Students Protest Princeton College CRT Fee Demands at JNTU
Students at an engineering college are very upset because their school is making them pay an extra fee for job training before they can pay their regular exam fees.
They feel this is unfair, especially since they haven't even gotten information about this training and are worried they won't be able to take their important exams.
They protested at the university's main office to ask for help.
They even burned a pretend person representing the college's leaders.
The university is now investigating and has told the college they must let students pay for exams without this extra fee.
The students say if things don't get fixed, they will protest at the college itself.
Students protested at JNTU against Princeton Engineering College for allegedly demanding mandatory Campus Recruitment Training (CRT) fees.
The college reportedly refuses to accept examination fees unless students pay the CRT charges first.
Protesters accused the college management of extorting money and barring students from exams who cannot afford the CRT fee.
The Students Protection Forum demanded immediate intervention from JNTU and threatened to escalate the issue.
JNTU has launched an inquiry and warned the college, stating students must be allowed to pay examination fees independently.
