Tuition is the 2026-27 programme fee on the CDOE’s course pages and brochures, payable each academic year, and every course adds a one-time ₹1,000 registration fee. The pages disagree on the rest: the fee tables add a ₹2,000 exam fee a year, while the summaries and the CDOE’s FAQ add ₹1,000 a semester for exams and ₹1,500 a semester for library, e-resources and ICT, which gives the higher totals. Ask the CDOE which applies before you pay.
