Student victory: RMLNLU slashes fees to Rs 1 lakh after doubling last year

RMLNLU Lucknow has lowered its undergraduate five-year BA LLB course fees to Rs 1.05 lakh per year after having doubled its fees from Rs 74,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh per year in 2013, reported the Times of India.

Students had protested the fee hike, which was apparently the first since the university started last year, so the administration gave in and cut the fees in part. The lion’s share of the Rs 1.05 lakh are tuition fees at Rs 60,000, followed by admissions fees of Rs 10,000, room rent for Rs 7,500 and other expenses. Total standard fees at NLSIU Bangalore are Rs 1.76 lakh per year, by comparison.

This is how NLU fees must be. Almost all NLUs charge upward of 1.5 lakh and that's just terrible. These are State/Center funded Universities and still their fee is so high.

you have no idea about funding of NLUs. Except for a standard one time funding during inception there is negligible funding from respective State Govt(s).

I have a pretty decent idea, my friend. I know for a fact that RML receives 4 crore grant from the State government and then central grant from UGC.

The same is true for almost all NLUs. They receive funds from State + Center by UGC.
