Are Engineering College Fees In India Justified?
Everyone knows that the whole education section in India and if I'm right; in the world world, has become a pure business where more importance is given to picking out more money from student's pockets and less on giving them high quality education in return. I remember back in my days ~ a decade ago; we'd this concept of regular seats and 'paid' seats. The paid seat students would pay approximately 3 to 4 times the fees paid by the regular seats students. But times have changed. I was shocked a few years ago to learn that almost every engineering student now a days has to pay anywhere between Rs. 70,000 - Rs. 120,000 per year for a seat in an engineering college. This excludes the 'Donations' demanded by the colleges to allocate the seat and branch.
Given the exponential rise in engineering college fees; I do not see any improvement in infrastructure and facilities offered by most of the engineering colleges. Students use the same equipment, labs, classrooms and even the benches. I wish to know from current engineering students and even those who've left the college already, whether they think the engineering education fees in India are truly justified?
