Admission Fees, Admission Process, “No Fees Stress” Policy, and Reporting Date for College of Education Freshers
This year, one question echoes in the minds of students and parents: “Are we going to pay admission fees?”
The truth is, admission fees are rarely just one payment. They often include tuition fees, examination fees, utility charges, and other related costs. Together, these payments form what many people call “admission fees.”
This year, the government has introduced the “No Fees Stress Policy.” The idea is to ease the financial burden on students by covering or securing part of the first-year tuition. However, this does not mean students will study completely free.
Two Possible Scenarios for Admission Fees
Based on what has happened in previous years, two outcomes are likely:
- Students may still pay fees upfront and later get refunded.
- Some first-year (Level 100) students in the past had to pay initially, only to receive refunds later. Unfortunately, not everyone got refunded on time.
- Students may pay only part of the fees.
- Even with government support, charges like examination fees, utility bills, or other administrative costs may remain the student’s responsibility.
Why You Should Still Prepare to Pay
While the No Fees Stress Policy is encouraging, it’s always wise to prepare financially.
Imagine receiving your admission SMS with the instruction: “Pay this amount to secure your spot.” If you don’t have the money ready, you could lose your admission opportunity.
That’s why applicants should save some money in advance, just in case.
Admission Process Timeline
- The admission process is expected to begin in early October 2025.
- Successful applicants will receive SMS messages or phone calls confirming their admission.
- Some may also be required to make payments promptly to secure their spot.
Proposed Reporting Date
It has been proposed that freshers will report on 11th November 2025.
However, this is not a confirmed date. The official reporting date will be clearly stated in your admission letter, so make sure to read it carefully.
Advice to All Applicants
- Save some money for admission fees, even if you expect government support.
- Read your admission SMS carefully. If it asks you to pay, make sure you do so on time.
- Check your admission letter for the official reporting date—don’t rely only on rumors.
- Don’t assume all costs are covered. Government support may only apply to part of the fees.
- Share information with fellow applicants to ensure no one is left unprepared.
Final Thoughts
The government’s No Fees Stress Policy is a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t mean zero cost. Applicants should remain proactive—save money, stay alert, and be ready to act quickly when admissions are announced.
Being prepared means you won’t miss out on your dream of entering a College of Education.
Stay informed. Stay prepared. And don’t forget to share this with other applicants waiting for admission.
