Charging of Capitation Fee and Misleading of Students by Educational Institutes

Levying of capitation fee is against the national policy as well as rulings of the Apex Court. A legislative proposal namely ‘The Prohibition of Unfair Practices in Technical Educational Institutions, Medical Educational Institutions and Universities Bill, 2010 has been circulated in Parliament. This is with a view to address the problem of unfair practices in technical educational institutions, medical educational institutions and Universities and to protect interests of students admitted or seeking admission therein.
