Students Protest JNTU-H Fee Hikes
Students at JNTU-H are very upset because the university has raised fees for exams and other services.
The Students' Protection Forum has asked the government to lower these fees.
They say the new fees are too high and make it hard for poor students to study.
For example, exam fees went up from Rs 765 to Rs 1,500, and online services now cost Rs 1,500 instead of Rs 500.
The students also don't like a new Rs 2,000 fee for grace marks and certificates.
They warned that if the fees are not lowered, they will protest more and even go to court.
The leaders of the protest want the government to make things fair again for all students.
Students' Protection Forum protests JNTU-H fee hikes and demands rollback.
Examination fees increased from Rs 765 to Rs 1,500, online service charges from Rs 500 to Rs 1,500.
New Rs 2,000 processing fee introduced for grace marks and certificates.
Transcript fees raised from Rs 40 to Rs 60, translation fees from Rs 60 to Rs 100.
Forum warns of large-scale agitations and legal action if demands are not met.
