IIT fee rises from Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 2 lakh from next academic session
The steep hike in the fees from the present Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 2 lakh got the approval of HRD Minister Smriti Irani.
A proposal for such a hike in annual fees was approved by IIT panel last month.
On Wednesday, the HRD minister promised a fee waiver for all SC/ST, Dalit and physically challenged students of the 23 branches of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Irani said the move will benefit nearly 50 percent of the students enrolled in the country’s premier technology institutes.
