SOA does not publish one university-wide fee. Each of its 10 constituent institutes sets its own fee. The circulars for the 2026 admission batch are the latest published. They show the academic fee per semester.
The BTech Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) fee is ₹1,57,500 a semester. That is ₹3,15,000 a year and ₹12,60,000 for eight semesters (SOA 2026 academic fee circular). The BDS course fee is ₹6,00,000 a year for 2026-27 (soa.ac.in/fees-structure-ids). MBBS on a management or paid seat costs ₹22,95,000 a year for 2026-27, for 4.5 years (IMS and SUM Hospital Round 3 notice, 1 October 2026).
These are tuition fees. Hostel, mess and one-time charges are extra and are covered below. Read the SOA ROI section to see what the BTech CSE cost means against the latest pay.
No. The ₹6,00,000 course fee does not include hostel and mess. SOA bills both separately, and both are listed below.
The fee circulars for the 2026 admission batch. The dental fee page and the MBBS fee page both show 2026-27. SOA can revise a fee each year, so check the circular for your own batch.

SOA quotes the academic fee per semester in its 2026 circular. The dental and medical institutes quote an annual fee. The dental institute also charges an exam charge of ₹2,500 (soa.ac.in/fees-structure-ids). The medical institute charges a student welfare fee of ₹25,000, one time and non-refundable. It charges an examination fee of ₹10,000 for each professional examination (IMS and SUM Hospital fee page).
At MBBS admission you pay the first-year course fee, the welfare fee and the ₹5,000 college caution money. Hostel and mess are paid separately.
SOA's circular lists the fee per semester for most programmes and per year for dental and medical programmes. It does not state whether you can pay in instalments. Ask the SOA admission cell before you plan your payment.
Yes. The 2026 batch pays ₹1,000 as counselling fee and ₹4,000 as admission fee. Both are one time and non-refundable. The ₹5,000 institute caution money is refundable (SOA processing fee circular).
Yes. MDS students pay the annual course fee shown above. They also receive a monthly stipend. It is ₹36,000 in the first year, ₹38,000 in the second and ₹40,000 in the third. BDS interns receive ₹13,000 a month for one year.
SOA gives a BDS scholarship of ₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000 a year for four years in 2026-27. It also gives an undergraduate scholarship of ₹35,000 a year. You need admission from 2026-27 and at least 80% in Class 10 and Class 12. See the full SOA scholarship page for eligibility and renewal.
SOA follows the UGC Notification on remittance and refund of fees, dated 12 June 2024. It does not run its own separate refund schedule (admission.soa.ac.in/refund-policy). A student seeking a refund must submit a written application to the Director (Admissions). This needs the original registration card and the original fee receipt. You also need a bank account form for RTGS transfer and a passbook copy. The exact refund percentages by withdrawal date are not on SOA's page. Check the UGC's own 12 June 2024 notification for the percentage schedule.
For MBBS, the IMS and SUM Hospital Round 3 notice states that ₹30,000 is deducted if you cancel a seat.
Not automatically. SOA's refund policy follows the UGC's June 2024 notification rather than a flat full-refund rule. The counselling fee and admission fee are non-refundable, and SOA states that its refund information is indicative.
