Hyderabad,July 20: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday issued a notice to the state government seeking its version of the recently fixed fee structure for undergraduate engineering courses including pharmacy and architecture.
The court was dealing with a batch of petitions filed by managements of private engineering colleges against the government fixing the fee structure.
The petitioners sought a direction to declare the fee structure as illegal and urged the court to direct the government to consider a proposal submitted by them to hike fees in undergraduate engineering courses.
While posting the petitions for further hearing, Justice G. Rohini made it clear that fees collected by private unaided institutions as prescribed by the government would be subject to further orders in a batch of writ petitions.
The government fixed Rs 30,200 for undergraduate engineering course for a student of category A seats and Rs 91,700 for category B seat per annum as tuition fee. For MBA and MCA courses, under category ‘A’ the fee was Rs 26,700 and for category ‘B’, it was Rs 73,100. The petitioners told the court that they had asked the government to fix Rs 1,28,568 for all engineering courses.
