FEE STRUCTURE FOR ALL COURSES
We endeavour to keep costs to students at the lowest possible level despite constantly escalating input costs. However to get full value, officers need to register for the courses / attempt all papers and have these corrected at the USI. If this is done for all papers there will be a constant improvement, which would surely help passing of exams. Some course fees for 2025 stands revised (See Fee Structure in Prospectus).
