Fees

The fee structure at VIPS-TC is established in accordance with the guidelines set by the State Fee Regulatory Committee and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU). The total annual fee is a composite of several components, including tuition fees, university charges, a one-time refundable security deposit, and a one-time alumni contribution fund.

Admissions are conducted through the centralized counseling process of GGSIPU, and the fee must be paid according to the prescribed schedule to secure enrollment. While the tuition fee remains the primary component, the university charges are collected annually on behalf of GGSIPU to cover examination and enrollment services.

Admission Process & Eligibility

Admissions to VIPS-TC are strictly governed by the centralized online counseling process conducted by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU).

1. Step 1: Entrance Exam Registration: Depending on the course, candidates must register and appear for the relevant national exam (JEE Main, CLAT, NIMCET) or the IPU CET / CUET.
2. Step 2: GGSIPU Application: Candidates must fill out the GGSIPU online application form and pay the registration fee (typically around INR 1,500) to participate in the university's admission process.
3. Step 3: Centralized Counselling: After results are declared, eligible candidates must register for GGSIPU online counseling (paying a separate counseling participation fee). During the choice-filling phase, candidates must prioritize "VIPS-TC" for their desired courses and shifts.
4. Step 4: Seat Allotment & Verification: Seats are allotted based on merit, category, and availability. Once allotted a seat at VIPS, candidates must pay a part-academic fee online to freeze the seat and subsequently report physically to the VIPS campus for document verification.

Scholarship Programs & Details

VIPS-TC demonstrates a commitment to making professional education accessible through various financial assistance schemes. The institution follows a comprehensive financial aid policy by actively guiding students to apply for external, state, and central government scholarship schemes.

• Post Matric Scholarship for SC/ST/OBC Students: Government-funded programs providing financial relief to students belonging to reserved categories based on family income criteria.
• Merit-cum-Means Linked Financial Assistance Scheme: Facilitated through the Delhi Higher Education Aid Trust, this scheme is designed for students enrolled in state universities in Delhi who demonstrate high academic performance but face financial constraints.
• Central Sector Scheme of Scholarship: Aimed at university students who score above the 80th percentile in their respective Board of Examinations.

Cutoff & Admission Trends

Because VIPS is one of the top-ranked colleges under GGSIPU, the admission cutoffs are notoriously competitive, particularly for its flagship Law, B.Tech, and Journalism programs. The university uses a mix of national-level exams and the university's own common entrance tests.

• Exams Accepted: JEE Main (for B.Tech), CLAT UG/PG (for Law), NIMCET (for MCA), IPU CET & CUET (for BBA, BCA, B.Com, BA JMC).
• General Category Cutoff: For highly coveted courses like BA LLB and BBA LLB, the CLAT closing ranks for Delhi candidates typically wrap up quite early during IPU counseling. Similarly, for BBA and BCA, top ranks in the IPU CET are required to secure a seat in the first or second shift.
• Outside Delhi Quota: GGSIPU reserves 85% of its seats for Delhi candidates. The remaining 15% (Outside Delhi quota) sees intense competition with significantly higher cutoff thresholds.
• Trends: With the recent inclusion of CUET scores for vacant seats, the admission pathways have broadened, but IPU CET and national exams (JEE/CLAT) remain the primary and preferred gateways.
