NUMS publishes one figure that matters most to a new student: the total at admission. For BS Psychology it is Rs 141,000, made of Rs 102,000 tuition for the first semester plus admission, registration and security. Doctor of Physical Therapy costs Rs 184,000 at admission and the BSc (Hons) Nursing programme Rs 120,800.
Pick your programme to see what you pay at admission and the tuition for each later semester. The NUMS aggregate calculator works out merit for the NUMS entrance test. MBBS and BDS fees are not part of this table, because NUMS fills those seats through centralised admission to its colleges.
