YCMOU Course & Fees FAQs
Ques. If I join a 3-year UG programme (e.g., BA/BCom) at YCMOU, how much will I realistically pay, and do I need to budget for more than the listed tuition fee?
Ans. The tuition-fee range for most of YCMOU's undergraduate programmes is relatively inexpensive, with the BA fee estimated around INR 7,500 - INR 11,100 for the full programme in certain cases. The official listings also show the UG fees ranging from around INR 1,900 up to 1.3 lakh depending on the discipline.

There can be variability in fees by course and specialization. Review the detailed fee schedule for your program.
Ques. Since YCMOU is an open university/distance-mode provider, are the fees throughout the programme fixed per year, or is there scope of changes/increments? And what should I keep in mind?

For the 2025-26 session, tuition fees are estimated to be between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 80,000 depending on the program chosen. However, because the fees are subject to change each year, students should be aware that there are other fees related to study centers, materials and practicals. The students should also budget for anticipated fee increases and check the program-specific detailed fee sheet.
