LOK SABHA
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has constituted a Committee to prepare draft Regulations for admission and fee structure in self financing Universities and Colleges.
In the XI Plan document, the Planning Commission has, inter-alia, suggested that since most university students come from top 10 per cent of the population by income levels, they would be able to pay fees amounting to 20 per cent of the operating cost of general higher education. The fee levels should, therefore, be increased gradually in existing institutions but the new norms could be implemented in new institutions from the start.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development Smt. D. Purandeswari in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
