Taking a break during/between semesters:

In such instances, the applicable semester fee for any of the pending semesters will be same as that announced for newly admitted students in the academic year during which you register for the pending semester.

  • Breaks can only be taken between semesters but if you take a break in-between an ongoing semester, you will need to register for that semester again and pay the applicable tuition fee.
