View Poll Results: Is engineering fee hike just?

**adithegame** · 07-06-2012, 12:55 AM

hello, I am a student of reputed engineering college in mumbai. Since, I have joined the college, my college has hiked the fees by telling that it is the decision of Shikshan Shulk Samiti (SSS). Initially i paid the amount as told, then after some days the asked us to again pay the difference. As a student we dont understand what exactly the samiti does and what are they hiking fees for? Next thing is that, i'm a direct second year student (after Diploma) and my fees is more than he other regular students (from 1st year). now what i dont understand is, is it right to ask for more fees and hike the fees regularly ever year ? Is it just to use the same resources as other students in class but still pay atleast 10000 more than them ? what exactly does shikshan shulk samiti does? can i file an RTI again college to know the reason for hike in fees at and difference in fees as compared to other students in class?

RTI will get you the information IF that is HELD on the record .
You may seek :
1. documents showing reasons for increase in fee
2. documents showing the reasons for different slab of fee for direct enterants .
3. certified copies of Rules showing .......

But I would suggest get in touch with a Consumer Activist of the area .

Better you prefer the RTI application before the PIO of the shikshan shulk samitigiving details of college. There is no reason for different fees for +2 entrants and post diploma entrants. If it is NMIMS, the structure of fee is different from normal engg colleges, since the course is MBA-Tech.
