This is because admission is subject to fulfillment of all requirements and class size as approved by the University Senate.

Also, be aware that the university fee is subject to review from time to time as the University deems fit but this is only applicable to new/ fresher students and does not affect continuing students.

So, confirm first before making any payment if you are a new student.

Just so you know the fee in this article is not inclusive of attachments/internship fees and for Government-sponsored (KUCCPS) students, applicable fees are indicated in the student admission letters.
