There is no current hike in the tution fee but the overall cost of a UG program is regarded to be high for a general category student. The complete cost of accomodation and messing for the 4 years is approx. INR 432,000. I'm about to undertake the internship drive conducted by the placement office in my 5th semester which will be after the summers.
