Meanwhile, several students who have filed cases with the committee are worried with this decision by the committee head.“Committee had passed orders for refund of the excess fee collected, but we will not be having anyone if the colleges harass us later,” said a student.The committee had passed some important orders recently where the medical and dental colleges which collected excess fee from students were told to refund the same with 18per cent annual interest. In one case the committee asked Rajiv Gandhi University of health sciences to collect double the penalty as a state medical college was harassing a student by keeping his original documents and demanding `10 lakh.
