Daijiworld Media Network

New Delhi, Jun 29: BTech and MTech courses' fee at the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) may soon be raised to Rs 50,000 a year starting 2012.

The council that decides on such issues considered a proposal to hike the fees from the regular Rs 35,000 on Tuesday June 28. The proposal is still under consideration. The NIT council will decide in its next meeting in November, a source said.

The scheduled caste and scheduled tribe students will continue to get a fee exemption, the proposal said. Education loans will be provided to the needy without being asked for collateral security. 

A proposal to raise the age limit of NIT directors from 65 to 70 has been approved by the NIT council chaired by HRD minister Kapil Sibal.

    Government promote corruption for the middle and lower class person for making better future of their childrens. Government passed right to education in Government schools where no teacher. If in any school one or two theachers are there they invalve in MID-Day Meal menu & other activities. In private schools there is no control of govrnment to regulate fee structure. Politicians made such a holi profession for making money only. How a normal man can manage to built the carrier of their child.
    Reservation system is totaly political a talented boy can't do anything if he has no money. I agree reservation is for uplifting a community but it should not be cast based. Government should provide free education, Hostel facility etc on education level not in promotion after employment.
