Fee structure for the cource i have applied is 2500 per semester. It may take little amount after 1st semester, currently didn't pay the 2nd semester fee so don't know about second sem fee. And there is nothing about scholarship because it is a central university, government give other benefits in term of medical and free bus in the campus.
