Patil said, “Keeping student welfare in mind, we have decided to continue the same fees fixed for 2024–25 for the academic year 2025–26. This will bring uniformity and clarity to the fee structure of these courses and significantly reduce the technical difficulties students face in the scholarship application process.”

With universities now responsible for determining fees, approval processes, fee structures, and scholarship procedures are expected to become more streamlined.

The move will also benefit students from economically weaker sections by making the scholarship process faster and more accessible.

“It will make professional education more transparent and student-friendly,” the minister said.
