. If installments, confirm dates and any late fee rule.
6. Carry documents to the center (or upload on the portal) to get your scholarship verified before paying.
7. Get a proforma invoice with line items. Pay only after checking inclusions and refund terms.

Refund basics to know before you swipe:

• Allen publishes a session-wise refund policy. Typically, a processing fee is deducted if you withdraw before classes start.
• After batch start, pro‑rata tuition for attended days + cost of issued materials are deducted.
• Refunds are time-bound (apply within X days). Check your brochure’s exact window.
• Keep payment receipts and the admission letter. That’s your proof in case of disputes.

Common pitfalls I see:

• Paying before scholarship is verified-your slab might not reflect on the receipt.
• Not reading the batch code-different codes have different fees and start dates.
• Skipping the test series thinking it’s optional-most toppers treat AITS like a second teacher.

Checklist: documents at admission

• Photo ID (student) + recent passport photos
• 10th/11th/12th mark sheets (as applicable)
• Scholarship proof (TALLENTEX/ASAT scorecards, achievements)
• Address proof for parent/guardian
• Payment instrument (UPI/card/cheque as allowed)

Mini‑FAQ

Are Allen Kota fees different from other cities? Yes. Fees change by city, infrastructure, and faculty pool. Kota often sets the reference price; metros and premium centers can be higher.

Does the fee include hostel? No. Coaching fee and living cost are separate. Some hostels offer tie‑ups with coaching schedules, but billing is independent.

Is GST included? Classroom fees in the Kota brochure are usually inclusive of GST. Test series/digital items may show GST at checkout. Read your invoice.

How much do premium/micro-batches cost? Anywhere from ₹10,000 to ₹40,000 over the base tuition, depending on batch size and faculty. Scholarships may differ-confirm in writing.

Can I shift batches later? Usually yes, subject to seat availability and policy. Fee differences are adjusted per rules. Batch changes mid-season can be hard in peak months.

Is there EMI? Allen typically offers installment plans (two parts or scheduled payments). Third‑party EMIs are rare. Ask the center for your session’s options.

Distance learning vs classroom-how big is the fee gap? Large. DLPD with materials + AITS often costs ₹14,000-₹28,000, but you miss daily classes and doubt counters. Decide based on your discipline and past performance.

Any extra discounts? Early registration or loyalty (ex‑Allen student/sibling) sometimes apply. Small amounts but worth asking.

Next steps / troubleshooting

• If you’re Class XI: Sit TALLENTEX first. Use the slab to plan a two‑year path and lock early-bird benefits.
• If you’re Class XII: Compare Enthusiast vs. a premium batch only if you can afford the +₹10-₹40k; otherwise, spend that on a better hostel and nutrition.
• If you’re a Dropper: Budget more aggressively for living. Your study day is longer-pick a quiet hostel and a mess with routine meals.
• Did the fee seem higher than this guide? Check if your quote is for a premium batch or a different center code. Ask for the standard batch code to compare.
• Late scholarship verification? Pay the standard fee only if you get a written promise of a fee adjustment credit once your slab is approved.

Bottom line: use the ranges here to set a realistic budget, then let the official Kota brochure and your scholarship result finalize the number. Once you’ve got the PDF and a proforma invoice, the math is simple-and you’ll avoid 90% of fee surprises.
