Widely welcomed decision will benefit thousands of students
The University of Calcutta has decided to waive off all kinds of fees for its students for the year 2021-22. The decision, taken in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, will ensure practically a free education for thousands of students. “In view of the present pandemic situation, the University has waived off all fees like admission fees, tuition fees and examination fees of the students (PG and University UG students) for the academic year 2021-22 for different semesters and it is not required for the students to pay fees for collecting the marksheets/grade sheets of different semester examinations,” the university said in a circular issued earlier this week. The decision has been widely welcomed, particularly by affiliated colleges whose students will seek admission to post-graduate courses at the university.More Related News
