LUMS charges tuition by the credit hour: Rs 45,800 per credit hour in FY 2026-27, the same for every undergraduate programme. Each semester also carries a Rs 56,100 registration fee, and science and engineering students pay an SBASSE fee of Rs 134,600 a semester on top. A BS Computer Science student with 18 credit hours in Fall 2026 pays Rs 1,258,700 for the first semester, including the admission fee and the refundable general security.
Pick your programme and semester, and enter your credit hours if your load differs from the first-year plan. Tick the hostel box to add a room for each semester. The whole-degree figure uses your programme's graduation credit hours at this year's rate; change it under "Whole degree" if your roadmap differs.

LUMS usually announces fees once a year and can revise them, so the later years of a degree normally cost more than this estimate at today's rate.
Charges besides tuition
The general security is refundable. Only the five science and engineering programmes in the table (SBASSE) pay the SBASSE fee; law students pay the Pakistan Bar Council fee once.
| Charge | When | Rs |
|---|---|---|
| Admission fee | Once, with the first semester | 176,600 |
| General security (refundable) | Once, with the first semester | 67,000 |
| Semester registration fee | Every semester | 56,100 |
| SBASSE fee (BS Computer Science) | Every semester | 134,600 |
| SBASSE fee (BS Electrical Engineering) | Every semester | 134,600 |
| SBASSE fee (BS Chemical Engineering) | Every semester | 134,600 |
| SBASSE fee (BS Biology) | Every semester | 134,600 |
| SBASSE fee (BS Mathematics) | Every semester | 134,600 |
| Pakistan Bar Council fee (BA-LL.B (Honours)) | Once, with the first semester | 3,000 |
How a LUMS semester fee is worked out
Semester fee = credit hours × Rs 45,800 + registration fee + school fee (SBASSE only).
The first-year fee table of each programme sets the credit hours for Fall and Spring, and these differ by school:
| School | Fall 2026 | Spring 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Science and Engineering (SBASSE) | 18 | 16 |
| Business (SDSB) | 17 | 16 |
| Humanities and Social Sciences (MGSHSS) | 16 | 16 |
| Law (SAHSOL) | 16 | 16 |
The admission fee of Rs 176,600 and the general security of Rs 67,000 are paid once, with the first semester. Each extra credit hour you register adds Rs 45,800, so a lighter or heavier load changes the fee straight away.

LUMS fee questions
What is the LUMS fee per semester?
It depends on your credit hours and school. At Rs 45,800 per credit hour plus the Rs 56,100 registration fee, a 16 credit hour semester in business or social sciences is Rs 788,900. Science and engineering adds the SBASSE fee, so the same load in BS Computer Science is Rs 923,500.
How much is LUMS per credit hour in 2026-27?
Rs 45,800 for every undergraduate programme in FY 2026-27. LUMS publishes the rate on each programme's fee table along with the first-year credit hours, so a semester's tuition is simply your registered credit hours multiplied by this rate.
What is the total fee for BS Computer Science at LUMS?
At this year's rates, the 130 credit hour degree costs about Rs 7,723,200 with the admission fee, registration fees, SBASSE fees and security, before any hostel. The first year alone is Rs 1,258,700 in Fall plus Rs 923,500 in Spring. Rates are revised each year, so plan for more.
What is the LUMS LLB fee structure?
The BA-LL.B is charged at the same Rs 45,800 per credit hour, with 16 credit hours in each semester of the first year and no school fee. The first semester also carries a Rs 3,000 Pakistan Bar Council fee, making it Rs 1,035,500. The degree needs 146 to 148 credit hours.
Is the LUMS general security refundable?
Yes. The Rs 67,000 general security is paid once with the first semester and is refundable; the Rs 176,600 admission fee is not. The calculator shows the degree total both with and without the security.
What do I pay before admission to LUMS?
The application processing fee is Rs 12,500 for Pakistani applicants, plus Rs 7,500 for the LUMS Common Admission Test where your programme needs it. Neither is part of the semester fee or refundable once the application is submitted.
