Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Request Written Fee Breakups– “Before confirming a seat, request a written, itemised fee structure from the college. Cross-check with the official one fixed by the Fee Committee.”
- Don’t Get Misled by Hidden Costs– “Some colleges may include charges under miscellaneous heads. Always ask: Is this part of the approved structure?
- Confirm Hostel and Miscellaneous Fees Separately– “Fee fixation typically applies to tuition. Other charges (like hostel, mess, transport) should be verified separately and in writing.”
- Plan Financially With Realistic Estimates– “Factor in total 5-year cost, including hostel, books, insurance, etc., and not just tuition fees. Have a long-term financial plan.”
