Fees in government polytechnics to go
Chennai: There will be NO Tuition Fee in Government Polytechnics
from the coming academic year.
This was announced by Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy in
the Assembly on Wednesday. An annual fee of Rs.2,500 was being
collected from students in government polytechnics. Acceding
to a request from N. Nanmaran of the CPI (M), the government
decided to stop collecting the fee, he said.
There are 22 government polytechnics with a sanctioned intake
of 5,160 students and 34 government-aided polytechnics with
an intake of 12,980.
