The IIT revised the courses to nearly double for the master and research courses after receiving the title of Eminence Institute.
The dean assistant of the PG Research, Shantanu Roy said the fee revision for postgraduate and research courses was decided in the Senate meeting earlier this year. “The proposal for the revision in fee structure was passed by the IIT-D senate much ahead of the Institution of Eminence tag. We had not made the corrections for a very long time,” he said, adding to that the revision in the fee structure of foreign students has not been approved as of now.
The fee structures which were earlier Rs 10,000 for the January semester, it will now be Rs 19,650 for those who have enrolled for the course in 2018.
Despite the price hiked just within a day the scholarships remain the same.
Associate Dean, PG Research, Shantanu Roy said the fee revision for postgraduate and research courses was decided in the Senate meeting earlier this year. “The proposal for the revision in fee structure was passed by the IIT-D senate much ahead of the Institution of Eminence tag. We had not made the corrections for a very long time,” he said, adding that the revision in the fee structure of foreign students has not been approved as of now.
Due to the new tag, the Institute needs to raise funds, with respect to this context Rao said, “IITs are completely dependent on grants from the government. We do not have autonomy to change the fee structure of BTech courses. But in masters and research courses, we have the authority to change some amount of fee. Now, after the IoE tag, we will need funds for infrastructure projects and maintenance. We will have to look for all the revenue generation models for the institution. So, there is a minimal revision in the fee structure,”
