Students Demand Refunds Over Unapproved Fees at ILS Law

Students at Pune's ILS Law College are actively seeking refunds for fees they claim were illegally charged under unapproved heads. This movement gained traction after the Directorate of Higher Education (DHE) ordered the college to reimburse Rs1.04 lakh, plus 6% interest, to a student for fees collected "illegally and in a non-transparent manner" between the 2020-21 and 2024-25 academic years.

In response to the DHE's April 13 directive, over 30 students have formally approached the college demanding their own refunds. Many students expressed concerns about the consistent collection of "other fees" annually without clear explanations or state approval. They believe the recent DHE order validates their claims of financial irregularities.
