Fees
Application fees
- Application form processing fee: BDT 500 (non‑refundable).
- Admission is confirmed only after payment of the required admission fee at the time of enrolment (applicants must complete admission formalities within the stated time).

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The college does not publish a public, itemised tuition fee table for each year group and term on its publicly available admission materials. A detailed per‑grade, per‑term or per‑year tuition schedule is not available in the college's published admission/application documents and notices. Because a public fee table is not published, exact term and annual tuition amounts by school year cannot be stated here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The college issues tuition payment reminders and sets specific due dates in notices (for example, a tuition payment reminder requested clearing outstanding tuition up to June 2026 by 15 June 2026). Parents are required to clear outstanding tuition by the dates given in such notices.
- Fees for admission-related processes must be paid to confirm admission as noted in the application instructions.

Boarding / hostel fees
- No boarding or hostel facilities or boarding/hostel fee lines are published in the college's publicly available admission materials and notices. There is no publicly listed boarding fee.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Participation / activity fees: examples from official notices include a study‑tour participation fee of BDT 1,000 for Standard VIII and similar one‑time event charges.
- Sport / coaching programme fees: an admission/registration fee and monthly coaching fee are charged for sport coaching programs when offered (example: girls' football coaching — admission fee BDT 500 and monthly coaching fee BDT 1,500).
- Short courses / language classes: example — an introductory Chinese course (STD VI–XII) is run with a stated course fee of BDT 2,000 per student.
- The application form explicitly notes the application processing fee (BDT 500) is non‑refundable; other one‑time items (security deposit, development charges, uniforms, textbooks, transport, exam registration) may apply in practice but specific standard amounts for these are not published in the college's publicly available admission documents and notices.

Refund information
- The application form processing fee (BDT 500) is non‑refundable. No comprehensive, public refund policy for tuition, admission or other fees is included in the college's published admission/application materials and notices.

Fee payment options
- Online payment: the college provides a secure online fee‑payment facility and directs payers to the Dutch‑Bangla Bank ePay portal for fee payment. Use of the college's official e‑payment portal is the published payment route for tuition and other fees.
- The college issues official fee notices and reminders (dates and instructions) through its notices and parent communications; payment methods accepted on the ePay portal (cards, bank transfer, mobile payments) depend on the bank portal's supported methods and are processed through that secure e‑payment gateway.

Summary of findings and limitations
- Found and confirmed from the college's published admission materials and notices: the non‑refundable application form processing fee (BDT 500), examples of programme/course/participation fees (study tour BDT 1,000; girls' football coaching: admission BDT 500 and monthly coaching BDT 1,500), a Chinese short‑course fee (BDT 2,000), and that the college uses an online ePay portal for payments.
- Limitation: the college's publicly available admission/application documents and notices do not include a complete, itemised tuition fee schedule by grade and term that can be reported here (per‑term and per‑year tuition amounts for each year group are not published in the materials available). Because no public tuition table is published in the college's admission materials and notices, exact tuition figures per term and per year group cannot be provided in this overview.
