Education200723 sections
This law applies to unaided professional colleges in Delhi to stop the practice of charging extra money, known as capitation fees, for admission. It establishes committees to regulate how students are admitted and to set fair, non-exploitative tuition fees. By banning money-based admissions and fixing fees, the Act ensures that students are selected based on merit rather than wealth. This promotes fairness and equity in higher education while maintaining high standards of excellence for professional courses like engineering, medicine, and law.
