IP varsity hikes fees from new session

The Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University has revised its admission fee for fresh admissions for the 2016-17 academic sessions. The new fee structure will be based on the recommendations of the Delhi Fee Regulatory Commission. With new fee structure in place, students will have to pay Rs 70,000, an increase of about Rs 30,000, at the time of their admission. The directorate of higher education for 74 private educational institutes affiliated to IP University has issued a notification to this effect.

Early this year, revision of the admission fee for IP University affiliated private institutes had forced the AAP government to roll back its decision. Soon after the government had notified revised fee structure, students had lodged strong protest against it. Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had himself ordered to roll back the revised fee structure. After this, education minister Manish Sisodia had issued clear directions to IP University to roll back the revised fee hike. He had also made it clear that no action should be taken against any student.

With the new notification in place, a student who wants to pursue LLB from Amity Law School, Noida, will now end up paying Rs 63,400 for one academic session. Earlier, the same course used to cost Rs 55,200 for one session. Those paying Rs 79,062 for B.Tech in Bharti Vidyapeeth College of Engineering in Paschim Vihar, will have to pay Rs 97,700. In the same institute, those pursuing MCA will have to pay Rs 1,20,000, an increase of Rs 33,700.

For BBA, a student who used to pay Rs 48,300 in 2011-12 to the Delhi Institute of Rural Development in Nangli Poona village will now have to pay Rs 55,500 for each academic session. Banarsidass Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology, Ashram Kalkaji, has hiked fee from the existing Rs 82,500 to Rs 99,000 for BHMCT course. It has also hiked fee from Rs 96,600 to Rs 1,20,000 for the MCA course.

The Vastu Kala Academy at Asaf Ali Road too has hiked fee from the existing Rs 45,000 to 1,00,000 for B.Arch course. Guru Nanak Institute of Management in Punjabi Bagh has also increased fee from Rs 86,250 to Rs 1,03,200 for MCA course.
