Fees and Financial Aid:

Fees are nominal. It takes about 4 lakh in the whole curriculum. And 90 or more thousand per year. Scholarships are provided only for Punjab students because the college is situated in Punjab. And for the other state, they come with his parent's rupees.

There are some scholarship schemes like materic based and some are fee waiver and some are in college for those students who came for some categories. If taking about loan then there is nothing like that. But Students and teachers are of helpful nature they help students with money and even college give them some extention in depositing there fee.
