He said the poor people cannot afford to bear this burden. Majority of people in the state are living in poverty and are unable to make both ends meet.
This hike will dim the prospects of their wards for higher studies in colleges. This will also pave way and excuse for private educational institution to hike their free also.
Speaking on the occasion Bakshi said, "Earlier the admission in colleges were made according to the merit, but now the selection in admission are being made on the basis of common entrance test for which separate fee for course has to be paid, the fee for common admission test excludes the admission to be paid after selection." "These tactics of higher education department to raise the revenue has thurst extra burden on student community.
NPSU strongly condemns the move, he added. He appealed the state government to withdraw this decision in larger interest of student community particularly poor students belonging to far flung areas.

Due to increase in fee structure by the state govt. the students who were already suffering presently were not be able to efforts their expenses in education and this will not only effect the students community but also their families.Yogesh Talwar also said that the 30% seats reduced by the govt. for the city colleges are totally against the student's community due to which a large no. of students will have a lot. According to him, every time students have to fallow the path of agitation for their admission, so govt. should increase the seats instead for reducing them.
