The IIT-Delhi has effected a 30-per cent reduction in the tuition fee for the new batch of M.Tech students following recommendations of a committee set up by the director, after a section of students staged a silent protest over “fee hikes”.
The Indian Institute of Technology issued a statement after the silent protest staged by the students on the campus against the “recent fee hikes” in several courses.
“The fees have been reduced for those who joined during the second semester 2021-22 or later. The tuition fee and other charges have been reduced significantly. The M.Tech full-time tuition fee has been reduced from Rs 25,000 per semester to Rs 17,500 per semester,” the statement said.
It said the tuition fees of other post-graduate programmes have been reduced and other components of the fees have been cut as well.
Students from various courses gathered at the Wind T Corridor on the IIT campus on Friday, with posters and placards displaying their refusal to accept the fee hike.
