Fees structure of Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology [Exam fee, Accommodation and meals]
Exam fee
The examination fee is paid separately from the tuition fee, depending on the course you are taking.
On average, exam fees range between Kshs. 5,000 and Kshs. 10,000, while KNEC practical exams cost between Kshs. 2,500 and Kshs. 5,000.
KIST accommodation/hostels
If you wish to stay in the school’s hostels, please keep in mind that the hostel fee is Kshs. 6,200 per term.
The hostel fee, however, does not include meals, so budget separately for this.
Also, keep in mind that hostels are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and require full payment of tuition and other levies.
But, even after you have paid your tuition, you should inquire about the availability of the hostel rooms before making any hostel payments to the dean of students for availability and booking.
Catering/Meals
Remember that the accommodation fee does not include meals, so you will need to budget for them separately.
Fortunately, there are a variety of meals available in the KIST pay-as-you-eat (PAYE) cafeteria, so you will have a choice from the available meals.
Therefore, it is recommended that you have at least Kshs. 200 per day, which is an estimate for breakfast, lunch, and supper.
