The school's admission terms also refer to payment of course fee and hostel charges and require those charges to be paid within the notified date; selected candidates are required to remit prescribed course and hostel charges by the notified deadline.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Selected candidates must pay the prescribed course fee and any hostel charges within the notified date; failure to remit by the notified date can result in cancellation of admission. The college's admission documents indicate that course fees are expected to be paid in one installment unless otherwise notified.

Other costs and additional fees

- The school does not publish a comprehensive list of ancillary costs (for example, uniform, textbooks, activity fees, instrument or lab deposits, medical or insurance charges) alongside the published annual tuition figures.
