College managements' stand criticised

KOCHI: The Kerala Latin Catholic Association has deplored the attitude of some private college managements that students should pay Rs.3.15 lakhs as annual fees. In a press release issued here, Felix J. Pulloden, president of the Association, said that the Government should take over such colleges. He said that many private colleges levy huge amounts as capitation fee, in addition to the normal fees. It is sad that even some Christian managements have begun to collect hefty sums as fee from students. This is against the tenets of service that they hitherto stood for, Mr. Pulloden said. - Staff Reporter
