One of the first questions every parent asks when exploring coaching options in Delhi is: how much is this actually going to cost? The honest answer is that pricing varies wildly — from ₹800 per month for a local school tutor in Uttam Nagar to ₹1,80,000 per year for a branded IIT JEE institute in Karol Bagh. This guide breaks down realistic fee ranges across every major stream so you can plan your budget accurately, and highlights the hidden costs that most centres do not mention upfront.
Important: This guide covers offline coaching fees in Delhi/NCR as of 2026. Online coaching fees are typically 30–50% lower for equivalent programmes.
Fee Breakdown by Stream and Exam
NEET / IIT JEE (Class 11 & 12 — 2 Year Programme)
Competitive exam coaching is the most expensive category. Expect to pay:
- ₹80,000 to ₹1,20,000 per year at mid-size coaching institutes (Rohini, Pitampura, Dwarka)
- ₹1,20,000 to ₹1,80,000 per year at premium or branded institutes in Karol Bagh or Lajpat Nagar
- ₹40,000 to ₹70,000 per year for individual subject tutors (Physics/Chemistry/Bio each separate)
Most centres offer a 2-year package discount. Always ask for the package rate.
CUET Preparation (Crash Course — 3 to 6 Months)
- ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 for a 3-month subject-specific crash course
- ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 for a comprehensive 6-month multi-subject CUET programme
Most CUET centres include mock test series in the fee — confirm this before enrolling.
CA Foundation (4-Month Preparation)
- ₹30,000 to ₹45,000 for a standard CA Foundation programme
- ₹45,000 to ₹60,000 for premium centres with video recordings and extra doubt sessions
Some centres charge separately for study materials (₹2,000–₹5,000 extra).
Class 9–10 CBSE School Tuition
- ₹800 to ₹1,500 per month per subject at local tutors (Shahdara, Uttam Nagar, Janakpuri)
- ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 per month per subject at structured coaching centres
- ₹3,500 to ₹6,000 per month for all-subject packages at premium schools-adjacent centres
Class 11–12 Commerce (Accounts, Economics, Business Studies)
- ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 per month per subject at individual tutors
- ₹4,000 to ₹9,000 per month for full Commerce packages at centres
Hidden Costs Parents Often Miss
The headline fee is rarely the full picture. Before signing the admission form, ask specifically about:
- Study Materials: Many centres charge ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 extra for printed study modules, booklets, and practice papers. Ask if this is included in the quoted fee.
- Registration and Admission Test Fees: Several institutes charge a one-time registration fee of ₹500 to ₹2,000.
- Test Series Charges: Some centres bundle mock test series in; others charge ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 separately.
- Travel and Commute Costs: A student commuting from Dwarka to Karol Bagh may spend ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 per month on transport. Choosing a centre closer to home can be much more economical.
Why More Expensive Does Not Mean Better
A ₹1,50,000/year coaching centre with batches of 80 students is a worse investment than a ₹60,000/year centre with 20 students and an accessible teacher. When comparing, prioritize:
- Batch size — under 30 students is the benchmark for meaningful doubt resolution.
- Teacher availability — can the student access the teacher outside class hours for doubts?
- Results transparency — ask for verifiable results, not posters with isolated toppers.
- Demo class quality — always attend a free demo before committing.
