Cost of studying Public Relations and list of institutes

What is the cost of doing a PR course? Is there any scholarship programme that I can avail?

The pricing structure of a good PR course is variable. It totally depends upon the college you choose. It can range from R. 10,000/- to Rs. 40,000/- per annum. For example, if you have been selected with St. Xavier’s college, Mumbai, which is affiliated with the University of Mumbai, the fees is around Rs. 12,000/- per year. However, private colleges charge a huge amount of sum from students. Thus it is advisable to do such a course from a college affiliated by a renowned university.

If you wish to finance your PR course, you may try availing educational loans offered by various banks. They allow you to repay the money back after you complete your education or by working while you study as well. State Bank of India offers a maximum loan upto Rs. 7,50,000/-.
