Fees and Financial Aid:

I am persuing M.A in English Literature and this degree course includes semester fees of 2000/- and the exam fees is somewhere around 750/-. The fees structure is very minimal that actually gives wisdom to scholar from around the globe to pursue their higher studies from such a heritage. The professors are equally jewels with treasures of knowledge and experience. Every class is worth it. Scholarship like Swami Vivekananda Scholarship and Kanyashree Scholarship are also available to support students.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The course fees was pretty nominal. Admission fees was around Rs1000. Each sem you have to pay exam fees which was Rs150 for first three sems, and Rs180 for the 4th sem. We also had to pay monthly fees that would be taken all together of 4-6 months at once. Our last year's fees was total Rs1244. Tuition fees Rs1200, rest are game fees library fees etc. Whatever you have to pay, it never crosses Rs.1500. I don't think fees were any lesser for reserved category students. One think to mention, all payments are taken through SBI collect portal, even if it's Rs1. For the scholarship part, you have your Swami Vivekananda or K3 scholarship, 24k each year of you complete without backlogs. Reserved category students also have their own scholarship. There also a single girl child scholarship, which you could aplly to if you're the only child of your parents and you're a girl. But you can only apply for one.
