Students pursuing MCom at N M College got a rude shock after the administration declared a 100 per cent increase in their fee structure for the second year. The college management justified the increase stating that the fees had stayed the same for the last 12 years and that in value terms it was not really a huge amount.

For first-year MCom, students paid a fee of Rs 13,000, but now they will have to pay Rs 25,000 for the second-year. Students received an email from the college administration on July 29 informing them about new fee structure adding that it had to be paid by August 4.
