Profiting During Pandemic
The IP University seems to have sold all their moral values and ethics in this pandemic. 
Students of Delhi Technical Campus (DTC), which is affiliated to the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi’s state university, have been actively speaking out against the college’s decision to increase the fees.
“I don’t understand where our money is going,” a student told NewsLaundry on the condition of anonymity. “The college is shut, classes are happening online, we don’t have access to any resources, and are paying for our internet. The college seems to be earning a profit during the pandemic.”
On August 6, the college proposed a “relief measure”, offering to split the fee into two instalments of Rs 56000. But what these students are asking for is the fee structure — which the college refuses to provide them.
Being a citizen if India, students have full right to information about the fees structure of any institute. But still, the college and university are acting like shameless creatures.
On October 7, the IP university released a notice for colleges located in the NCR region stating the students of this region will have to pay extra 15, 1000 INR as fees for session 2020-2021.
The main reasons why these students are against the fees hike are:
- Firstly, the students are not using any of the building facilities.
- In a period when the whole economy of the nation is shrinking and people are losing their jobs, how can an education institution ask for full fees?
- And the line was crossed by the university when they asked for extra 15,000 for this session 2020-2021 and 15000 for the previous session. This is really not acceptable.
- Examination fees: Why is the educational institution not giving an account of the money which was deposited by the students as examination fees?
The CM of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodiya should look into the matter since every time they talk about Delhi Education Model.
