Engineering courses at Pvt colleges to cost more in TN - 7-Jul-2012
Chennai: The government-appointed fee determination committee has come out with revised fee structure for Engineering courses at private Engineering colleges.
The fee structure drawn up in 2006, allowed colleges to collect 32,500 for a government quota seat and 62,500 for a management seat.
With this fee valid only for the 2012-13 academic year, now, BE, BTech and BArch courses will cost 40,000 for non-accredited courses and 45,000 for accredited courses. However, a management seat will now cost 70,000.
Justice N V Balasubramanian, who heads the fee committee, said all factors, including inflation, increase in cost of teacher salary, infrastructure and electricity were taken into account while fixing the fee. Apart from this, the committee also sought public opinion on the fee hike.
After collecting income-expenditure details of the colleges, the committee held several discussions with colleges, associations and federations of self-financing colleges, Justice Balasubramanian told media persons.
Though, college managements consider it a nominal hike, but said that it would not meet the inflated infrastructure costs and pay scales for teachers.
