Indian Government is set to fix minimum and maximum annual fee slabs for engineering and management courses. While the maximum charge slab had been established previously, this is the first time that ideas for a minimum price have been made.
According to the media, the education ministry has accepted the recommendation of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to set a minimum yearly cost of almost Rs 68,000 for an engineering course in India.
The AICTE's panel report included recommendations for setting a minimum and maximum fee cap. For its adoption, the council has appealed to all state and union territory governments.
The minimum yearly charge for a three-year diploma study in engineering is Rs 67,900, according to the panel report, which the media has seen a copy of. The maximum annual fee is Rs 1,40,900. The minimum price for a four-year engineering degree program has been set at Rs 79,600 per annum, with the highest charge set at Rs 1,89,800.
