In a huge relief to students of the graduate and under graduate streams, the Jiwaji University is all set to initiate a uniform fees structure for all graduate and under graduate courses being run by its affiliated colleges in the Gwalior Chambal Division.
laying down the uniform fees criteria, the Jiwaji University’s fees policy for the next academic year says that no college can impose any additional fees other than the one fixed by the University.
Prof DD Agarwal, Director, College Development Council will be issuing letters to all private colleges under the Jiwaji University, asking them to furnish details about the number of students in their colleges, the fee structure and complete information about the services that are provided to the students.
While some colleges in the Gwalior Chambal Division charge between 6000 and 10000 for a UG course, the fees in some other colleges is more than Rs 25000. The University, through this initiative aims to put an end to this disparity.
Four months back the Department of Higher Education, Government of Madhya Pradesh had issued circulars to all universities in the state to formulate a uniform fee policy for all colleges affiliated to them.
Subsequently the Executive Council of JU passed a resolution to formulate a uniform fee policy. Sources in the Jiwaji University said that it will take around five months for all the formalities to be completed and the uniform fee structure will come into effect from the next academic session.
Speaking to the media persons, Prof DD Agarwal, Director, College Development Council said that the process of unifying the fee structure of all college under JU’s jurisdiction has begun. He added that letters to this effect will be sent to all colleges within the next three days and the final process will be initiated after getting the responses. He added that once the procedure is put in force, the colleges will be informed not to charge any other fee other than the one fixed by the University.
