Hello Priyanka Sarode, it's very nice to see your interest to not only pursue the course but also to know about the fees charged. Frankly speaking, fees across the board in private engineering colleges are fixed for two years by a committee headed by retired HC judge. But there is no such condition for govt colleges. It's all a political decision. Hence no one can predict. However once you take admission, fees remain same till completion of the course. My guess is that fees will not be increasing next year.
Best wishes to you.
