The Punjab University Lahore issued a notification to increase the exam fee. The increment in the exam fee will be 10 % that causes big trouble for students.
According to the sources, the university made this decision to compensate for the financial issues. The reason for these financial issues is that the government has reduced the HEC funding in the annual budget. There is also news that after this step of the government, all public sectors are seriously considering increasing the fees.
This increment in fees becomes a problem for students, especially for private students. Most of the students have already facing the financial crisis and now this 10% increment in fees is a big hurdle. Each year thousands of students enroll themselves as private students due to various reasons.
Students also think this decision strange. Because some days ago, PU university announced to reduce the tuition fee, and now suddenly, he changed its decision.
University response on Increasing Exams fee:
To answer the questions of students, the university administration made a statement. In the statement, they said that the university is facing the financial crisis, so to maintain the educational system, private students have to pay. For regular students, the university decided to give them relaxation. Also stated, all the other allowances, lunches, etc. for the teachers from the university during exams have also been stopped.
