NEW DELHI - The Union Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD), Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' in an online interaction on May 5, 2020 through Twitter and Facebook announced that the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs) have been told by the ministry not to increase the course fees this year. As the world is still fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic and the economy is experiencing a great fall, financial instability is obvious.
The reason behind such a statement by Pokhriyal is that IITs and NITs have this trend of increasing annual tuition fee. The fee hike takes place for a standard percentage of the already prevailing tuition fee in the session that follows.
The step against fee hike will help out prospective candidates to be a little less burdened financially in the ongoing crisis.
