New Delhi: Expressing their anger towards the Delhi University (DU) administration for increasing the tuition fees for several courses, student representatives of Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (KYS) and All India Students' Association (AISA) staged a protest and sat on a one-day hunger strike on Thursday. The protest was organised outside the arts faculty on the DU’s North Campus.
"The students have faced many problems while registering themselves through the online portal this time, as the fees are being increased in almost every college.
The registration fee for OBC category has also seen a drastic increase at Rs 750, whereas the EWS category has to shell out Rs 300.
The criterion for admission under both the categories is an income of R 8 lakh per annum," AISA stated in a press release.

Students at the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) started a relay hunger strike on Monday against the recent fee hike.
Students have also boycotted classes since the third week of June to stage the protest.
In May, the management of IIT-B introduced a hike for the new academic session, including a 300% hike in hostel rent, 167% hike in gymkhana fee, 100% hike in examination, registration and medical fees and around 50% hike in other charges. IIT-B authorities attributed the hike to inflation.
