Architecture Course Fees
Fees depend on institution type, location and facilities.
| Programme | General fee pattern |
|---|---|
| Certificate course | Depends on provider, duration, assessment, software and credential |
| Diploma | Varies by public or private institution, facilities and programme recognition |
| Government B.Arch | Usually follows published semester fees and applicable concessions |
| Private B.Arch | Can be substantially higher and should be evaluated across the full five-year course |
| M.Arch | Depends on university, specialisation, studio requirements and assistantship options |
| PhD | Varies by institution; fellowships, assistantships or sponsored routes may be available |
Published fee ranges can be misleading because they combine courses of different levels, durations and recognition. Applicants should use the latest official fee notice for the exact programme and include hostel, software, printing, model-making, drawing materials, study tours, site visits and thesis expenses.
These are broad reference ranges. Current college fees may fall outside them.

Architecture students may spend on:
- drawing instruments;
