@angelforme27 Guys which government college are you talking about? I just had to spend 4000 for 2 semester and 4000 for hostel per year

@metaright My per year engineering fees is 1.9L

@metaright Even 47k annual cost is not affordable. Daym, I had to take loan even for 25k annual fee.

@metaright Recently completed degree in a private uni with a govt seat. 105000 a year with 100000 hostel fees per year.

Freshers now have to pay 5L+ per year for a merit seat (private entrance exam). Due to COVID and subsequent decrease in fees due to online stuff my 4 years of education costed me a little over 8L with all expenses. That's including merit scholarships I got.

School fees and related expenditures progressively increased over the years, with the least being 60k and the most I had to spend was still about 1L a year.

1L for lkg to 12th is just incomprehensible.

@itoldmeso 11-12 was 5 lac for me after 50% discount.

@sehnsucht9 What college is costing 1 crore? Only private medical colleges might even touch that figure lol
