Fee hike is routine, not a major increase in majority courses: Delhi University

DU on Friday downplayed concerns about the recent fee hikes for several undergraduate and postgraduate courses, emphasising that the increases are routine and not a significant burden on students. The university plans to increase fees for several of its undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including B.Tech, Law, and some PhD programmes, in the new session. The new fee structure will see first-year B.Tech students paying 3.7 per cent more, with fees rising from Rs 2.16 lakh to Rs 2.24 lakh.
