My honest opinion and experience

Fees and Financial Aid:

My fee structure was normal per year it would cost around 1L - 1.2L including all the exam charges. But as every year passing by the fee structure is increasing which I think it is not worth it and the other fees such as transportation fees etc are also higher than expected. They try to charge the students whenever they get the chance .
