Last month, students made allegations against the Allahabad University for increasing the fee by 400 % after which the varsity formed a committee of teachers and district administrative officers to discuss the alleged fee hike. Due to rapid hike in fee, a few students attempted self-immolation but the act was foiled by the police deployed on the spot.
However the Vice Chancellor, Sangita Srivastava refuted the claims and said the allegations were "misdirected" and promised to waive off the entire fee of those hailing from poor background and orphaned during Covid.
