The fee structure for PhD programs typically varies between Indian and Foreign students, regardless of whether the university is Central, State, or Private. Even for Indian students, the fee charged from PhD aspirants under the General category varies with the fee schedule set for the SC/ST category.
University’s affiliation and recognition signals the variation in the course fee charged. Institutes and Universities that are overseen by the Government of India set low fee, with the motive to enhance the level of education in the country and encourage the less privileged scholars towards research.
Being funded by the Central government, the fee charged by most Central Universities is generally way less than the State and the Private Universities. But on the counterpart, the competition to get into a Central University is tough and so is the entrance test.
You can observe the difference in fees for Indian nationals and foreign candidates by referring to the fee structure for PhD programs, which is usually available on the university's website or in the prospectus. For Instance, the University of Delhi charges within a range of approximately INR 2000-3000 as their onetime Admission fee from Indian Students, while the same hikes up to INR 15000 approx.
The complete tuition fee for Foreign Candidates generally ranges between US $ 500-700, depending up on the subject area.
Most often the fee structure for PhD programs in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences is lower than the domain of Physical and Applied Sciences and Engineering.
