In terms of fees, the structure varies: general category students pay around ‚Ç?78,000 per semester, while SC/ST students pay approximately ‚Ç?10,140. Hostel residents pay a semester fee of ‚Ç?41,884, inclusive of tuition and other expenses.

For those not opting for hostel accommodation, the annual fee is about ‚Ç?65,000.

Dislikes

The campus, it needs renovation and modification as classrooms are not worth the fees we pay.

Having said, The fees structure justifies some facilities, while some not. Per semester the fees is around 45-50k for day scholars, and 65k+ for the hostellers. The tution fees remains the same for all students, except for the students who are hostellers, as mentioned before. There are special reservations for the SC/ST students, and according to my information, the fees for them is only 5k. The scholarships are offered on the basis of academic merit, and for the sports merit, we have to complete the many levels, like attaining, college color and college merit, then we can apply for university merit. There are scarce scholarships for sportspersons, while the academic merit, there are two scholarships offered, once in 1st year, and other one in 3rd year. Other scholarships are rewarded on the basis of economic status, Gender specifications and other societal factors.

Hello,I am Gurleen.Recently studied in pau ludhian. My course is btech food technology and my department is food science.The name of my college is college of agriculture. I've paid Rs:150000 for course fees which includes tution fees,lab fees,development fees,library fees and other compulsary charges. Am still live in hostel for which I've pay Rs:10170 for a semester. Messs fees would be paid month by month. There are so many scholarships which our university provide us .We are able to get these scholarships with our educational skills and proper activity in our other courses like NSO,NSS,NCC. Our university is in peaceful area.According to me its a best place for those students who loves to avoid noise. It is evergreen university. Maintenance of university is very good as compared to others. There is proper arrangements of guidance material. Our university including its own market also where we get everything what we need.There is no politics trend in our university. It is best suited university for me.
