No increase in engineering college fees this academic year
The Hindu
But eligible colleges can charge up to ₹20,000 for skill development
Citing the impact of COVID-19 on students and their families, the State government has decided that there will be no hike in engineering college fees for the current 2021-2022 academic year. But that does not mean that all students will incur no additional expenditure.
The government has allowed some engineering colleges to charge up to ₹20,000 as skill development fees. This is applicable to those colleges that have skill development laboratories. Skill fees will be categorised into three slabs, based on which managements can charge students ₹10,000, ₹15,000, or ₹20,000.
Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan said a team from Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) will inspect colleges and categorise them based on the standard of training facilities and quality. Students will have to pay the skill development fees directly to the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA).
