Fees and Financial Aid:

so I'm doing sociology honours in banaras hindu university. Here Rs. 11300 was taken by me for the first time and this fees remains same for all the upcoming semisters too. Fees can vary according to your college and course. The fees of FMC is very low as compared to affiliated colleges. Like my friends who are in FMC , their fees remains around 5k to6k of a year. This is annual fees.For filling the form of this university, or we can say the registration fees was Rs. 250. So this amount was taken by me as I'm a sc student. For General's, it was 500. And if u want to participate in any event , u need to pay a certain for everything. No library fees in main campus but in affiliated colleges like ampg if u want to take book in your hostel , u need to give 1 Rupee for one day. There are so many sclorships which you can apply like UP SCLORSHIP. For this the eligibility is domicile of UP, family income less than 2.5 lakh for Sc and for others 2 lakhs and others you can check in websites. Overall, bhu is affordable than most of the universities.

Be detailed, specific,and honest

Scholarship depends upon your marks in board or in the exam of your college. Hostel is ok not as expected. Fees is 11300 per year without scholarship. * Some universities give scholarship to those students who belong from same state like In Banaras Hindu University only those students got scholarship who are belong from Uttar Pradesh.
