Online BA Fees 2026: University-wise Fees & EMI

Complete Online BA fee structure for 2026 — university-wise total fee, per-semester fee, EMI options and what is included.

Online BA fees

Online BA fees are set by each university, so there is no single national price. The comparison below shows the figures each university publishes.

  • • Most universities allow semester-wise payment, and many offer no-cost EMI through a financing partner.
  • • Registration, examination, study-material and technology charges may sit outside the advertised tuition fee — always ask for the all-inclusive total.
  • • Scholarships and category concessions, where available, apply to the tuition component and are subject to the university's own conditions.
  • • Every figure is manually researched from the official university website; where a university does not publish one, the table shows "Not specified" instead of an estimate.

What the BA fee table actually tells you

Across 29 universities publishing a full Online BA fee, the spread runs from ₹9,600 at BAOU to ₹1,35,000 at Chandigarh University — a difference of ₹1,25,400 for the same UGC-entitled degree. The median sits at ₹30,360, which is the number to judge any quote against: anything far above it should be buying you something specific such as placement support, a stronger NAAC grade or an industry-certified elective track.

31 of 33 fees on this page are verified against the university's own published schedule, and 5 universities publish a monthly EMI figure rather than only a lump-sum total. Registration, examination and application charges are billed separately by most universities, so the "total programme fee" column below is the comparable figure — not the amount you pay on day one.

Online BA FAQs

It is the Bachelor of Arts degree studied through a university's online mode, with digital classes, study material, assignments and university-specified examinations. The degree is awarded by the university itself.

Validity depends on the university and on the regulatory entitlement or approval that applies to that specific programme for your admission period. Verify the status for the exact university, programme and academic year before enrolling.

Recognition is programme-specific, not universal. Check the university's UGC entitlement status for the online mode, for the BA specifically, and for your admission year, rather than assuming it from the university's overall reputation.

Three years across six semesters in most programmes. Some universities publish a maximum permissible duration that allows completion over a longer period under a credit-based system.

A pass in 10+2 from a recognised board, in any stream, is the common requirement. Minimum marks and any subject-specific condition are set by each university.

Fees are set by each university, so the range is wide. The university comparison on this page shows the published figure for each programme in our dataset, and marks anything we could not verify as "Not specified".

Not sure which Online BA to pick?

Compare the universities above on fee, entitlement status and specialisation, or talk to a counsellor who will walk you through the shortlist. No cost, no obligation.
