For the first sem after everything that includes tuition fees, admission fees, registration fees, development fees, caution fees it's about 63 Thousand for everyone. And the sem wise fee is 45 thousand per semester. We can apply for student loan, and scholarships. The institute is pretty good like the surroundings, nature, faculties and of course the hostel facilities. Hostel caution fee is 8000 and hostel fee is 3000 for rent which is pretty good when comparing the room. Each room has accommodation for about 3 persons. There's bed, table, chair and almirah for a person. And food is average fee is 2750. Hostel is located inside the campus. Which is only for girls. There's no hostel provided for boys. But there are so many hostel outside and near to the institute. Faculties are really good. They provide us so many opportunities. And also they are very supportive. They realky care for each student which makes our studies better. Even principle knows about everyone. Overall its very good

Fees and Financial Aid:

Regarding the fees for the 2-year course, it is 2,50,000 (2,00,000 for program fees and 50,000 for Placement and value-added training) and they are giving false promises at the beginning for placements and training. For the 2 years course, we got only one training program and no placements yet. We are in a pathetic situation and living in the middle of nowhere. There is no campus placement, it's just a piece of the promise we will get at the time of admission. The only advantage I get from the college was the 10000/installment fee reduction for the KMAT score which is above 200.
