Gujarat: FRC fixes ad hoc fees structure of 101 private engg colleges

AHMEDABAD: The state’s technical fee regulatory committee on Wednesday announced ad hoc fee structure of 101 private engineering colleges for 2023-24 which had demanded more than 5% hike. The committee is in the process of fixing new fee structures for the three-year cycle of 2023-24 to 2025-26 however, the admissions are over and academic terms are about to begin so as a temporary measure the ad hoc fee structure has been announced.

Apart from these colleges, the FRC also announced fee structures of 17 engineering colleges which have been newly established.
The committee had invited applications to fix one year ad hoc fee structure from the diploma, degree engineering, pharmacy, MBA, MCA colleges. The committee is in the process of fixing the regular three-year cycle fee structures for the old colleges and has asked colleges to apply before June 1, 2024. Among the old colleges, eight colleges had asked for only a 5% raise in their fees which is a standard base hike the committee allows. In July, the committee had approved the fee hike to these eight colleges.

The committee statement said that if there is any variation in the final three-year cycle fee structure, then the colleges will have to adjust the difference amount.
Sources in the committee said that the delay in fixing the new three-year cycle fee structure is because many colleges have not submitted their financial reports to the committee which is needed to fix new fee structures.
