Guwahati: Tezpur University students have opposed the decision to raise costs in various courses and criticize the authorities to force them to pay fees for services on campus that they do not use because the campus remains closed due to covid restrictions.

“We have a full paid fee for hostel accommodation, electricity, infrastructure, medical, transportation, and other services on the campus for the last three semesters even without going to campus.
When we object to this, our email is left unanswered and calls not received .
This is not a student-friendly university.
We ask them to return the cost or adjust the same in the next semester.
However, the university administration does not do it, “said the student.
3 other year students claim that students have not been given a student ID card.
“Despite the fact that we have paid for services that we cannot use, such as transportation and hostel costs, apathetic administration has ignored our repetitive requests for basic facilities such as ID cards and remote access to library services.
When master students, we need access.
To online and e-book journals that we cannot get even though paying services every semester, “added students.
When contacted, the Administration of the University of Tezpur denied students’ claims and said there was no increase in the cost structure in this academic year.
