Rajasthan University students protest, want hostel fees to be refunded | Jaipur News
JAIPUR: Students of Rajasthan University protested in front of the vice-chancellor secretariat against the fee structure. Hundreds of students gathered in front of the office to protest during which they clashed with the police.
Students complained that they had to foot hostel fee despite not staying since 2020. They even demanded fee waiver for students of BPL category.
NSUI spokesperson Ramesh Bhati said, “Last year students paid Rs 10,000 yearly fees for hostels although nobody stayed for more than a month. Some students couldn’t shift to hostels despite paying the fees because of lockdown. Hence, students have been demanding to reduce hostel fee or adjust it with something else. And if that was not possible, return it to students.”
Students also demanded free admissions for those belonging to BPL categories and not to increase fees for any subject in the near future no physical classes were going on. Chief proctor HS Palsaniya said, “Last year, a committee was set up which decided to adjust the hostel fee next year. Now, for the current year we will again put it in front of our administration and take necessary decision. VC had a chat with students and assured to look into the demands. The university administration hadn’t increased fees in the last two years and it was unlikely this year too.” tnn
