Students face increased counselling charges for BBA, BCA admissions after shift to DTE
Indore: Students seeking admission in BBA and BCA courses are facing a sharp increase in counselling charges this year, following the shift of the admission process from the Department of Higher Education (DHE) to the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). With choice filling beginning on Thursday, students are now required to pay Rs1530, including Rs130 as portal charges— 10 times more than the Rs150 fee charged until last year. The sudden hike has added to the financial strain for students, particularly because BBA and BCA courses already have higher academic costs compared to other undergraduate programmes. The examination fee for BBA and BCA is around Rs4000, while for traditional courses like BA and BCom, it stands at approximately Rs2000. "This increase in the registration fee is a huge burden. Many of us come from middle-class families and already struggle with high exam fees and other academic expenses. We also appeared for various entrance tests which are heavy on our pockets," said Priyanshi Jain, an aspirant applying for BBA. "The jump from Rs150 to Rs1530 feels unfair and unplanned." Many students are approaching the colleges expressing concern over the steep registration charges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Visste du dette?

We plan to write to the department requesting a reconsideration or reduction," a senior professor said. While choice filling was scheduled to start on Wednesday as per DTE's schedule, the portal became operational only by Thursday morning. However, students were greeted with a small but welcome change—the addition of a third specialisation in the BBA course. Alongside Hotel Management and Foreign Trade, students can now opt for BBA in Hospital Administration (HA). The inclusion came after repeated discussions between college representatives and DTE officials. College administrators urged the authorities to allow all three specialisations under plain BBA to widen students' career options. Despite the new addition, the increased counselling charges remain a major concern among aspiring students and their families.
