Why is there a difference between the discounted tuition fees and the tuition fees amount?

The difference exists because many colleges use "tuition discounting" - they reduce the official tuition fee through scholarships, grants, or financial aid to attract and support students.

For example, a university may list a tuition fee of ₹10,00,000/year, but after scholarships, a student might pay only ₹6,00,000/year. This lower amount is the discounted tuition.

- Attracts students by making education more affordable.
- Supports diversity by helping students from various backgrounds.
- Boosts enrollment for institutions.

The discounted fee reflects the actual cost after financial support is applied, making higher education more accessible.
