Why the Five-Year Length Matters for the Fee<\/b><\/h2>\n

A fee quoted per year only tells you the full cost when you know how many years you pay for. The UGC degree notification of 27 August 2026 lists the Bachelor of Optometry as a 5-year degree after 10+2, and it notes that the duration has been increased from 4 years to 5 years. If you find an older fee figure for a 4-year optometry degree, check whether it still applies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask every college whether the quoted fee is per year or for the whole course, and whether the final internship year carries a fee. At Apollo Healthcare Academy, the programme page states the fee as \u20b92.5 lakh per year. Please confirm the current fee with each institution once before you decide.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme fee for the B.Optom at Apollo Healthcare Academy is \u20b92.5 lakh per year. Merit scholarships are given on a composite score, as a waiver on the programme fee:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Scholarships go to the highest composite scores first, until 10% of the intake is filled. Meeting the score does not guarantee a scholarship once that limit is reached.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Optometry Scholarship Is Calculated<\/b><\/h2>\n

The composite score is 50% of your AHA Scholarship Test score plus 50% of your Class 12 aggregate percentage, as declared by your board. You must appear for the AHA Scholarship Test to be considered. If two candidates have the same composite score, the one with the higher Scholarship Test score is preferred, then the one with higher Class 12 marks in science subjects, then the one who applied earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scholarships are awarded and administered by the partner university, and they cannot be transferred to another person. If admission is not confirmed within the deadline, the scholarship may be offered to the next eligible candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping the Scholarship in Later Years<\/b><\/h2>\n

The scholarship continues in later years only if you meet these conditions:<\/span><\/p>\n
