The Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983
The Andhra Pradesh Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983 governs admissions and fee structures across educational institutions in Andhra Pradesh. It strictly prohibits institutions and individuals from collecting capitation fees or unauthorized donations in exchange for student admissions. The law empowers the state government to regulate tuition fees, oversee fair admission procedures, inspect institution premises, and penalize violators with strict legal punishments. This legislation matters because it prevents commercialization and corrupt practices in education, ensuring fair access, transparency, and merit-based opportunities for students seeking entry into schools and colleges across the state.
