All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has taken exception to the proposal made by the Higher Education Council Expert Committee on introducing uniform fee structure for graduate and postgraduate courses offered by State universities.
In a press release issued here on Thursday, district secretary of AIDSO Shashikala Meti has termed the proposal by the committee to streamline the fee structure by fixing it starting at ₹11,500 to various degree and postgraduate courses in public universities in the state as unacceptable.
She said that the fee structure in public universities is already over 300% of the fees of government degree colleges. And, it has already resulted in admissions going down drastically. This apart, several degree colleges have now been converted into cluster universities. The fee structure in degree colleges will now begin at ₹10,000. This will mean that poor students will no longer be able to afford higher education, she has said in the release.
