Get fee detailsFees from each course page on the university’s website, the CDOE site linked from the university’s website. Each table lists a ₹500 one-time registration fee and a ₹1,500 exam fee every semester; the totals are the CDOE’s own and include both. The tables don’t name a session. The distance BA page prints a ₹36,500 total that doesn’t match its semester figures, so only the semester fee is shown. Confirm the fee with the CDOE before you pay.
