Tuition fees
It is really a matter of great concern that the private universities are charging very high tuition fees from the students. Since the public universities can accommodate only a portion of the students seeking higher education, students have to turn to private universities. But if they ask for big amounts of money, the students from families with limited income cannot pursue higher education. It seems like many other things higher education will also become a private preserve of the rich.
The government appears to be quite oblivious of what is going on in the name of higher education in the private sector. Well, one may argue that it is open market economy. But the point is that the universities must provide the facilities that students require for quality education. But that's not the case here.
The government should immediately frame the rules to regulate tuition fees in private universities and save the students from the hands of people engaged in profiteering alone.
