KERALA SELF FINANCING PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (PROHIBITION OF CAPITATION FEES AND PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION AND FIXATION OF FEES) ACT, 2004
The KERALA SELF FINANCING PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (PROHIBITION OF CAPITATION FEES AND PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION AND FIXATION OF FEES) ACT, 2004
The Kerala Self Financing Professional Colleges (Prohibition of Capitation Fees and Procedure for Admission and Fixation of Fees) Act, 2004, is a legislative measure designed to curb the exploitation of students seeking admission to private professional institutions in Kerala. It mandates a transparent admission process by splitting seats equally between the Government Quota and the Management Quota. The Act strictly prohibits the collection of "capitation fees"—extra payments beyond the prescribed tuition—and empowers a specialized committee to investigate complaints. By regulating fee structures and admission procedures, the law ensures that professional education remains accessible based on merit rather than financial capacity.
