Lucknow: The Lucknow University Affiliated Colleges Teachers’ Association (LUACTA) has opposed the revised fee structure introduced by Lucknow University for affiliated colleges, urging the administration to withdraw what it termed as ‘unjustified charges’.
According to memorandum sent to the vice-chancellor, LUACTA raised objections to fees proposed for registration, alumni, practical examinations, internships, marksheets and sports. The association questioned the need for a separate registration fee of Rs 250 per semester when students already pay LURN and enrolment-related charges.
LUACTA also objected to the Rs 100 per semester alumni fee, arguing that students are already associated with their respective colleges’ alumni system. It also questioned the proposed Rs 100 practical examination fee and Rs 300 internship charge, saying colleges incur expenses related to practical examinations and internships. The association also opposed Rs 100 marksheet fee and Rs 50 per semester sports fee, citing the financial burden on affiliated colleges and students.
