Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University

What is the fee structure at Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University?

Fees at Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University, Gwalior are among the most affordable in Indian arts education because it is a Madhya Pradesh state government university (established 2008), with core music and performing-arts tuition running from roughly Rs 1,150 to Rs 8,900 per year in 2026, while the studio-intensive Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) costs between Rs 1.60 lakh and Rs 2.17 lakh for the full four-year programme. The BA in Music is the cheapest pathway at about Rs 1,800 per year (around Rs 6,000 for three years), whereas diploma programmes span a wide Rs 80,000 to Rs 2,77,000 band depending on the discipline. In short, RMTU keeps degree-level music, dance and theatre education within reach of nearly every applicant, while fine-arts and design tracks that need materials and studios sit at the higher end.

This page presents the actual 2026 fee figures for the BA, MA, BFA, MFA, B.Des and PhD programmes at Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University, explains the year-wise trend, and lists the scholarships that lower the effective cost. Where an exact published tuition figure is not disclosed by the university for a specific programme, that is stated plainly rather than estimated.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below answers the single most common question from RMTU aspirants: what will each programme actually cost in 2026? It lists every programme from our verified course set (BA, MA, BFA, MFA, B.Des and PhD), its duration, the tuition component, the other recurring charges, and the indicative total. Read it as a planning tool: the "Tuition Fee" column reflects the core academic charge, while "Other Charges" covers registration, examination and caution/library money that the university collects separately and which varies by session. Figures marked "Not separately published" are programmes for which Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University has not disclosed a discrete fee online; applicants should confirm these at the admission office.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is the gap between performing-arts and visual-arts costs: a BA in Music at roughly Rs 6,000 total is dramatically cheaper than a four-year BFA at Rs 1.60 lakh to Rs 2.17 lakh, because fine-arts and applied-arts tracks fund studios, materials and equipment. For postgraduate (MA, MFA) and doctoral (PhD) study, Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University does not advertise a single fixed figure, so candidates should treat the affordable government-university tuition band (roughly Rs 1,150 to Rs 8,900 per year for music and performing arts) as the realistic baseline and verify the exact number for their chosen specialisation at admission.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

The table below answers whether RMTU fees have risen recently and helps a 2026 applicant judge whether to expect a hike. As a Madhya Pradesh government university, Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University has kept its core fees broadly stable, and no significant tuition increase has been publicly reported across the 2024, 2025 and 2026 admission cycles. Read the columns as the indicative fee position in each year for the two anchor programmes where figures are available.

The trend is reassuring for budgeting: across 2024 to 2026 the BA and BFA fee positions at Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University have held steady, with no announced hike. Because it is a state-funded institution, any future revision is typically modest and applied at session level rather than mid-course, so an applicant entering in 2026 can reasonably plan on stable tuition for the duration of the programme. Always reconfirm the current-session fee on the official MPOnline portal before paying.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University

Raja Mansingh Tomar Music and Arts University supports students through institutional scholarships and, as a Madhya Pradesh government university, through state-government scholarship schemes that can reduce the effective fee to near zero for eligible categories. The two institution-level supports confirmed for RMTU are Research Scholarships (aimed at MA, MFA and PhD-level scholars) and Scholarships for Disabled (differently-abled) Students. Because the BA in Music already costs only around Rs 1,800 per year in 2026, even partial assistance makes degree-level music and dance education effectively free for many families.

Beyond the university's own support, students at this government institution are routinely eligible to apply for Madhya Pradesh state post-matric scholarship schemes for SC, ST, OBC and economically weaker applicants, which are processed through state portals rather than charged at the counter. Applicants should carry caste, income and domicile certificates to admission, and confirm the exact list of active schemes for their category at the RMTU scholarship/admission cell, since eligibility and disbursement are governed by Madhya Pradesh government rules each year. Only the institutional Research Scholarship and Disabled-Student Scholarship are stated here as university-specific; category scholarships are state-administered.
