Bangalore University hikes PG course fees by up to 300%. A postgraduate seat in Bangalore University will cost students more as fees have been revised from this academic year. The steepest fee hike is about 300% for science courses. While a general-merit MA student pursuing English, History or Hindi had to pay Rs 2,150 last year, she has to cough up Rs 5,050 this year. Fees for subjects like Kannada, Dance and Drama have shot up to Rs 6,650. The fee hike is almost three times for subjects like Social Work, for which the fee is now Rs 8,050. Fee for science subjects has gone up from Rs 2,000 to Rs 7,050. The university has rationalized the fee structure for students under general merit, SC/ST and OBC categories. It was differential until last year. Thus, students from the reserved categories might end up coughing up more than 150% in some cases. Take MFA (Master of Fine Arts), for instance. The fee has gone up from Rs 17,940 to Rs 43,050. The costliest course is speech and hearing at Rs 89,700. In a relief, the social welfare department will reimburse the fee paid by SC/ST students. The sports fee charged for undergraduate students has ballooned from Rs 44 to Rs 500. For the first time, the fee has been extended to PG students, and they must shell out Rs 1,000 from now on.
