Fees and Financial Aid:

Fees is being paid in two different years per year. The fees is 14,000 that 14,000 fees for one year. This is not a semester course. It is a year course. So basically there will be only one exam throughout the year other than this fees there would be Exam fees. The exam will be according to your paper. That means how many paper you will have that many exam fees will be there it will be around 500 to 1000 per paper. So according to the number of papers you have, you can calculate your exam fees other than exam fees. You also have practical fees. You have to submit some amount of money for your practical exam, that will also depend upon the number of practicals, you'll have practical exams are also conducted once a year. So that means you have to pay the fees only once a year, this is a distance course, so, for writing exam, you need to go to the centre. If your exam is very far away from the centre, then you have to buy the tickets and then you have to rent room that will also cost you money if your house is very near to the centre. Then you are spendings will be limited, but if you belong to another city and you have to come to the different city for writing the exam, then you have to buy a flight ticket or a train ticket that will cost you money accordingly, so that would be the hidden cost in this course. Other than these for making assignments, you need to buy a three ruled papers that will also cost you some money and there will be a lot of assignments to write so buying pen and other stuff will also cost some money. Overall this course is not that expensive. Anyone with a normal financial background can opt for this course.
