BANGALORE, APRIL 10. Terming the professional college fee structure announced by the Rangavittalachar Committee as "unacceptable," the Karnataka Private Dental Colleges' Association said on Sunday that the fees fixed was meagre and impracticable. "It does not even match the fee fixed for primary school children," the association president, L.K. Raju said. In a release, Mr. Raju said the three-member Dr. S. Ramegowda Committee, constituted by the State Government in 1997, had recommended a fee higher than the one fixed by the current panel. "After nine years of this recommendation, the recurring expenditure has doubled and the fee should have been definitely not less than Rs. 60,000 per college in engineering," he said. Mr. Raju said the panel should have taken into account the annual recurring and capital expenditures incurred by the government engineering and dental colleges per student before fixing the fees. The expenditures were much higher than the fee fixed by the panel, he said. The 11-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, he said, had stated that the institutions should have reasonable surplus, which did not amount to profiteering. "This would clearly indicate that the institutions should have their own fee structure evolved without compromising the quality of education," he said. He said some of the institutions were even ready to hand over their colleges to the Government.
