Why are students protesting?

In spite of all the advantages, a large number of students are opposing FYUP. They argue that the fee is increasing every year. It is already difficult for some students to pay fees for three years and now one more year would be added which will create more financial burden on them. According to the students, the 3 years course has been divided into 4 years.

Academicians are also concerned that the policy will increase the cost of obtaining an undergraduate degree and hence make it beyond the reach of marginalised students. According to a survey conducted in 2013, students will have to spend close to Rs 1.5 – Rs 2 lakhs per year in staying in Delhi to receive their education.
