increase of fees

In response to the recommendations made by National Knowledge Commission (NKC) for increasing fees in universities to meet at least 20 per cent of their total expenditure, the union HRD Ministry ruled out any possibility of increase of fees in universities.The NKC had finalized, earlier this year and recommended a more rational fee structure for resource generation. "As a norm, fees should meet at least 20 per cent of the total expenditure in universities. This should be subject to two conditions: needy students should be provided with a fee waiver plus scholarships to meet their costs and universities should not be penalised by the University Grants Commission for the resources raised from higher fees through matching deductions from their grants-in-aid.
