⚠️ Important
Fees shown reflect the official structure from image_ccc124.jpg. The annual Tuition Fee is a flat RUB 395,000. In the 1st Year, an additional RUB 40,000 covers Documentation, Russian translation, notary, invitation, airport pick up, medical checkup, biometrics, sanitary book, visa extension, and registration including insurance, making the 1st-year total RUB 435,000. For Years 2 to 6, the table lists the total as RUB 395,000/year, noting that Visa Extension and Medical Checkups are paid extra as per university requirement. Please note a structural discrepancy in the official brochure: the table's total column calculates to RUB 26,10,000 (implying the 40,000 charge might recur), while the bottom banner officially states the 'Estimated total fee for the entire course - Ruble 24,10,000/- only (excluding hostel)'. An Additional One-Time Payment (OTC) of USD 1500 applies in the first year. Hostel fees are explicitly excluded from this package. Tuition fee is based on inflation every year. EduFin Service Charges including 18% GST total Rs 1,30,000 (Registration Fee: Rs 10,000; Service Charge: Rs 1,00,000; Visa Charges: Rs 20,000).
