What is the fee structure at Manipur University?

The fee structure at Manipur University, Imphal for 2026 ranges from roughly Rs 50,000 for the two-year MCA to about Rs 2,39,140 for the four-year B.E. programme, with most postgraduate degrees such as MBA (Rs 1,20,000) and M.Tech (Rs 1,32,180) sitting in between. As a Central University (it gained central status in 2005), Manipur University keeps tuition deliberately low compared with private institutions, so the full cost of a degree here is usually a fraction of what a comparable private college charges.

The figures below cover full-programme fees for the most-applied courses at Manipur University. Arts, science and commerce programmes such as B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., M.A., M.Sc. and M.Com. follow the standard central-university subsidised slabs, where tuition for a full UG degree typically stays in the low thousands of rupees. Admission across programmes is driven by CUET UG, CUET PG and the Manipur University Entrance Test (MUET), and the fee a student finally pays can drop further through UGC scholarships and income-based fee concessions detailed later on this page.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

This table sets out the full-programme fee for the flagship courses at Manipur University for the 2026 admission cycle, alongside duration. It answers the single question most aspirants have: "What will the whole degree cost me?" Read the Total Fee column as the amount payable across the entire programme, not per year. Where Manipur University publishes only a consolidated central-university fee, exam, registration, library and other one-time charges are already folded into that total, shown here as "Included in total".

The takeaway for 2026 applicants is clear: the professional and self-financed programmes (B.E., M.Tech, MBA, MCA) carry the only substantial fees at Manipur University, with B.E. the most expensive at Rs 2,39,140 across four years. Traditional arts, science, commerce and law degrees remain heavily subsidised in line with central-university policy, which is why courses like B.A., B.Sc., M.A. and LL.B. are among the most-applied programmes here. Because several fees are listed as "n/a" in our records pending the official 2026 prospectus, treat those rows as subsidised central-university slabs and confirm the exact rupee figure on the Manipur University admission portal before paying.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

This section tracks whether Manipur University has raised its fees across the 2024 to 2026 admission cycles, which is the question returning aspirants and parents planning multi-year budgets most often ask. Because Manipur University is a Central University, its fee revisions are modest and infrequent rather than the steep annual hikes seen at private colleges. The table below summarises the trend for the flagship professional programmes.

The pattern across 2024-2026 is one of stability: Manipur University has not announced a sharp fee hike for its core B.E., M.Tech, MBA or MCA programmes, so the 2026 figures track closely with prior years. For applicants this means the cost you see today is a reliable basis for a three or four-year budget, with only small annual revisions to examination and ancillary charges likely. Always reconfirm the figure in the live 2026 prospectus, since exact per-semester components can be adjusted year on year even when the headline total holds.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Manipur University

Manipur University reduces the effective cost of study through UGC-funded scholarships, central-government category provisions and an income-based fee concession scheme rather than blanket waivers. The most widely used route is the merit-cum-means structure: students whose parents' annual income is below Rs 60,000 are eligible for a fee concession, provided they meet academic conditions such as clearing the first and second semester examinations without any back papers and securing at least 50%. This concession typically applies from the third semester onwards, so first-year students pay the standard fee and then claim relief once they qualify.

On the category side, Manipur University follows central reservation norms with reduced charges for reserved groups. The application fee itself is tiered: Rs 300 for UR/OBC/EWS candidates and Rs 200 for SC/ST/PwD applicants. Hostel charges are similarly differentiated, with SC/ST residents paying a lower rate (around Rs 1,200 versus Rs 1,500 for general and minority students for the standard period). Beyond institutional support, students can layer on national schemes such as UGC merit scholarships, the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) post-matric scholarships for SC/ST/OBC/minority students, and state government scholarships from the Government of Manipur, which together can offset a large share of the tuition shown above. There is no separate fabricated "100% tuition waiver" at Manipur University; relief comes through these stacked, eligibility-based schemes.
