Delhi University (DU) has increased the fees for its university level facilities from the 2026-27 academic session. This is the second increase in fees in the last six months, which has increased the concern among students and colleges. This increase has also made clear a long-running trend in which DU fees are continuously increasing. Now the total fee from the university’s share has become Rs 4,100, which is Rs 600 more than the fee of Rs 3,500 fixed last July, that is, there has been an increase of 17 percent in just six months.

This is much more than the university’s own policy, according to which the annual fee increase should have been only about 10 percent, so that balance is maintained in view of inflation. The college administration has expressed concern that the pace and regularity of increasing fees is very fast. According to him, being a public university that serves students from diverse economic backgrounds, increasing fees repeatedly gives worrying signs in the long run.

DU fees increased for the second time in six months

As per the revised fee structure, the university has also reduced the University Development Fund to Rs 1,750 and University Facilities & Services Charges to Rs 1,750. Apart from this, students will have to pay ₹300 for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) Assistance Fund and ₹300 for University Students Welfare Fund. Last July, DU had fixed its fees at Rs 3,500. Then University Development Fund was Rs 1,500 and University Facilities Charges were Rs 1,500. EWS Welfare Fund was 250.

DU’s centralized fees have more than doubled in the last four academic sessions. University Development Fund was 900 in 2022, which has reached 1,000 in 2023, 1,200 in 2024, 1,500 in 2025 and now 1,750 in 2026. Similarly, Facilities & Services Charges have also increased from Rs 500 to Rs 1,750 in 2022. EWS Welfare Fund has increased from 100 to 300 in 2022.

Increased concern among students and parents

The university defended the fee hike, saying operating costs and inflation were rising and an annual increase of about 10 percent was necessary to maintain university-level facilities and infrastructure. But the college administration says that the continuous increase in fees in the last few years and now the recent increase of more than 17 percent has increased the pressure on the students.

Heads of colleges said the total fees for undergraduate programs in top-tier colleges has now reached Rs 30,000-40,000 per semester. A college head said that even though DU’s fees are still low compared to private or foreign universities, the continuously rising fees at the public university reflects a worrying trend. If this pace continues, the financial pressure on students and their families may increase further in the coming years.

Political debate has started once again in America regarding H-1B Visa. President Donald Trump’s recent order calls for new restrictions and a fee of approximately $1,00,000 (about Rs 83 lakh) on non-immigrant workers, especially H-1B visa holders. The purpose of this step of Trump is said to be to promote domestic employment. Apart from this, American lawmakers and industry experts believe that this decision can be harmful for both America’s technological leadership and India-US partnership.

Four prominent lawmakers from California and Texas, Jimmy Panetta, Ami Bera, Salud Carbajal and Julie Johnson, have written a letter demanding President Trump to reconsider this policy. He says that the H-1B visa program is the fundamental basis of the American economy and innovation. Limiting it will weaken America’s competitiveness in areas like AI, cyber security and scientific research. The lawmakers wrote that this move would prove to be a major blow not only to talented foreign professionals, but also to American startups and research institutions.

There will be a direct impact on India

These MPs specifically took the name of India in their letter and said that this policy can deeply hurt the India-US strategic partnership. He wrote, ‘High-skilled technical talent coming from India is an integral part of our innovation ecosystem. Limiting the H-1B visa program will not only hinder technological progress but will also affect relations with our democratic ally India. According to the information, last year 71% H-1B visas were issued to Indian citizens, which makes it clear that India is the biggest beneficiary country of this program.

Why should America step back when China is increasing investment?

The lawmakers said that when powers like China are investing billions of dollars in artificial intelligence and robotics, America should focus on attracting talent, not limiting it. He warned that if this policy continues to be implemented, it will reduce America’s innovation capacity and weaken its position in global competition.

The burden on small businesses will increase

The MPs also argued that such high fees would make it almost impossible for small startups and research institutes to hire international talent. According to him, this policy will only favor big companies, while the real strength of American innovation lies in small businesses and emerging startups.”

