The government has revised the fee structure for undergradute and post graduate courses in government and aided colleges resulting in significant increase in academic expenses across the state.

The across-the-board revision covers tution fees, lab fee, hostel rent, and for almost all the services provided by the Collegiate Education Department, Technical Education Department and law colleges. The new fee structure will come into force from the 2012-2013 academic year.

Under the new fee structure, the tution fees for BA, B.Sc and B.Com courses have been increased from Rs 660 per annum to Rs 1000 per annum. For B.Sc Electronics, B.Sc Computer Science and B.Sc Biotechnology courses, the new fee would be Rs 3000 instead of the current Rs 2250.

For PG courses the fees has been hiked from Rs 1200 to Rs 1800. The new tution fee for B.Ed and M.Ed courses would be Rs 2000 and Rs 3000 respectively. The special fees for UG and PG courses, including fees for Laboratory, Library, Magazine, Association, and Stationary fee, have also been increased to the tune of 25% to 100%.

The government decision follows the proposal by the Director of Collegiate Education calling for an upward revision of fees. The order to the effect, signed by Dr. K M Abraham, Principal Secretary, Higher Education Department, has been dispatched to the colleges across the state.

Delhi University's undergraduate courses may undergo a sea change from 2013. Another year will be added to the existing three-year undergraduate courses - BA, BCom and BSc - and the courses will be restructured to offer an exit option midway, with an alternative to rejoin later and complete the course.

Students will also have the option of knocking off one or two papers and instead use credits earned through sports or other extracurricular activities to finish the courses. What's more, students can earn three degrees through this four-year programme.

"We propose to launch the four-year courses from the 2013-14 session. It will be a transdisciplinary course with multiple exit options. As we are simultaneously revamping our open learning system, undergraduate students at colleges will be allowed to complete a semester through open learning and the credits will be counted," said DU vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh.

According to DU administration, the blueprint is ready and consultations with teachers and other stakeholders are on. The administration also plans to bring the proposal up for discussion at a teachers' congress in June. "After taking teachers' input, the plan will be put up at a teachers' congress. Finally, the proposal will be placed before the academic and executive councils of DU," said Singh.

The programme will offer students two exit options during the course - at the end of second and third years. If a student decides to opt out of the course after completion of the first two years, he/she will get an associate degree. At the end of third year, the student can opt out with a bachelor's degree. If the student completes four years, an honours degree will be awarded.

"Even the two-year associate degree will be embedded with enough training to enable a student to become an elementary teacher. Students who opt out after completing second and third years will get 10 years to return and complete the course," said Singh.

"In future, we would like to offer credits to students travelling in the Gyan Uday Express and doing projects," Singh added.
