Pearl Academy Courses & Fee Structure

Start with the campus and programme row

Pearl Academy publishes tuition by campus, programme and semester rather than one institution-wide price. Its fee page was checked on 7 November 2026; the page itself does not label the table with an academic year. Treat the figures below as the amounts currently posted on that page, not as a guaranteed quotation for every later batch. The academy also states that fees may increase in subsequent years, so a semester amount is not a fixed four-year total.

A useful like-for-like comparison is the B.Des in Fashion Design. The posted schedule lists a one-time fee of ₹85,000 and ₹3,93,900 for each of Semesters 1 and 2 at Delhi-West, Delhi-South, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Jaipur lists the same one-time amount and ₹3,46,100 for each of the first two semesters. These entries show why a campus must be checked before comparing offers: even for the same named programme, the posted semester charges differ by location. The page does not provide a fixed all-years total in these rows, and its annual-increase note means multiplying the present semester amount across the whole degree would overstate certainty.

TableCards

Programme example	Campus	One-time fee	Semester 1	Semester 2
B.Des in Fashion Design	Delhi-West, Delhi-South, Bengaluru, Mumbai	₹85,000	₹3,93,900	₹3,93,900
B.Des in Fashion Design	Jaipur	₹85,000	₹3,46,100	₹3,46,100
BBA	Delhi-South	₹85,000	₹1,86,200	₹1,86,200
MBA	Delhi-South	₹85,000	₹2,87,600	₹2,87,600

The rows are examples, not a complete programme catalogue. The published table contains separate course entries and its page-level description says fees depend on course and campus. Check the exact named programme row in the official fee page before accepting an offer; do not transfer the BBA, MBA or Jaipur rates to another location or specialisation.

For a rough consistency check, the four-year B.Des upper-end figure in Pearl’s 2026–27 FAQ is ₹31.51 lakh. Eight semesters at the presently listed ₹3,93,900 rate would total ₹31,51,200 before the separately displayed ₹85,000 one-time fee. That arithmetic is close to the FAQ range, but the FAQ does not say whether its total includes the one-time charge, and the schedule warns that fees may rise in later years. Treat this as a cross-check between two official displays, not as a final invoice or a fixed four-year quote.

What the published fee rows include

The table separates One Time Fees, Sem 1 Fees and Sem 2 Fees. It does not break the one-time figure into named components in the table. The instruction block says registration and alumni fees are paid once at admission, but it does not say those are the only components of the one-time total. Ask Pearl for an itemised statement for the exact course before treating ₹85,000 as a refundable deposit or adding it to a tuition-only comparison.

Pearl says the security deposit is refundable after course completion. It also says later-year fees may increase at the discretion of the Creative Arts Education Society. That makes the first two semester columns useful for an initial comparison, but not a promise of unchanged Semesters 3 onward. Request the full semester schedule, one-time charges, security deposit and refund conditions in writing before paying. Degree-programme admission fee refunds are stated to follow UGC guidelines; the academy lists separate refund guidance for its 11-month professional certificate courses.

The page says Semester 1 and the one-time amount can be paid online or by demand draft. Online application and payment instructions are on Pearl’s admissions dates and guidelines. Keep the application charge separate from tuition: it is a non-refundable form fee, whereas the fee table is for programme charges. A scholarship or loan is also a separate decision. Check the current scholarship conditions and award letter for eligibility and amount rather than subtracting a possible award from the published price in advance.

Professional certificate prices are a separate category

Pearl lists three 11-month Professional Certificate Courses with a programme fee of ₹4,44,778 including GST: Fashion and Celebrity Makeup & Hair, Styling for Interiors, and Fashion Design for Women’s Wear. The table uses a single course-fee column rather than the degree page’s one-time and semester columns. Do not compare that single certificate price with one semester of a B.Des or MBA. The fee page separately describes a six-month no-cost EMI arrangement through GrayQuest for Professional Certificate Courses; check the provider’s current terms and the course’s payment link before relying on an instalment plan.

Confirm availability before comparing costs

Pearl’s campus selector lists Delhi-West, Delhi-South, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Jaipur, and the official course catalogue covers several design and business routes. The same programme name can have different listed charges by campus; some specialisations appear only in selected campus tables. Use the campus tabs on the fee page and the “Program offered at” field in the application portal to confirm the combination you want. If a programme is absent from a campus table, do not infer availability from a different campus’s row.

The fee page also says its figures may rise annually. Its separate 2026–27 fee FAQ gives broad course-level totals, while the campus fee tables expose one-time and semester amounts. Those formats answer different questions. For a personal budget, ask admissions to reconcile the exact course, campus, full duration, yearly increases, one-time components, deposit and available aid on one written quotation. This is more reliable than multiplying one semester’s present amount by the full duration or using an academy-wide range as the price of a particular campus offer.
