Amid a relay hunger strike by some students at IIT Bombay, the premier engineering institute defended its decision to increase fees.
A day after the hunger strike began, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay said that adjustment of charges was needed to "stay alive and grow". Authorities clarified that only 8% of funding comes from student fees, and operational expenses will still be more than hiked fees.
The institute reportedly said, "The majority of our students realise that the government cannot keep subsidising them beyond a point. IIT Bombay is trying to convince the remaining few students to stop the stir by talking with them."
The fee hike was approved in 2020, but implementation was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to news reports.
Students began their protest after a 35% hike in postgraduate programmes was proposed in July 2022. Increased hostel fees, and tuition fees for PhD and MTech students are reportedly major points of contention. Protesting students have demanded a rollback of the hike.

Amid a political controversy over weekly holidays in some Jharkhand schools, a BJP Member of Parliament claimed that the state was moving towards "Islamisation".
Nishikant Dubey said he was quoting from a state government reply in the Jharkhand Assembly. "Our MLA Anant Ojha asked a question in the state Assembly. I tweeted the reply given by the state government. They admitted that over 500 government schools have Urdu in the name. Over 500 schools have Urdu prayers. Over 500 schools where hands are not folded for prayers. They have weekly holidays on Fridays instead of Sundays. The state is moving towards Islamisation," he said.
Dubey said that he would raise the issue in the Parliament if it is allowed to function. He also called for an investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into a "conspiracy to break the nation".
The BJP MP added, "Government of India should impose President's Rule in Jharkhand. If the entire state is moving towards Islamisation, Bangladesh refugees are being given shelter, ISI activities are increasing. What other options are there? If country doesn't survive, then nothing will survive. This is a big conspiracy to break the nation. Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha are involved in this. Congress has broken the nation once, but wants to do it again."
Jharkhand officials have said that unilateral action by schools without government approval is being probed.
