For the 2025–27 batch, General/OBC/EWS candidates had ₹3,00,000 tuition + ₹22,400 other charges per semester. An institute residence fee of ₹8,600 per semester applies when hostel accommodation is allotted. Across four semesters, the tuition and other-charge components total ₹12.90 lakh; residence charges are additional where applicable. This is not an all-inclusive living-cost estimate.
What the fee covers
The ₹12 lakh figure is programme tuition. Other institute and residence charges are separately stated by DMS. The exact amount and payment mode for a new batch are specified in its admission offer.
What the fee does not cover
Do not treat tuition as an all-in living cost. Mess, personal expenses and other living costs should be planned separately unless the applicable offer explicitly includes them.
