This page reproduces the official figures Santosh Deemed to be University publishes, states plainly where each one comes from, and then covers the costs that fee pages usually leave out.

These are the figures in the most recent fee schedule Santosh Deemed to be University publishes openly, which is headed "MBBS Course 2020-21". The university notifies the 2026-27 schedule separately, and the binding figures for your admission are the ones in the MCC fee table at the time of counselling. Verify before you pay.
Read the instalment column, not just the annual one. Santosh bills quarterly, which means the money leaves your account in ₹6,00,000 blocks four times a year rather than once. That materially changes how an education loan needs to be structured — banks disburse against a demand letter, and a quarterly cycle means four disbursement events per year, each needing paperwork.
Note also the shape of the schedule: the final year is charged at half rate. That is not a discount so much as an accounting of the shorter final academic year before internship, and it means your cost is front-loaded. Years one to four carry 89% of the total tuition.
Hostel
| Accommodation | Boys | Girls |
|---|---|---|
| Twin sharing, non-AC | 2,00,000 | 2,00,000 |
| Single, non-AC | 3,00,000 | 3,00,000 |
| Twin sharing, AC | 3,00,000 | 3,00,000 |
| Single, AC | 4,00,000 | 4,00,000 |

Hostel is where the real spread sits. The gap between twin-sharing non-AC and single AC is ₹2,00,000 a year — ₹11,00,000 across five and a half years, which is more than a year’s tuition at many private colleges. It is the one line on this page you have genuine control over.
The total, honestly
Adding tuition and the cheapest compliant hostel option:
| Line | Year 1 | Full course |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹24,00,000 | ₹1,08,00,000 |
| Hostel (twin sharing, non-AC) | ₹2,00,000 | ₹11,00,000 approx. |
| Subtotal | ₹26,00,000 | ₹1,19,00,000 approx. |
On top of that, budget for:
- Caution and security deposits — refundable, but they are cash out of the door at admission.
- Examination and university fees — billed separately from tuition each year.
- Mess charges, where not bundled into the hostel figure.
- Books, instruments, dissection kit, lab coats — realistically ₹40,000 to ₹80,000 in year one, less thereafter.
- The MCC security deposit for deemed-university counselling, which is a five-figure sum, refundable, and payable before you know whether you have a seat at all.
A defensible planning number for a family is ₹1.25 to ₹1.35 crore all-in, not ₹1.08 crore.
The instalment trap: post-dated cheques
The official document checklist for reporting includes, at item 15: post-dated cheques for the whole course fee, to be submitted at the time of admission.
This is standard practice at deemed universities and it is worth understanding before you arrive at the admissions desk. You are not paying ₹1.08 crore on day one — but you are being asked to hand over signed instruments covering it. Discuss this with your bank before reporting, because a loan sanction letter and a cheque book are different things and the college wants the second.
NRI category fees
| Year | Tuition (USD) |

| Year 1 | 75,000 |
| Year 2 | 75,000 |
| Year 3 | 75,000 |
| Year 4 | 75,000 |
| Final year | 37,500 |
| Total course tuition | USD 337,500 |

At an exchange rate around ₹87 to the dollar, USD 75,000 is roughly ₹65 lakh a year — about 2.7 times the general-category tuition. NRI seats are allotted through the same MCC counselling under the NRI quota, against documented NRI status. Detail and eligibility: Santosh NRI quota fees.
Is the fee negotiable?
No, and this is worth being blunt about. Deemed-university fees are notified and appear in the MCC fee table at the time of counselling. The college cannot discount them for you, and no consultant can negotiate them down. If someone tells you they can get you a lower fee, or a seat at a fee below the notified rate, they are describing a transaction that would be outside the counselling process — which is the definition of the thing the anti-capitation laws prohibit.
What does vary legitimately is the fee category of the seat you are allotted. Deemed universities have institutional seats at the notified rate and NRI seats at the NRI rate; which one you land on is a function of the MCC round and your rank, not of negotiation.
Santosh Deemed University MBBS fees against the alternatives
| Santosh (deemed) | Typical UP private college | Government college, UP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual tuition | ₹24,00,000 | ₹11,00,000 – ₹18,00,000 | ₹25,000 – ₹80,000 |
| Counselling route | MCC only | UP state counselling | UP state / AIQ |
| State domicile helps | No | Yes, 85% state quota | Yes |
| Realistic UR rank | ~5,00,000 – 6,30,000 | Varies widely | Under ~26,000 for AIQ |
The trade is explicit: at Santosh you are buying rank tolerance with money. That is a legitimate decision for some families and a ruinous one for others, and the honest thing any adviser can do is help you work out which. If the number on this page is out of reach, MBBS admission with a low NEET score covers the cheaper routes, including state counselling and the repeat-attempt maths.
