The Master of Arts in Sociology at the Central University of Punjab requires applicants to be graduates from recognized universities. Admission is primarily based on CUET scores, following an online application process. The application fee is 500 INR, and key documents like SSC, HSC, graduation, and category certificates are needed. The course is structured with a first-semester academic fee of 12,875 INR and a second-semester fee of 4,855 INR. Hostel fees are 8,400 INR per semester, plus a 5,000 INR security deposit.

Mess costs vary between 2,400 and 2,700 INR. Scholarships such as the National Scholarship Portal offer 20,000 INR, while specific scholarships like E-Grantz and Vidya Samunnathi are available for eligible students. Additionally, OBC students' tuition fees for the first semester are 8,500 INR, with SC/ST students paying 2,400 INR, decreasing in later semesters. Students can seek state scholarships and financial aid, including an earn-while-you-learn scheme. However, the university does not offer direct campus placements or internships for sociology students, who must independently find internship opportunities as part of their curriculum.

The admission process could improve with extended fee payment time and clearer guidelines.

Honesty

In here there is no that much fee structure. Comparativly in this college provided affordable fees. Including the cost of education, tuition fees, service The complete cost of your education, including tuition, service fees, and other compulsory charges is normal and reasonable. There are some scholarship available like nsp for 20000/ and egrand for 10000
