This year, the UoH administration has decided to make admissions to the undergraduate and integrated programmes offered by it through the CUET UG. Students questioned the administration as to how it would charge a separate fee for admission counselling, while only one fee was charged for both entrance test and admission counselling last year.

“A separate fee for admission counselling application will burden students from economically weaker sections. We had discussions with the Vice Chancellor on this issue. However, it was not fruitful. We will again meet the administration on Monday to press our demands to waive off the fee for admission counselling application”, UoH Students’ union General Secretary Gopi Swamy said.
