How DU SOL structures its fees

DU SOL operates under the Department of Distance and Continuing Education at the University of Delhi and publishes a separate prospectus for UG, PG, MBA, MBA HCA (Healthcare Administration) and library-science programmes for 2026-27.

Fees are charged annually rather than per semester, and the published total already bundles tuition, welfare funds, development funds, facilities charges and the examination fee for that year.
