Summary:
Four students from the Socially Backward Category (SBC) of SIES Graduate School of Technology (GST), Nerul had submitted a written complaint to Mumbai University over non-payment of scholarship fees. The college had asked the students to pay an annual fee of Rs 50,000 to 90,000 this year as the Social Welfare Department (SWD) did not pay scholarship fee of students since 2014. Failing to do so, the students will not be allowed to sit for the final year semester exam which will start from May. The students, who are pursuing Printing and Packaging Technology (PPT) course from the college, are in a fix. There were more such students from reserved category and they paid the fees as they were able to afford it.".
