The fee structure for Allied Health Science Optometry at Jain University varies. According to the available data, the yearly fee range for  programs in Jain University is between INR 1,50,000 to 2,50,000. However, for  Optometry specifically, the annual tuition fee is around INR 1,75,000.

Please note that these fees might not reflect the exact amount for the 2020 academic year, and additional fees like admission fees, caution fees, and miscellaneous fees may apply. I recommend verifying the fees with Jain University directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
