The government owes a lot of money, but has only paid back a small amount.
Students are worried because they need their certificates to start their careers.
Some feel that the government is not prioritizing their education.
Colleges are also struggling to pay teachers.
The students are planning to protest if the government doesn't pay the remaining money.
Graduates in Hyderabad are facing career setbacks due to delayed fee reimbursements.
Colleges are withholding certificates due to nearly Rs 8,200 crore in pending arrears.
Students are missing job opportunities and university deadlines.
