THE Students’ Federation of India Delhi state committee organised a protest demonstration at the UGC headquarters against the steep increase in the fees for the CSIR-UGC NET/JRF examinations. In a recent notification, UGC decided to increase the application fee for CSIR UGC NET 2015 by a whopping 150 per cent across different categories without any reason. Hundreds of students from JNU, Delhi University, Jamia and Ambedkar University raised slogans against this move which clearly derives from the agenda of commercialisation of education, which is being pursued by the Modi regime.
