Indian Nationals
The total programme fee for Indian nationals is ₹70,000 (Rupees Seventy Thousand).
For your convenience, the fee can be paid in two instalments:
- First instalment: ₹35,000 — payable after receipt of the admission letter (via email)
- Second instalment: ₹35,000 — payable before the start of the 2nd semester
- Examination + Diploma fee: ₹1,200 (payable with the 2nd Term fee).
- Registration fee: ₹300 (payable with the application).
Why this works for you: flexible payment, confirmed admission before first payment, and clear timelines with no hidden charges.
What your fee covers
Your programme fee is valid for three consecutive academic sessions (three years). That means every enrolled participant receives up to three attempts to pass the Diploma examination within that period. If you need to sit the exam in a later year, only the examination fee and a deferment fee will be payable.
Scholarship / fee-reimbursement for SC / ST / OBC students
Students from SC / ST / OBC categories must pay the programme fee up front and then submit their completed scholarship/reimbursement forms to the Social Welfare Department. Before submission, obtain an endorsement from the CDVL to ensure smooth processing and quicker reimbursement.
