Why Fees Differ Across Faculties
It is important to note that fees vary by faculty due to the nature of facilities, resources, and practical requirements needed for training students. For example:
-
Medical-related faculties (Dentistry, Allied Health, Clinical Sciences, etc.) attract higher fees because of their intensive laboratory, clinical, and hospital training components.
-
Humanities and Social Sciences, on the other hand, tend to have lower fees as they require fewer specialized facilities.
-
Faculties such as Engineering and Computing fall in between, as they combine both theory and extensive practical work.
Payment Guidelines
To ensure a smooth registration process, students are advised to follow these steps for payment:
-
Log in to the Student Portal – Use your admission details to access your personalized dashboard.

-

Pay Early: Avoid last-minute payments to prevent network hitches and bank queues.
-
Keep Records: Always keep copies of your receipts and confirmation slips.
-
Beware of Fraudsters: All payments should be made only through the official school channels. Do not give money to individuals promising to “help.”

Conclusion
