HRD Ministry Defers Decision To Hike MTech Fee In IITs

New Delhi: The HRD ministry has deferred the decision to hike the MTech fee in the IITs for further discussion on the issue.

While the ministry had, in September, announced the decision of the IIT Council that it will implement the fee hike, the issue will again be taken up at the next meeting.

The development comes against the backdrop of protests by Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students against a recent fee hike.
