What is happening in the name of........

Teaching a subject after accepting money from the students is called tuition, if the subject is a part of the curriculum. Whatever the alias we use, it will remain as a tuition class. Java and C++ are there in the syllabus of IT, MCA and CS courses (see the topics of the subject CS/IT2k 507P). In the new sillabus, it is there in third semester.Conducting tuition classes inside the campus is not appreciable and it is illegal. It is a sort of financial exploitation.

In your college, Dept of CSE anounced classes on various subjects in the name of   'xxx'. If it's for the wellbeing of the students, the fee should be nominal, Rs50/- or a maximum of  Rs 100/- . This is what commented by Prof:Roy Choudhary, who was a member of NBA team. 

Moreover, there exist some questions.

1)     Who has given permission to conduct official tuition classes?

2)     How do you fix the fee? Is there any regulatory committee?

3)     Students have already paid a huge amount as tuition fee. After that, collecting an amount for teaching a subject is financial exploitation. How do you justify this exploitation?

4)     Are these faculties willing to teach these subjects to help the students for their regular labs and classes to avoid money factor?

The department should conduct courses on subjects that are not included in the curriculum. A   nominal fee should be collected from the students, and at the same time it should never become financial burden. These courses will help the students to learn and improve their knowledge on new areas of current technologies.
