An depth review of my college experience, campus, life, hostel, internship, and more

The fee structure for my course at the government college is structured to be affordable and comprehensive with no additional charges beyond the outline . For the 1st semester the fee is ?55000 which includes tuition hostel charges lab fees develpment fees and other charges .from the 2nd sem ownwards the fee reduces to approximately 40,000- 45,000 per semester bringing annual fee to be 1lakh and over the entire 4th year course the total fees amt to approximately ?4,00,000. there are no fee concessions based on categories such as sc st or other scholarship opportunities such as merit cum need or other financial aid schemes can be availed depending on the eligibility But other charges such as books notebooks and additional food bills which tends to be more than our purchases which indirectly increases the fees at the semester end ..as much time is given for the fees submission 10,000 or less than this or more than this is our security fees or something which we pay in our first semester.

GBPUAT Pantnagar Review

The fees isn't very high. Its upto 50k for unpaid seats per semester. Might fluctuate a lil bit but stays around 50 k only. There are no additional charges apart from the fees which covers both tuition fees and hostel charges. Financial aids and scholarships are available for weaker section of society .
