Sub : Rajya Sabha Provisionally admitted Question Dy. No. S559 to be replied on 13.12.2018 regarding “doubling of fee by IIT Delhi” Dear Sir,

This has reference to your email dated 06-08-2018. The requisite information specific to IIT Delhi is given as under :

a) The details of grants received by IITs in the country from the Government. Ans. The Budget Allocation and receipt for the Financial Year 2018-19 (in crores)is as under :

Grants OH-31 OH-35 OH-36 PMRF Total HEFA Grand Total

Allocation 268.12 66.71 238.03 - 572.86 575.00 1147.86

Receipt 97.79 75.00 170.00 1.17 343.96 - 343.96

The details of grant from FY 2012-13 to 2018-19 is also enclosed. b) whether there is a move on the part of the IIT Delhi to boost funds for sharing up

infrastructure and research, to double the fee for its research and post-graduate courses in the name of earning Institution of Eminence (IOE) status, and if so, the details thereof;

Ans. 1. Raising of fee for PG students has got no specific linkage with IoE. IoE funding is in respect of certain activities with specific objectives. In fact this fee revision happened from Academic Year 2018 even before IIT Delhi was granted the status of IoE. 2. It is learnt that as a matter of policy, the Ministry has decided to go for HEFA soft loan for infrastructure development instead of grants under OH-35 etc.. All new buildings including Hostels and academic buildings, purchase of equipments etc. are being undertaken through HEFA loans and these loans principated for Institutions like IITs have to pay back in 10 years.

The implications on the Institutions is to increase our Internal revenue so that the same can be comfortably processed and paid back in the next 10 years. This necessitated revisiting all the fee and other users charges to strengthen internal revenue generation of the Institute.. 3. It is learnt that Undergraduate fee is common across all IITs and is decided by the IIT Council. It stands at Rs 1.00 Lakh per semester with concession/waiver ranging from 33% to 100% for students from economically weaker sections. 4. On the other hand Postgraduate fee is very low (continues to be done, so even after revision) and had not been revised since long. Further the fellowship paid to PG students have been substantially revised during this time. It is to note that all full-time M.Tech/M.Des. students get Rs 1.5 Lakh per annum as assistantship and even the revised fee is only Rs 20,000 per annum. The fee circular dated 01-10-2008, 28-11-2015 and 04-05-2018 before and after the revision are enclosed, which indicates fee. 5. It is to note that fee is still nominal and after revision still amounts to near subsidization of PG studies at IIT Delhi. Further, to avoid hardship to enrolled students the revision has only been implemented for the new students, joining from the programme from July 2018 (Semester I, 2018-19). , c) whether any other IIT in the country having the same status is also doing the same andif

so, the details thereof; Ans. It is for MHRD to reply. d) whether Government approves such move on the part of the IITs which is against the

interest of the students and if so, the details thereof? Ans. It is for MHRD to reply. Thanking you, Yours sincerely,
