Fees and Financial Aid:

In the beginning I submitted around INR 12,000/- which included the first semester fees and admission fess. The fees for the entire course is divided semester wise. For each semester again it is divided subject wise, I took 5 subjects in the first semester, each subject fees is INR 1,800/- so the total is INR 9,000/- . And same goes on for the other semesters as well depending on the number of subjects the total fees will vary. Apart from the subject fees, INR 150/- exam fees is also there for each subject. So overall you can say approximately INR 60,000-75,000/- fees will be paid for thr entire degree. Now talking about the opportunities for scholarship or financial assistance, there is no such option available.
