Fees slashed at many of Mumbai’s professional colleges

Hindustan Times  

The Sardar Patel Institute of Technology in Andheri, the Vidyalankar Institute of Technology in Wadala, the DJ Sanghvi College in Vile Parle and the Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research are some of the prominent professional colleges in the city who had their fees reduced significantly by the state’s fee regulating authority. This is the first time FRA has reduced the fees charged at most of the colleges running professional courses, including medical, engineering, management, pharmacy, law and architecture courses, instead of hiking them. An analysis of the change in fee structure of 150 professional courses in the city colleges between academic years 2015-16 and 17-18 suggests that most institutes have had their fees reduced significantly. Among other courses, Jondhale College of Pharmacy Jaslok College of Nursing at Pedder Road and MCA at AC Patil College of Engineering in Navi Mumbai faced the highest fee reduction.
