Regulations pertaining to Admission and Fee Structure:

students in private aided and unaided Professional Institutions, except in respect of
seats under the “institutional Quota” and the “Management Quota”, in the manner
mentioned above and the same shall be included in the admission brochure.

place before the Fee Structure Committee concerned, at least six months in advance of
the next academic year, their proposed fee structure for seats under these two categories
of quota along with all relevant documents and books of accounts. The Committee shall
then decide whether the fees proposed by the Professional Institution are justified and
are not a means for profiteering or charging capitation fee. The Committee shall either
approve the proposed fees, or fix on its own some other amount of fees, which can be
charged by the Professional Institution concerned. The particulars of fees so fixed shall
be included in the admission brochure.
