Chandigarh, January 24
Panjab University has okayed a 10 per cent hike in the fee of first year courses from the next session.
The authorities will finalise the fee structure before the publishing of the prospectuses. Dean, University Instructions-cum-Registrar AK Bhandari said the fee of first year courses would be hiked by 10 per cent.
"Last year, students had objected to the hike in fee as the decision was taken in the mid session. The authorities had to roll back the hike."
Sources said the fee committee had made some changes in the fee structure and that these would be taken into consideration while doing the calculations.
A senior official said as the fee was not hiked in the last session, the university had to incur losses.
The official said: "If the fee is not increased, the authorities will have to look for some other revenue-generating source."
On June 29 last year, the Syndicate had given a green signal to the 10 per cent hike in fee of first year courses.
The fee of professional courses was to be increased by 20 per cent, but the decision had to be revoked following protests by student unions.
