University of Hyderabad

What is the fee structure at University of Hyderabad?

The fee structure at University of Hyderabad (UoH) for the full programme duration ranges from roughly ₹24,000 for MA and M.Com to ₹2,00,000 for the MBA (2026), making this central government university one of the most affordable research institutions in Telangana. Most two-year master's programmes such as M.Sc, LLM and MFA cost ₹30,000 for the whole course, MCA is ₹60,000, M.Tech is ₹80,000, while doctoral routes run from ₹50,000 for a regular PhD to ₹80,000 for the six-year Integrated PhD (2026). Because UoH is publicly funded and follows the CUET PG / CAT / GATE admission route, tuition is heavily subsidised compared with private universities, and hostel charges add only about ₹3,850 per semester for a general-category student.

The figures below are the academic programme fees for the entire course duration unless stated otherwise. Other charges (registration, examination, library and the one-time hostel fund) are nominal, and reserved-category students enjoy additional waivers explained later on this page.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below sets out the course-wise fee structure at University of Hyderabad for 2026, answering the most common aspirant question: "how much does each programme actually cost end to end?" The "Tuition Fee" column is the published academic fee for the full duration, "Other Charges" covers nominal one-time registration, examination and library components, and "Total Fee" is the all-in programme cost. Read each row against the duration so you can plan a per-year budget, for example dividing the ₹80,000 M.Tech fee across two years gives roughly ₹40,000 a year.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that UoH's humanities and commerce master's degrees (MA and M.Com at ₹24,000) are the lowest-cost entry points, while the MBA at ₹2,00,000 is the single most expensive taught programme, costing more than eight times an MA. Research aspirants get strong value: a five-year PhD at ₹50,000 works out to only about ₹10,000 a year, and most PhD scholars also draw a monthly fellowship that more than offsets the fee. Eligibility matters too, since M.Tech needs GATE and a 60% B.Tech aggregate, the MBA needs CAT, and most other PG seats are filled through CUET PG.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

University of Hyderabad has kept tuition broadly stable across 2024-2026, with the most visible revision being on the MBA, where the full-course fee rose from about ₹2.05 Lakh in 2024 to roughly ₹2.25 Lakh in 2025 (reported figures), settling around the ₹2,00,000 mark used in our 2026 listing. The table below tracks the MBA trend, the programme where applicants are most likely to feel a hike, alongside the stable core PG and PhD fees so you can judge the direction of travel before applying.

For an applicant, the practical message is that only the MBA has shown a meaningful year-on-year movement (a hike of roughly ₹20,000 between 2024 and 2025), while UoH's science, arts, commerce, law and doctoral fees have held steady across all three years. If you are budgeting for a non-MBA programme in 2026, you can plan against these figures with confidence, but MBA aspirants should confirm the exact first-year split (paid in two installments) from the official admission notice before depositing money.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at University of Hyderabad

University of Hyderabad reduces the effective cost of study through a layered system of fellowships, category waivers and assistance grants rather than a single discount. The headline support for research scholars is the Non-NET Fellowship of ₹8,000 per month, paid for up to four years to PhD scholars who do not already hold a national fellowship, which alone exceeds the entire ₹50,000 PhD course fee. Combined with a near-free fee structure, this means many doctoral students at UoH effectively earn while they study.

For taught programmes, UoH runs the UoH Students Assistance (UoH SA) scheme for Integrated Masters and Masters students, a Digital Access Grant (DAG) of ₹1,000 per month for selected students on income criteria, and the BBL fellowship of ₹1,000 per month for students whose family income is below ₹60,000 per year. Telangana-domicile students from eligible categories can also use the state ePASS scholarship, which covers tuition for qualifying SC, ST, BC, EBC and minority students, effectively making the degree free for them.

On the direct fee side, reserved-category benefits cut hostel and ancillary costs: SC/ST/PWD students pay no room rent (versus ₹500 per semester for general students), and SC/ST students with family income below ₹2 Lakh pay only a ₹1,500 refundable mess deposit instead of ₹2,500. Always verify current scholarship amounts and deadlines on the official UoH Students' Welfare and scholarships pages, as fellowship rates and income ceilings are revised periodically.
