Pondicherry University MSW : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

For each semester there are seperate amounts to be paid as tuition fees. For the first semester it's about 20000 and for the second and fourth semester fees is around 3500. The tuition fees for the third semester is around 9700 rupees. There will be considerable increase in tuition fees for each year which is atmost 1000 rupees. For those who seek hostel facility has to pay mess fees and hostel accomodation fees. For each semester, the hostel accomodation fees is around 700 and the mess fees is for a day is 75 rupees which is paid as a sum for the whole semester. The caution deposits are included in both mess and semester fees which is returned when the student completes the course. Various scholarships provided by both Central and State governments are available for the students based on eligibility such as Egrants, Central sector scholarship etc. Campus placement is provided for the students of other departments such as MBA. But no campus placement for Social work students.

The fee is subsidised but still a substantial amount of 23000 per year. The biggest expense however is the mess, which is compulsory to avail if one wants hostel facilities. This is an absurd rule since the quality of the mess is terrible.

For girls there is no hostel fee. The academic fee for one semester is 20,542/- which should be paid at the time of admission. The 2nd semester fees was 3200/- for fourth semester it is 11200/- and for fourth semester it is 3200/-. The department provides scholarship based on merits after the semester exams for the first 10 Students who scored high on the exams.

MSW is an interesting course with a human values imbedded in itself. I recommend this course to individuals whose interest is to restore humanity in this modern self-centre world. The department of MSW includes fieldwork and internship to various institutions based on one's specialisation. The students and faculties shared warm relationships fitting well for teaching-learning experiences.
