Students were surprised to find the enhanced fee while filling up the web options as there was no intimation from the government. The officials, without making it public, uploaded the enhanced fee on the website. The new fee will be applicable to engineering and pharmacy courses. The increased fee will be applicable for JNTU Hyderabad campus college and also in the university colleges in Manthani, Sultanpur, Jagityal and Sircilla. The OU College of Engineering has also increased the fee while colleges in Kakatiya University and Mahatma Gandhi University have refrained from doing so.