Possible impact on India-US relations

Diplomatic analysts say that this visa policy of Trump can affect the strategic partnership that has been going on between the two countries for years. A large number of Indian professionals work in America in fields like technology, engineering, medicine and finance. Experts say that if new tariffs and restrictions are implemented, it will not only reduce Indian talent flow but will also limit educational and business cooperation between the two countries.

India’s politics has become hot after US President Donald Trump’s decision to increase H1-B visa fees. The opposition is constantly questioning the Modi government. Asaduddin Owaisi, head of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), surrounded the central government after the US step to fix a fee of $ 1 lakh. He raised the question that “What did the country benefit from big programs like Howdi Modi and Namaste Trump?”

What did Owaisi say?

On the social media platform X, Owaisi wrote that Trump almost eliminated the H1-B visa system, while this visa benefited most of the Indians, especially the youth of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Owaisi accuses Modi government

Owaisi alleged that the Modi government ignored long -term benefits for showing in domestic politics. He said that his complaint is not with Trump, but to the government. “What did we achieve with events like Howdi Modi and Namaste Trump?”

Hyderabad MP Owaisi lashed out at Prime Minister Modi and said that Trump’s decisions prove that America does not see India as a strategic partner. He also said that only the best wishes of birthday cannot be a proof of the success of foreign policy. Owaisi alleged that a change in H1-B visa was done especially to target Indians.

He also recently mentioned the tariff imposed on Indian goods and the security treaty of Pakistan-Saudi Arabia and said that all this was not possible without the approval of the Trump administration. According to Owaisi, these incidents seem weak in India’s global situation.

Owaisi said this big thing

Owaisi called the Modi government’s term ‘lost decade’ in India’s foreign policy. Other opposition parties also did not lag behind. The Congress described the Prime Minister as a weak leader and Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party commented that the Modi government is looking completely helpless in this matter.

Delhi private schools fee: The Department of Education has taken a tough stand on the increase in the fees being done by arbitrary private schools in Delhi. The department has clarified that the fees of private schools are controlled under the Delhi School Education Act and Rules, 1973 (DSEAR, 1973) and the regulatory role of the directorate has also been recognized in many important court decisions on it.

The Education Department has said that some private schools have been increasing unfair and excessive fees for the last several years, due to which the economic burden is increasing on middle and lower income groups. The problem became more serious after Kovid, when many schools increased the annual fees from 25% to 30%.

According to the department, in the last 5 to 8 years, there were also complaints from parents that students of 10th and 12th grade were not given admit cards in the name of illegal outstanding fees. Complaints have also been received about some private schools threatening to cut the names of the students for not filling the illegally increased fees in this session.

Along with this, the department has formed high level teams under the leadership of District Magistrates to monitor the complaints of fees and in the same order, on the basis of complaints of parents in DPS Dwarka yesterday, an inquiry was done under the leadership of the District Magistrate.

The Education Department has taken several steps to solve this problem:

1. High level inspections have been started keeping an eye on complaints of fees hike. Recently, investigation was conducted under the leadership of District Magistrate in DPS Dwarka.
2. The recognition of schools on violation of rules can be suspended, canceled or withdrawn. The management of the school can also be taken under itself if needed.
3. Special accounting investigation of the accounts of such schools will also be conducted by a team of senior officers.
4. The process of admission of EWS and DG category students has been facilitated. A nodal officer has also been appointed to solve the problems of books and uniforms.
5. Schools have been instructed not to be forced to buy books or uniforms from a fixed seller. The design of the uniform cannot be changed before three years.
6. Efforts are being made to hear early in cases related to fees hike.

The Directorate of Education has made it clear that strict action will be taken against the schools that increase the fees and illegal fees. The department has said that no compromise will be made with the educational future of students and education will not be allowed to become a medium of commercial benefit.
