Studying BSc Hons in India provides students with a variety of options in both government and private colleges, and the range of fees and facilities differs. Government colleges like Banaras Hindu University, University of Delhi, Jamia Millia Islamia, etc, provide very affordable education with course fees as low as INR 10,000 to INR 60,000 and affordable hostel fees. With the support of their academic reputations and high NIRF ranking, these institutions give quality education at a low cost.

 

On the other hand, the modern infrastructure and all-around support in privately run universities such as Manipal Academy, VIT, and Symbiosis are comparatively expensive, with course fees ranging between INR 2,00,000 and INR 6,00,000 on average. The variety in hostel fees is also very high, with an average of INR 1,60,000 a year. Moreover, when fees are compared state-wise, states such as Delhi, Karnataka, West Bengal, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu, there are chances that high-ranking institutions in urban regions will have high fees, and some of the elite institutions still offer quality education at reasonable fees.
