REVISED FEE STRUCTURE AND STUDENT CLASSIFICATION

The University revised its fee structure and student classification in April 2021 for graduate students.

Previously, all graduate students were broadly classified as Full-Time or Part-Time.

The new classification is Scholarship or Non-Scholarship students.

Scholarship students are those who are offered monthly financial benefits by the University. They do not pay any tuition fee.

Non-scholarship students are the ones who are not offered any financial benefits and need to pay tuition fee as per the following revised fee structure:
