If these seats were not filled, they were converted into NRI lapse seats, for which Rs 21.50 lakh was collected as annual tuition fee. Meanwhile, the committee has permitted institutions to collect an additional Rs 60,000 as development fee and has directed managements to cover all the students under a students' group insurance scheme. "The above fee does not include hostel, transport and mess charges, which are optional for students. Institutions are directed to submit the details of the above fee to the selection committee well in advance before counselling," the committee said. The panel directs that the institution shall not collect or levy any other recurring or non-recurring fee, including capitation, it said.
