Hostel & Mess Charges
Hostel rooms at KUDS come in various configurations, including single occupancy, double occupancy, and triple occupancy options. Each room is equipped with essential furniture and internet connectivity.
The mess billing system operates on a monthly cycle, where students pay an advance for meals based on their consumption patterns. The university provides detailed reports to ensure transparency and accountability.
Rebate policies allow students to receive refunds for unused portions of their mess advance if they leave campus temporarily or during holidays. These rebates are calculated based on the number of days absent from the hostel.

For SC/ST/PwD students, fee waivers are available based on their category and family income. The maximum waiver can be up to 100% of the total fees for eligible students.
EWS students receive a concession of 50% of the tuition fee if their annual income falls below Rs. 8 lakhs. This benefit is subject to verification through official documents.
MCM (Minority Community Students) are entitled to a 25% reduction in fees under specific conditions, including family income and educational background.
Merit-based scholarships are awarded annually based on academic excellence and performance in competitive exams. These scholarships range from 25% to 100% of the tuition fee for top-performing students.
Payment Procedures & Refund Policy
All fees must be paid within the specified deadlines to avoid late charges and penalties. Students are advised to monitor their payment status regularly via the online portal.
Late payments attract a fixed percentage of interest per month, which is clearly indicated on the fee receipt. Students who fail to pay within two weeks may face suspension from classes until payment is made.
Upon withdrawal from the university, students are eligible for refunds based on the refund policy outlined by the administration. Refunds are processed within 30 days of submission of required documents and approval from the finance department.
