Why you must check this before counselling
During counselling, you will be offered seats at various colleges based on your rank and choices. Once you accept a seat, you are committing to pay the fees set by that college. If you have not reviewed the fee structure in advance, you may accept a seat and then discover that the fees are higher than you expected or can afford.
Reviewing the fee structure now helps you make an informed decision about which colleges to include in your choice list and which seats to accept. It also helps you and your family plan your finances for the course.
What the fee structure typically includes
The fee structure for BDS courses usually includes tuition fees (the main course fee), development charges (for infrastructure and facilities), examination fees, library fees, laboratory fees, and other mandatory charges. Some colleges may also list hostel fees separately if applicable.
The structure is usually broken down by year — Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4 — because fees may vary across the course. Read each section carefully to understand the total cost for each year and the total cost for the entire 4-year BDS programme.
Important points to remember
The fees published in this structure are the MAXIMUM fees that a minority private BDS college in UP can charge. A college cannot charge more than these amounts. However, a college may charge less if it chooses to do so.
Once you accept a seat at a college, you are bound by the fee structure of that college. If you later withdraw from the seat, you may lose a portion of your fees depending on the refund policy. Always read the refund and cancellation policy before accepting a seat.
If a college charges fees higher than those listed in this official structure, report it to DGME UP immediately. Colleges that violate the fee structure can face penalties.
How to use this information during counselling
Before counselling begins, download this fee structure and compare the fees across the minority private BDS colleges you are interested in. Make a note of the total cost for each college so you can compare them side by side.
During counselling, when you are offered a seat, cross-check the college name and fees against this official structure. If the college tries to charge you fees that are not listed here or are higher than listed, do not accept the seat and contact the counselling authority.
If you have multiple seat offers, use the fee structure to help you decide which seat to accept based on your financial situation and preferences.
What to do if you have questions about the fees
If you have questions about the fee structure or if a college is charging fees that do not match this official document, contact the DGME UP counselling helpline or visit the upneet.gov.in portal for support.
Do not rely on information from the college's website or brochure alone — always verify fees against this official government structure. If there is a discrepancy, the official structure takes precedence.
