Varsity went for only marginal and reasonable hikes, says Mumbai University official

Mumbai University has increased fees after 17 years due to rising costs and lack of government grants, impacting affiliated colleges' ability to pay teachers and maintain infrastructure. While the university considers this a reasonable adjustment, principals argue it's insufficient to cover expenses and improve the quality of education. A further 5% increase for self-financing courses is planned from 2026-27.
