DSEU to strike off students defaulting on fees beyond two months

New Delhi: Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) has issued a new fee policy stating that students who fail to clear their dues within two months of the deadline will have their names removed from the university rolls for that semester. The university has previously witnessed protests by student groups over fee hikes and action against fee defaulters, including being barred from examinations. According to the latest notification, DSEU will impose late fees on delayed semester payments. While no fine will be charged for the first 15 days after the deadline, a penalty of Rs 100 per week will apply thereafter. Officials said fee defaulting has been a recurring concern for the institution. DSEU vice-chancellor Ashok Kumar Nagawat said the policy aims to bring clarity and financial discipline. "The policy clarifies the late-fee structure and the period up to which fees can be paid with a penalty. Indefinite extension of late-fee payment is not justified. There is no change in the fee structure. Late payment under this policy will not require approval from authorities," he told TOI.
