Telangana Board Set to Increase Intermediate Exam Fees to Rs 1500
Hyderabad: The Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) is poised to announce a significant increase in the inter exam fee, with an official notification expected on November 5. Reports indicate that the fee will rise from the current Rs 500 to Rs 1500, representing a substantial three-fold increase.
This revised fee structure is set to be implemented for the upcoming exams scheduled for March next year. The proposed hike has sparked widespread concern among students and parents, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Many students have voiced their opposition to the increase, arguing that the existing fee of Rs 500 already poses a financial strain for many families. An additional Rs 1000 could create a considerable burden, potentially hindering some students’ ability to sit for their examinations.
The potential rise in exam fees raises critical questions about access to education and the pressures faced by students from lower-income families. With many already struggling to cover basic educational costs, this increase may further limit their opportunities to complete their studies and pursue higher education.
As discussions continue, it remains to be seen how the TGBIE will address these concerns and whether any adjustments will be made to the proposed fee increase.
