Imphal, Nov 9:

North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) has supported the struggle of common students regarding unjustified fee being levied from the students in Manipur University. In this regard, a memorandum was submitted to the V-C office today by the common students. It should be noted that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, no physical classes have been conducted during the past year. Even the exams have not been conducted in the physical mode and assessment has been done only through the assignments. As such, levying of examination fee for the second semester for which only assignments have been taken, is unjustified. In this regard,
NEFIS further stated that after the students objected to it, a notice was recently released which made a provision for 30% deduction in fee which would be refunded after payment is made in full. There is no basis for taking examination fee when no examinations have been conducted. This move can be seen as extortion in the name of examination fee. Similarly, reduction of field trip fee by 50 per cent carries no logic. It is also appalling that when the students tried to raise the issue before Assistant Registrar (Academic), her response was completely insensitive and completely disregarded the concerns of the students.
“NEFIS supports the demands of common students that fees should not be unreasonably charged from the students, the unused fees should be refunded in toto, and examination fee should be charged reasonably i.e. under heads of form fill-up, marksheet, etc., and examination fee should not be taken as actual physical exams never happened. NEFIS pledges to support the common students in their struggle in the coming days:, a statement said.
