Students joining the engineering course this year have to brace up for higher fees denting their parents’ pockets. All the top colleges have sought a considerable spike in fee and secured favour from the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC).
Though the meetings with college managements are already over to finalise each college’s fee structure, the TAFRC is yet to announce the figures officially. The report has to be sent to the government which issues separate GOs for all the colleges since the fee varies from one college to another.
Sources said that this year, students can expect an average 20% hike while for top colleges it is likely to be enhanced by nearly 30 to 40%. About 7 to 8 colleges are said to be in the fee structure of above ₹1.5 lakh this year, including CBIT, MGIT, CVR College of Engineering, Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology, and a couple of other colleges. The VNR Vignan Jyothi college is said to be going for an appeal as the enhancement is not to their liking.
