A deep dive into the world of KM School of Marine Engineering

I have gotten OBC All India Merit seat since I am Latin Catholic christian but the fees are the same as all All India Merit seats. The fees are 3 lakhs per year not including mess fees. The message fees per month is around 4000 rupees. Those who are hindu OBC have almost no fees a year, like around 40,000 a year and those OBC students also get Egrants scholarship since they are Hindu OBC Since I am Christian OBC, I will not get any feedback lowering or scholarships. Since my field is male dominated, female students get scholarships to encourage more women into this field. State merit seats have to pay around 2 lakhs a year also excluding mess fees and there mess fees is also 4000 a month

All u need to know about Cochin university

yeah actually the fees varies based on the type of seat u r allocated in the college, there are three types of seats based on my knowledge State merit seats, all india merit seats, NRI quota seats. State merit seats have the least fees, they need to pay approx 260000, varying upto 30000 per sem. This sem fee include the complete tution fee, and all other extra fee charges of library fee, lab fee, etc etc. For all india merit seats it will be upto 50k per sem

All you need to know about Cochin University

The fee structure while joining the course said total of rupees 48900 per semester and there is a caution deposit of rupees 1500 approximately while joining but this might vary. And at present this might have increased . The university is increasing the semester fee bt 3 percentage every year (this is legally permissible). Apart from this we are asked to pay certain amount as PTA fee at the joining time. Also alumni fee is mandatory while leaving the college. The exams fees and other miscellaneous fees are included in the semester fee. The value of money is there for the course. Even though it is little over the price comparing other kerala government colleges
