The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been accused by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) of raising the application cost for the 2024 CUET-PG, which they describe as a “blatant attack” on higher education possibilities. Declaring the price increase to be “anti-student” and a move toward the “privatization” of education, the SFI has called for a reversal of the decision. Due to a shortage of funding, the NTA is said to have increased the price by Rs 200 for all categories, negatively affecting underprivileged populations and underdeveloped areas. This reasoning is sharply opposed by the SFI, which sees it as a further step toward total commercialization of education.
