Fees and Financial Aid:

The fees is completely based on the selected course. It is mostly affordable for all category of students, usually our college instructs for yearly full payment but if there is any request from students side they will help us to pay the fees by parts. Scholarship also provided for economically weaker category students and one thing i have noticed which too good, that The American college offers part time jobs for students within the college campus, They help students by providing lunch schemes and part time paid jobs in college libraries, labs and cooperative stores. The application fee is quite basic around 300 rupees. For UG Economics the tution fees is 25000/per year, Exam fees varries on semester usually around 3000, There is separate fee for certificates and alumini association and money will be collected from students for Department functions and culturals.

Fee Structure And Facilities:

You will be really shocked after listening to the fee structure, just like I was. My BA course costs mere 1500 rupees for 3 whole years(INR 418/year)! To tell you the truth, this was so cheap that I was suspicious for sometime of the quality of education. But after enrolling, believe me I never looked back.
