UPES Fees: Programme-wise Fee Structure

UPES publishes programme fees for 2026-27

UPES's fee page identifies the academic year as 2026-27 and uses school, programme and course selectors to display its schedules. The tables here were retrieved from the same university service used by that page on 15 October 2026. They retain the selected programme labels, semester numbers and fee components. They are reference schedules for that published cycle, not confirmed 2027-28 charges.

The distinction between tuition and academic service fees is central to reading these tables. A tuition amount alone does not describe the entire semester charge where the source lists another component. Where UPES itself prints a total, that total is preserved with its original semester or table context. No new full-degree total has been calculated by combining rows, multiplying a semester rate or extrapolating later years.

Use the exact course family, then read every semester

The same school may publish different fee schedules for its courses. Applied Petroleum Engineering has its own selector, while a different selector groups several non-computing engineering routes. Business has separate entries for general BBA, designated variants, commerce and MBA categories. Design, law, computer science, health sciences and liberal studies likewise have programme-specific groupings. Match the complete course name before treating an amount as relevant to your shortlist.

Some responses divide a longer course across continuation tables. Read the semester heading of each table instead of assuming the next table restarts the first year. A schedule that stops after certain semesters does not authorise a guessed amount for any missing period. If your offer uses a new specialisation label or a global pathway, ask which schedule applies and whether any overseas phase is governed by a separate institution and currency.

An identified source conflict stays unresolved

The university's Sociology/Philosophy fee selector returned a heading naming different liberal-studies courses. We have not assigned that response to Sociology or Philosophy. Those degree guides retain a request for programme-specific confirmation instead of a fee line built from a mismatched label. A technically successful response is not sufficient evidence when the course identity within it is inconsistent.

This principle also matters for shared degree guides containing ordinary campus study and conditional international pathways. The campus fee belongs to the campus phase described by its schedule. It cannot become an overseas university quotation. Obtain the written fee and progression conditions for each phase before deciding that a pathway is affordable. A change of route can also affect scholarship eligibility, which is addressed separately in the scholarship guide.

Other fees and accommodation are separate

UPES publishes an additional page headed Other Fee structure for AY 2026-27. It includes programme-dependent training, development and other charges, residential choices and a fee-payment schedule. The page title still refers to 2025-26, so this guide follows the visible 2026-27 section while retaining that mismatch in the research record. Ask for the document issued with your offer if a label or charge differs.

The residential information gives different room categories for Bidholi and Kandoli and separates male and female accommodation. We do not compress those choices into a single hostel price. The same page states an interest-free refundable hostel security fee of ₹10,000 at registration. That is a hostel-specific deposit, separate from programme charges. Hostel availability and the refund conditions still need confirmation for the room and intake you select.

Payment dates do not establish admission deadlines

The other-fees page prints a fee-payment schedule for students admitted in academic year 2026-27. A semester payment date in that schedule is not the application last date for admission in 2027. The admission guide therefore keeps application status, exam information and payment obligations separate. This avoids using a future instalment date as evidence that applications remain open until then.

UPES currently announces 2027 applications in its admissions alerts, but several selection dates and cut-offs remain to be announced. Budget preparation can begin using a clearly labelled previous-cycle schedule while the new fee quotation is pending. Before you pay to accept an offer, confirm the applicable academic year, the exact course and specialisation, the academic service charge, the extra mandatory charges and the acceptance deadline.

Scholarship percentages cover specified components

The scholarship material distinguishes first-year tuition support, domicile concessions and other named schemes. Several awards have eligibility, availability and renewal conditions. The published page says 2027-28 scholarship details will be announced later. A future-cycle budget should therefore not deduct a percentage from the 2026-27 semester total and assume that is the amount due for admission next year.

Use the sibling scholarship page to understand the current published framework, then ask for the award decision attached to your application. If you receive a concession, establish whether it affects tuition only, whether it can continue in later years and which payments remain due before adjustment. AptiGuide can help you compare these documents across the degree routes you are considering. The university's written course-and-cycle quotation remains the document to resolve any disagreement.
