Overview

  • JNU’s new tiered tuition cuts of 33% to 80% take effect this academic year to boost faltering international enrolments.
  • Students from SAARC nations will pay $200 per semester for humanities and $300 for science instead of $700 for both.
  • African and Latin American students now face fees of $300 for humanities and $400 for science, marking an 80% reduction.
  • West Asian students will be charged $500 for humanities and $600 for science, while all other foreign students pay $1,000 and $1,250 respectively.
  • The overhaul aligns with NEP 2020’s call for inclusive global classrooms after foreign enrolment fell from 152 in 2020–21 to 51 in 2023–24 and the number of sending countries dropped from 14 to 8.
