Fees and Financial Aid:

The state government does not have any intention to determine the fee structures of private schools, education minister Bratya Basu made it clear on Tuesday. The fee regulatory commission, approved by the state, will merely monitor tuition fee hikes, look into complaints over raising fees, and check if government decisions are being followed by private schools.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The cost of study is exceptionally low with chances of opting for scholarships and Grants as it was a women's government college directly under the West Bengal government. Thus students of diverse backgrounds have the opportunity to study the subjects of their choices. There are campus job offers but these are low in comparison to other institutions.
