Miranda House

What is the fee structure at Miranda House?

The fee structure at Miranda House, New Delhi is modest and government-subsidised, ranging from roughly ₹45,000 for a 3-year BA programme to ₹58,000 for a 3-year B.Sc programme (2026). As a constituent women's college of the University of Delhi, Miranda House charges DU-regulated fees, so the cost of studying here is a fraction of what comparable private institutions ask. Admission to every programme is through CUET (CUET UG for undergraduate courses and CUET PG for postgraduate courses), and there is no separate management or capitation fee. The figures below are programme totals for the full duration; annual hostel charges for outstation students are extra and are detailed in their own section.

In short, an aspirant planning the cost of a degree at Miranda House (2026) should budget around ₹45,000 to ₹58,000 in academic fees for an undergraduate course over three years, plus approximately ₹58,000 to ₹59,000 per year if hostel accommodation is required. SC, ST, EWS and economically weaker students can further reduce this through college and university scholarships.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below sets out the course-wise fee structure at Miranda House for 2026 across its four main programme streams: B.Sc, M.Sc, BA and MA. It answers the most common aspirant question - "how much does each course cost in total?" - by listing programme duration, the indicative tuition component, other charges (university and college development, examination, library, student welfare and similar heads), and the total payable across the full duration. Read the "Total Fee" column as the headline number to budget for; the tuition and other-charges split is indicative because DU bundles several heads into the annual fee. M.Sc and MA totals are marked "Not officially published" because Miranda House has not released a confirmed consolidated PG fee for 2026.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that science is the costlier route at Miranda House: the B.Sc total of ₹58,000 is about ₹13,000 higher than the BA total of ₹45,000, reflecting laboratory, equipment and practical-examination charges that arts programmes do not carry. For an applicant this means a science aspirant should plan for roughly ₹19,000 a year and an arts aspirant for roughly ₹15,000 a year in college fees. Postgraduate applicants to M.Sc and MA should confirm the exact 2026 fee directly from the Miranda House admissions office, since DU PG fees are typically lower than UG fees but were not publicly consolidated at the time of writing.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

Miranda House fees have stayed broadly flat year on year, which is typical of a government-funded DU college, but small annual revisions in development and university charges do occur. The table below tracks the headline B.Sc and BA totals across 2024, 2025 and 2026 so an applicant can see the trend rather than a single snapshot. Read it as the full-duration total payable in each admission cycle; the 2026 figures are the verified database values for Miranda House, while 2024 and 2025 are indicative of the same band reported by education portals.

The trend shows there has been no sharp fee hike at Miranda House between 2024 and 2026 - increases are in the order of a few thousand rupees over three cycles, driven by routine revisions to university and development charges rather than a tuition jump. For an aspirant this means the cost of a Miranda House degree is stable and predictable, and budgeting on the 2026 numbers (₹58,000 for B.Sc, ₹45,000 for BA) carries little risk of an unexpected large increase. Always reconfirm the exact figure at the time of CUET counselling, as the final fee is fixed during admission.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Miranda House

Miranda House offers a substantial portfolio of endowment and merit scholarships that can meaningfully reduce the effective fee, especially for students from low-income households. Because the base fee is already low (₹45,000 to ₹58,000 for the full UG course in 2026), even a modest scholarship covers a large share of the cost. The college's Scholarship Cell administers several named awards alongside University of Delhi schemes; the most relevant are listed below.

• All India Entrance Scholarship - awarded to 50 students pursuing a 3-year Honours degree, providing a monthly stipend of ₹250 (a recurring grant rather than a one-time waiver).
• Shri Balak Ram Scholarship - for a first-year Mathematics student with an outstanding academic record, subject to a low parental-income ceiling, targeting financially weaker high-achievers.
• Prof. J.C. Luthra and Shrimati Kesra Bai Luthra Endowment Scholarship - awarded to first-year Botany, Zoology, Physics or Chemistry Honours students, prioritising women students.
• Ms Jai Rani Bhalla "Merit with Spirit" Scholarship - instituted in 2017-18 for B.A. (Hons) Economics Semester IV students, awarded on financial need with a minimum 5.0 SGPA and no academic backlog.
• University of Delhi Women's Association Scholarship - awarded to two female students who are daughters of defence personnel (soldiers).

Beyond these named awards, students from SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwD categories can also access central and Delhi government post-matric scholarships and DU central fee concessions, which together can cover tuition for eligible candidates. The practical takeaway for 2026: an aspirant who qualifies on merit or means can bring the effective annual cost at Miranda House well below the already-low ₹15,000 to ₹19,000 band, so it is worth applying to the Scholarship Cell immediately after admission rather than waiting.
