And two, the amazing faculty members and course structure

The semester and exam fee is 44 rupees per semester and all over, there is no semester fee other than that. During admission, you have to pay around 1200-1300 rupees including registration and enrollment, etc. For the library, there are no additional charges and it is all included in the registration fee.
