The HinduAs the Fee Regulatory Committee issued stringent warnings to educational institutions collecting fees in excess of the government mandated structure, the Dr. Ambedkar Institute Of Technology refunded ₹2.12 lakh to a student from whom it had collected excess fee for a COMED-K seat. The committee then acted upon those complaints and ensured that all the students secured admissions without paying the excess fee. “Institutions such as Presidency University, AIMS IBS School, Acharya Institute of Management and Science, The Oxford College of Engineering, Brindavan College, Alliance University, IFIM College, Christ Academy Institute for Advanced Studies, Daksha First Grade College, and Don Bosco Institute of Management Studies had also made demands for excess fees.
