The Delhi Skills and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) has revoked a 20 per cent fee concession for SC and ST students and a 10 per cent waiver for the EWS category, raising concerns among those affected.
Several students said they were concerned not only by the revocation of waivers, but also a recent fee hike and the criteria to exempt “fee defaulters” from taking exams.
The DSEU, a state established and funded Institute has revoked the concession provided to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) students starting the 2024-25 academic session and has hiked the fees by up to nine times for majority of its 80 courses, except the master’s programmes, Aawaz, the varsity’s students’ body, said.
