• Average Annual Hostel Charges: Based on student reviews and available data for the KSLU campus and affiliated colleges, the annual charges for accommodation (room rent and basic amenities) can range from ₹60,000 to ₹1,93,000 per year.

• KSLU Campus Hostel Fees (Estimated): Some reports suggest the annual fees for the KSLU Law School hostel can be around ₹1,93,000 for both boys and girls, which generally includes boarding and lodging.

• Affiliated College Hostels/PGs: The charges for hostels and external PGs around affiliated colleges can be lower, sometimes starting from ₹7,000 per month (approximately ₹84,000 annually), depending on the facilities.

Students must confirm the exact KSLU hostel fees directly with the specific college they are admitted to, as charges differ significantly between the main campus and its affiliated institutions.

KSLU Fees Payment Guidelines

Payment of KSLU fees is generally managed through the respective affiliated college's procedures, though the University may issue guidelines for certain centralized fees. Students are advised to follow these payment instructions carefully to ensure a smooth admission process:

• Online Payment: Most colleges affiliated with KSLU facilitate online fee payment through bank portals, debit/credit cards, or net banking, accessible via the college's or university's official website.

• Offline Payment: Fees can usually be paid offline through a Demand Draft (DD) drawn in favour of the Principal/Dean of the respective affiliated college, payable in the city of the college's location (often Hubballi or Bangalore). Bank Challans are also a common method for direct deposits.

• Application Fee: For admission, the KSLU application fee is typically around ₹1,000 for General category candidates and ₹500 for SC/ST candidates, payable online or via DD/Challan.

• Late Fee Policy: Students must strictly adhere to the fee submission deadlines. Failure to pay academic or examination fees by the stipulated date may result in a late fee (fine) as prescribed by the University.

KSLU Scholarships & Financial Aid

KSLU, as a state university, and its affiliated colleges offer several scholarship and financial aid opportunities, primarily based on government schemes and academic merit, to make the KSLU fees accessible to all deserving students.

• Government of Karnataka Scholarships: The university actively facilitates students in applying for various State Government-sponsored scholarships through the State Scholarship Portal (SSP). These include:

  • Post-Metric Scholarships: Available for SC/ST, OBC, and minority students from the Government of Karnataka.

  • Vidyasiri: A program that offers financial aid for boarding and lodging for students from economically weaker sections.

• Central Government Scholarships: Students can also apply for scholarships under schemes by the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Department of Higher Education via the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), provided they meet the eligibility criteria.

• Merit-based Concessions: Some affiliated colleges offer tuition fee waivers or cash prizes (Endowment/Alumni) to students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance by securing the highest marks in their class or stream.

• Caste and Category-based Concessions: SC/ST, Cat-I, and OBC students often benefit from significantly reduced fee structures or substantial fee reimbursements from the government, making the overall cost for these categories very low.
