New Delhi: The cost of studying at

more than doubled.
The fee has been raised from Rs.
90,000 to Rs. 2 lakh a year,

said on Thursday. Scheduled

students, disabled students and
those from extremely poor
families may not need to pay fees
at all, say sources.
The IIT council, which includes
directors and senior officials, had
recommended raising the fee to
three lakhs.
The council acted on the
recommendation of a committee
headed by IIT Bombay Director
Devang Khakhar, who had also
proposed multiple sources of
financing for the IITs.
All the IITs have said a hike is
overdue, given the inflation and
the huge cost of running the
institution. IIT Fees More Than Doubled, Up From Rs 90,000 To Rs 2 Lakh - NDTV.com
