VBU at a glance

The cost was around 50k. As it is a Central University the cost was less for carrying out this course. They provided financial assistance to the EWS,SC,ST, and OBC students and provided scholarships to students based on their merits.

Visva- Bharati a unique blend of culture and education

Fee Structure - First year - 26000, Second year- 19000. There is a provision for getting need-based financial assistance out of the student aid fund of the university subject to the consideration of the administrative body. But there are no campus jobs. And other state government and central government scholarships can be availed under certain conditions as mentioned on the government website of the scholarships.

Journalism department of Visva Bharati

Studying journalism and mass communication at Visva Bharati is more costly than any other subject at this university. For GENERAL, OBC & EWS candidates the fee for the first year is 26240. For SC/ST & PWD candidates the fee is Rs 21240. For the 2nd year again the fee is 19,240 for GEN/OBC/EWS and for SC/ST/PWD the fee is Rs 14,240. So the total fee in two years is almost 41000 for GEN/OBC/EWS and almost Rs 36000 for minority candidates. However, the student can apply for Swami Vivekananda Merit cum scholarships which pay 24000 per year and Kanyahsree for girls. This help to cover the college fees. But you have to score a minimum of 53% to get the scholarships. We do not have a job campus facility. I have heard it used to happen 5-6 years ago.
