All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has condemned the State Government proposal on increasing fees under government quota for engineering courses by 10% and subsequent 10% hike every year.
In a press release here, district vice-president of AIDSO Shashikala Meti has said that as per media reports, in the meeting with the State Government, the managements of private engineering colleges proposed to increase the fee for engineering courses under KCET from Rs.65,300 to Rs.71,896 and under COMED-K from Rs.1,43,748 to Rs.1,58,123.
It has also been proposed to hike the fee under additional fee category under KCET from Rs.58,806 to Rs.65,686 and under COMED-K from Rs.2,01,960 to Rs.2,22,156. This apart, it has also been proposed to hike the fee structure by 10% every year. These developments are nothing but a great shock to poor meritorious students who wanted to pursue engineering studies.
