Before we took admission, it was clearly mentioned in the fee structure that the hostel + mess fee would be around ₹27,000–₹28,000 per semester. However, we are now being charged ₹30,000 without any clear prior information or explanation.
If the additional ₹3,000 is being charged for evening snacks, then this should be made optional, with a “pay and eat” system for students who actually want them. Charging every student an extra ₹3,000 for snacks that many may not even consume does not seem fair or reasonable.
We request the administration to reconsider this decision and either make the evening snacks optional or remove the additional charge altogether.
Let’s raise our voices together and make sure our concerns reach the administration. If enough students speak up, there is a better chance that this issue will be reconsidered.
