Results are announced in September after the June exam. The department boasts highly qualified and supportive faculty, maintaining a 40:100 faculty-to-student ratio. The 2-year program is divided into two semesters annually, with a total fee of 100,000 INR, payable in two 50,000 INR installments each year.
