IP university issues fixed fee structure

Updated on: Thursday, December 08, 2011

Cracking the whip against unregulated fee structure in private colleges, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has issued a fixed fee structure for the 2012-13 admission session as per its new admission policy.

The university started admission process for its MBA courses for the year 2012-13 from December 2, 2011 with the sale of prospectus.

As per the new admission policy, apart from the fee being specified by the university prospectus, the colleges too would have to declare the same in their profiles and will not be allowed to charge anything over and above what has been specified.

The university prospectus will notify the fee structure for each course to be offered by the university and its affiliated colleges. The university at present has 103 affiliated colleges.

"In the coming admission session the students will not have to face any uncertainty as the university prospectuses will have complete details of fees. The colleges can't charge anything extra apart from the specified fee, Rs 1,000 student activity fee and one time refundable fee of Rs 5,000. The fee structure is based on the Delhi government's State Fee Committee's decision," said Colonel Pradeep Upamanyu, joint registrar, academics.

The actual fee structure though will vary from college to college as the State Fee Committee, constituted in 2008, has divided the colleges in four categories - 'A+', 'A', 'B' and 'C'.

The colleges with best infrastructure for example are in the top category which is 'A+'. Therefore the fees to be charged by the 'A+' category colleges will be higher than the 'A' category colleges.

"The fee structure of the SFC has been in place since 2009-10, but was not followed. The university has not decided to disseminate the information to the students," said Upamanyu. According to university sources, the administration has received many complaints of anomalies with students being forced to shell out exorbitant amount under various heads like development fees, library fees, among others.
