According to sources the fees in Tamilnadu’s engineering colleges is all set to increase, following the All india Council for Technical education (AICTE)’s recommendation to the state government to consider the same from the academic year 2020-2021. Meanwhile as per a report, the recommendation comes in order to meet the pay revision mandated to the faculty members by the Pay Commission. Furthermore the AICTE recently sent a letter to all the state governments, in which it urged them to consider the pay recommendations as per the sixth and seventh Pay Commission and other things while fixing the fee for the next academic year. 

 

Perhaps the letter follows numerous complaints received by the AICTE about engineering colleges not paying their faculty members as per the stipulated norms. Furthermore at present, engineering colleges pay around Rs 30000 a month for entry-level assistant professors. Perhaps the fee for engineering courses in tamilnadu was last fixed in 2017-18. Presently the fees for engineering and technical courses in tamilnadu are fixed by a state fee regulation committee. 

 

Moreover according to Justice srikrishna Committee’s recommendations, the maximum fee for engineering courses is anywhere between Rs 1.44 lakh to Rs 1.58 lakh per year. However, there is no minimum fee prescribed by the committee. In tamilnadu, the fees for engineering courses under government quota is around Rs 55,000 per year and under management quota, it is around Rs 90,000 per year.
