Assam University Students Protest Fee Hike, Admissions Put on Hold

Students at Assam University, Silchar, staged a day-long protest against a sharp fee hike, with some course fees nearly doubling. Led by student unions, they blocked campus entry and demanded a rollback. The university cited infrastructure needs for the revision but has now formed a committee to review the decision. Admissions for intermediate semesters are on hold pending the panel’s report.
