Pharmacy colleges in Telangana push for direct fee reimbursement to students amid dues
Hyderabad: Pharmacy aspirants eligible for fee reimbursement may have to pay the entire course fee upfront in the 2025–26 academic year as colleges, waiting for the state to clear pending dues, want the govt to transfer funds directly to students instead of institutions. The move comes after the govt failed to clear reimbursement dues for the past four years, leaving many private pharmacy colleges in a financial crunch. College managements say they can no longer afford to wait for payments and are asking students to pay the full fee at the time of admission, with the option to claim the money back from the govt later. There are about 70,000 students enrolled in B Pharm, Pharm D, and M Pharm courses across 113 pharmacy colleges. 'Of the total students, 65% to 70% of them are eligible for fee reimbursement. How are we supposed to survive when the majority are not paying fees for years together?' questioned K Ramadas, honorary chairman, Telangana State Pharmacy Colleges Managements Association, adding that starting this year, they want the govt to release fee reimbursement or scholarship to students directly. 'We don't want to be in the middle and wait for years to get our fees,' he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cinnamon: The Greatest Enemy of Blood Sugar Magazine Glyco Learn More Undo As per managements, the govt must clear dues of about Rs 550 crore to pharmacy colleges in Telangana. The fee for B Pharm is between Rs 31,000 and Rs 1.2 lakh per year, and for Pharm D the fee is between Rs 68,000 and Rs 1.3 lakh, and for M Pharm, it is Rs 1.1 lakh per annum. While students from SC and ST categories get full reimbursement, other eligible candidates, such as BCs, get minimum fees. 'Because of the pending dues, we are unable to pay our teaching and non-teaching staff on time. This is resulting in many talented employees leaving their teaching careers and moving towards other jobs. Keeping the current situation in mind, we want students and their parents and the govt to implement our new proposal—paying directly to students,' said Pulla Ramesh Babu, general secretary of the association, adding that the govt should release pending dues in two to three instalments. Last year, about 9,000 students joined B Pharm first year and about 1,700 joined Pharm D first year. Officials from the Telangana Council of Higher Education, meanwhile, said that managements can make an appeal, but can't take any decision. 'This is a policy decision that needs to come from the govt,' said V Balakista Reddy, chairman, TGCHE.

Tech education in MP in trouble amid closures & empty classrooms
Bhopal: A systematic and institutional crisis looms over the state as technical education in Madhya Pradesh faces difficulties, especially in engineering, architecture, pharmacy, and MCA programmes, leading to widespread institutional closures. Many institutions are still doing well but the bulk is on the brink. Those that shut down had either accumulated significant bank loans or converted into Ayurveda colleges and universities, while some other facilities were transformed into schools. Drop In Enrolment Operational challenges severely affect numerous technical institutions across Madhya Pradesh. Many engineering colleges experienced significant drops in enrolment, with some functioning at under 10% capacity. This situation forced administrators to seek alternative income sources or cease operations entirely. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brits Over 50 are Raving About These Pain-Relieving Barefoot Shoes - Here's Why Foot Insider Learn More Undo Institutions established during the technical education expansion of the early 2000s now encounter difficulties maintaining facilities and paying staff. Financial pressures result in lower academic quality and insufficient laboratory equipment. Several colleges defaulted on infrastructure development loans, further creating banking disputes. Evolution & Devolution Of Institutions In MP The fates of students are at risk in the state as technical institutions in Madhya Pradesh have experienced various outcomes and fates, including closures, loss of recognition, or status changes. While some ceased operations entirely, others lost their official standing or evolved into private universities. These developments impacted various programmes, including B Arch, B Pharm, BE, and MCA across urban centres like Bhopal, Indore, and Gwalior. B Arch programmes in Bhopal, Gwalior, and Indore have experienced closure. Similar outcomes affected B Pharm and BE programmes across these cities. Some institutions lost recognition for failing to maintain standards. A particular MTECH programme in Bhopal is 'Not Affiliated', affecting educational quality and degree value. Multiple B Pharm and BE programmes now operate under private university status in Bhopal and Indore. MCA programmes across major cities underwent similar transitions. 'Progressive Closure' appears in official records, indicating gradual operational cessation. This applies to B Pharm programmes in Shivpuri and BE programmes across major cities, involving systematic reduction in student intake. These alterations significantly affect students and educational provisions. Closures disrupt academic progress, while loss of recognition diminishes qualification value. Closures, Going Private & The Exploitation Of Students That Follows Private status transitions affect fee structures and admission procedures. Such institutions must meet changing requirements and maintain standards while managing economic factors and policy changes but this seems far from the case. Private university conversions introduced new opportunities and challenges, as well as new ways to exploit students. While gaining operational independence, institutions often increase fees. This status enabled curriculum changes but required adaptation to systems. Official data demonstrates technical education's evolving nature. These changes in Madhya Pradesh's technical education sector created has widespread effects. B Arch programme closures particularly affected aspiring architects, requiring students to seek alternatives or study elsewhere. B Pharm programme closures substantially impacted pharmaceutical education. In cases in states and city, students were compelled to transfer mid-course, affecting their academic progression and career planning. Finding equivalent local programmes posed further challenges. Engineering education experienced extensive changes through BE programme modifications. "Closures affected thousands across various specialisations, with students completing degrees under uncertain conditions," said a student Aniruddh Saxena. Students & Staff Seeking Employment Find Uncertain Terrain Hard To Navigate "Loss of recognition particularly affected employment prospects. Employers scrutinise institutional standing during recruitment. Students from unrecognised programmes faced placement difficulties, often requiring additional certifications," said a teacher without quoting his name. MCA programme changes reflected computing education developments. Some programmes adapted to emerging technologies, while others struggled with relevance. Private university status enabled curriculum flexibility but at what cost? Regulatory authorities significantly influenced these institutional changes as well. They assessed academic standards and infrastructure requirements. Non-compliant institutions had to face various consequences. Caught in this uncertain crossfire, the staff members and teaching faculties too encountered employment uncertainties during transitions. Many had to relocate or seek alternative positions. Administrative personnel adapted to new systems. Local Economies Bear Brunt The brunt of all of this was also borne by local economies, which experienced the effects of these changes. Businesses serving educational needs were adversely affected by reduced populations of students. Support services too saw altered demand patterns. These changes are contributing in shaping the broader landscape of technical education in MP and the situation may get more dire if quality education and the work required to bring it about are ignored.
