Studying at IIMs and IITs to get costlier
Bangalore: The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry has issued a direction to the autonomous and statutory bodies, including IITs and central universities, to explore the option of generating resources by revising tuition fee of students and impose charges for using certain facilities.
"Given the constraints of resources leading to mandatory cuts in non-salary expenditure, it is expected that the institutions would make efforts to generate additional resources by gradual revision of tuition fees, levy of user fees, withdrawal of hostel subsidies and other measures," said RP Agarwal, Secretary of Higher Education.
The Ministry has said that there shall be mandatory cut of 10 percent in non-plan expenditure in 2009-10. The cut will be realized from the expenses on domestic and foreign travel, publications, advertising and publicity and office expenses. These strict measures taken by the Government might lead to increase in tuition fee, withdrawal of hostel subsidies and compulsory user fees from students in the central universities, IITs, IIMs and other autonomous educational institutions.
