The Karnataka Examinations Authority issues a warning to medical colleges against collecting unauthorised caution deposits and additional university fees from students during admissions. The authority states that institutions must strictly follow the approved fee structure and admission guidelines.
KEA officials clarify that students should not be forced to pay extra charges beyond officially approved tuition and mandatory fees. The warning comes after complaints from candidates and parents regarding unexpected payment demands during the admission process.
Authorities emphasise that any violation of fee regulations may lead to strict action against institutions found engaging in unauthorised collections. Students are also encouraged to verify fee details through official KEA notifications before making any payments.
The authority advises candidates to immediately report suspicious fee demands or unofficial payment requests to the concerned regulatory bodies. The move aims to ensure transparency and protect students from financial exploitation during professional course admissions.
