It needs mention here that the fees of various courses in the university have been hiked steeply. The students� delegation met Vice Chancellor Dr Kandarpa Kumar Deka and requested him to concede to their demands but the Vice Chancellor was not relenting. Deka told the students that there would be no rollback .
Arindam Buragohain, general secretary, Post Graduate Students� Union (PGSU) of the university informed that the students would not keep silent on the issue till the authorities give in. �Fee hike is real injustice for the poor students who cannot afford to pursue higher studies for lack of money,� he said.
