Heaven for those who knows their path for others who don't know what to do it's only a waste of time.

It's a central government funded college, so you can expect that the expenditure here is the minimal in the whole country. You will be able to complete your whole btech with in 80 thousand. And don't forget about the scholarships you can gain so many scholarships here.. it's almost like you can earn money while studying.

Guide for entrance exams of Aligarh Muslim University courses

The courses are available at affordable prices

The fees for the first year should be high around Rs 20k-25k and then it goes down according to year. For second year Rs 7800 For third year Rs 7610 For final year Rs 7840 There are basically two main scholarships UP and National scholarships and it will provide too much relaxation in fees. I have done one month internship at HTPS kashimpur Aligarh-202002.
