Application fee
CNY 400 Ningbo University of Technology charges an application fee of CNY 400. All three of its 2026 admission brochures state the figure: the English fee table lists "Application Fee (Not Refundable) CNY400" and the Chinese table lists 申请费 400元, while the application-steps section says applicants must "pay the application fee (400 RMB), accommodation fee (2400 RMB) and insurance (1200 RMB) to the university's bank account within the specified time". This is an application fee and not tuition: tuition is listed separately as CNY 18,000 or 20,000 per year for undergraduate programmes, CNY 20,000 per year for postgraduate programmes and CNY 12,000 per year for the language programme, all recorded under tuition instead.
