College Life In a Nutshell

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fee structure is well-balanced, every 6 months we have our semester, so for each semester the fee is 4100, which is moderate. I have not yet graduated, so I don't have much idea about the scholarship and campusing program but as far as I have heard from my seniors, these things are not up to the mark.

If you looking for a decent college than this is good to go

The fees are comparatively decent. It is affordable. It's all around 3500 to 4500 per semester. All the changes in the fee structure depending on the situation such as the Covid pandemic. During the years of Covid, our college fees were decreased as most of the classes during that time were held online. There is also some financial assistance for students who are financially unstable. For the full procedure of the process, they must visit the college office.

From my view.. it's recommended

The fee for my course is affordable which is around 3500-4500 which is pretty decent. The facilities provided by the college under this are average I would say but still it's quite decent. Apart from the fee, there are no such extra charges however the examination form has to be paid which goes to the university which is around 350-400.

The fees for my course is at present 4200 while it ranges from 3500-4500 which varies. During lockdown most of the classes were held online on Google meet so during that time the fees was something around 3,200 to 3,500 which is indeed affordable in comparison to other colleges. There are also some financial assistance available for the financially backward students or who can't afford to pay the full fees.

As the college is under the government, the fee structure is quite affordable ranging from 3500-to 4500 not more than that. The fees went down during the pandemic and the classes were held mostly on online mode. The students with financial instability also have some scholarship schemes. The students under this category can visit the college office with the required documents and avail the benefits.

The fees structure is a very decent and affordable fit for students.

Student Snaps:

The fees structure is decent and affordable. The fee for my course is around 4,300 per semester which sometimes differs accordingly. For now, due to the pandemic situation, the fee is 3,400. Some scholarship schemes are also there for the students who are not able to afford their expenses. I haven't received any job for now through college. Although the placement applications are soon going to start in our college and I will prepare myself for that.

College Review

The fees structure is quite decent and affordable. The fees for my course were 4200 and during the lockdown, it came to 3500 because of the college being closed. There are also some scholarship policies for students from low financial backgrounds for which they have to contact the college office. I didn't got a job yet as i have just given my 4th-semester exam.

My college my pride

The cost is reasonable. It's not too high and not that low. The fees hike is also very minimal. The college charges us approximately 4k per semester which is quite reasonable. The college has some scholarship schemes. Many students applied for it and they also got the beneficiaries. I didn't get the job yet as it is my 2nd year and I still haven't applied for anything.
