Reviewing CNLU.

Fees and Financial Aid:

Chanakya National Law University is currently a good place to pursue a law degree from. The quality of teachers and facilities available is increasing with the new administration in place. The overall fee structure is increasing every year, however, it is still less when compared to other NLUs in the country. The infrastructure available and the location of the campus amidst the city make it easier to pursue the degree. For my year, the overall fees was 207450, with the incoming batches, the fees will increase. This includes the hostel fees, mess fees, tuition fees, cultural fees, development charge, infrastructure development charge, and student welfare fund. For students not opting for hostels, the fees would be comparatively less. There are a host of scholarships available. Through the portal of National Scholarship Portal, one can apply for different scholarships. There are other state-based scholarships as well. Seniors are very encouraging and helpful in guiding juniors when it comes to scholarships. Most of the scholarships are based on the annual family income of the student.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The tution fee currently is roughly 2Lac per year. It includes the mess and hostel fee. Although you need to pay extra for services like AC or cooler in rooms. The fee structure is not constant, it keeps changing amd almost every year, there is fee hike, sometimes in name of infrastructure, sometimes electricity etc. University doesn't provide any financial aid or scholarship to students, although the central and state government provides some scholarships to students. The students are reimbursed the cost of travelling and registration if the qualify any competition like moots, debates or sports.

CNLU: worth it or not

Fees and Financial Aid:

Currently, the University charges approx 2.5 lakh per year for the five year integrated course which cover all the cost including mess and hostel charges. The increase in fee mainly depends upon mess charges which keep changing as required. There are numbers of scholarship provided itself by the university. But, mainly the students can avail scholarship through PM Scholarship and the students who have given their 12 examination from Bihar can avail loan from Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme.
