Engineering students protest fee hike : Nearly 6,500 students of an engineering college in Vasai boycotted classes and locked the campus gates to protest against a fee hike on Monday. The Manickpur police were called in to calm the protesters down. This is the second time in the past one week that students of Bhausaheb Vartak Engineering College have stayed away from classes. They say they will continue to disrupt teaching schedules until the fee hike is withdrawn. “We paid Rs 48,850 during our admission, and now the management is asking us to pay Rs 12,000 more. We will not accept this,” said a first-year student of mechanical engineering. The college, he claimed, had not given any explanation for increasing the fees.
