PAY AS YOU GO
SBSM has introduced the PAY AS YOU GO option. Here, the students can conveniently pay their fees as they attend the lessons. To start, the students will be required to pay fees for two sessions in advance. After this, they can pay for one session before they attend a new session. They should obtain the availability status of their teacher before they pay for sessions.
Pt. Sanjoy Bandopadhyay teaches Instrumental Music, and the Pay As You Go fees for two sessions are Rs. 2250 x 2 = Rs. 4500.
For other teachers, the Pay As You Go fees for two sessions payable in advance will be Rs. 1200 x 2= Rs. 2400.
