Delhi University's Rajdhani College has reduced the annual fees for various courses considering the ongoing economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The college in a notification stated that the governing body of the institution has decided to reduce the fee by Rs 2,010 for the academic year 2021-22 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The annual fee at Rajdhani college was Rs 3,370, and now it has come down to Rs 1,360 with a relaxation of Rs 2,010 for the second-and-third- year. The amount that has been relaxed is made up of reduction under various heads.
Earlier, the extra-curricular fee was Rs 300 and has now been reduced to Rs 150. The computer science fund, which was Rs 1,000 earlier, has witnessed a 30 per cent reduction and is now Rs 500. The Student Activity Fund, which was Rs 1,020 earlier has not come down to Rs. 410. Other reductions include sports and subject society funds.
Previously, students had urged the college to reduce the annual fee, citing the economic crisis that they had to face during the pandemic year 2020. In addition, since the colleges were closed for more than a year and the classes were conducted online, the students did not make use of any resources provided by the college. Therefore, charging them money for the resources did not align with the students.
In July, a group of students from Delhi University had protested regarding the same issue. They asked to waive off the non-academic fee charged by the colleges.
Meanwhile, the Delhi University has said that it has decided to reopen its campus in phased manner for the final year students of undergraduate and post-graduate programs from September 15. However, keeping the COVID-19 restriction in mind, the college will only allow 50 per cent occupancy in the varsity at any given point in time.
