Directed to abstain from collecting tuition fee from 'FE" grade students - Orders issued Complaints have been received from the students' organizations that the institutions were charging exorbitant fee from students with FE grade when register for course repetition. It has come to the notice of the University that some of the colleges (including government controlled self financing colleges) are also collecting tuition fee from the FE grade students for permitting them to attend the classes with the junior batches. It is also observed that insufficient number of senior faculty affected the teaching - learning processes in the colleges. After considering the matter in detail, it is ordered that the institutions are not allowed to collect tuition fee from 'FE" grade students unless they strictly follow the mandatory AICTE faculty student ratio (1: 20) and the cadre ratio (1:2:6) in their institutions.
