Officials said if any affiliated institute charged more money than what was notified, action would be taken.

“Some students and parents informed the university that some affiliated institutes are charging more than the notified fee. They are seeking this money in the name of revised fee structures. The university will act against them,” said officials.

The Delhi government constituted a State Fee Regulatory Committee in February 2013 to determine fee in private institutions in Delhi.
