Mumbai University hikes fees for several courses after 17 years, colleges welcome move
Mumbai University recently hiked the fees for various courses offered by its departments and affiliated colleges before admissions. This revision comes after a gap of 17 years since the last hike in 2008. According to the university, the fee hike proposal had been pending for years due to the complexity of the decision. The final resolution was passed in a meeting of the Academic Council last year, and colleges were notified via circulars before the academic year 2025-26 admission process began. Some courses, especially those which are traditional and aided ones, have witnessed marginal fee hikes: from Rs 3,970 to Rs 4,501 for Bachelor of Arts (BA), from Rs 5,170 to Rs 5,701 for Bachelor of Science (BSc), and from Rs 3,970 to Rs 4,501 for Bachelor of Commerce (BCom). However, a few other popular courses, particularly those from the category of professional courses, have seen a more than marginal fee hike. For example, the Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) fee is increased to Rs 20,451 from Rs 12,030 and the Bachelor of Accounting and Finance (BAF) fee is raised to Rs 20,251 from Rs 12,430. International students admitted to Mumbai University will be charged five times. Highlighting that the fee hike is reasonable, an official from the university said, 'Colleges and departments have been struggling to run various courses with the existing fee structure due to rising costs of everything. Payment of teachers has been the most challenging. There has been no such fee revision for the 17 years, making it justified to review the existing fee structure.' While there is no outcry over fee hikes yet, colleges in the city, on the other hand, have urged that varsity should not wait so long to revise fees. The principal of a college said, 'Wait of 17 years is very long to revise fees of various courses. The government only provides salary grants for teachers appointed to approved posts. With sizable vacancies in the posts of teachers, colleges have to appoint teachers to run the courses. With the government not providing non-salary grants, it becomes very difficult for colleges to run the courses.' The principal of another college said, 'Considering the inflation rate, Mumbai University should rather look at the revision of fees every 2-3 years.'

Early start for 1st-year degree college this year, on June 13
MUMBAI: For the first time, first-year undergraduate classes in colleges affiliated to the University of Mumbai will begin as early as June 13. In contrast, the last academic year had begun only after July 13. The shift comes after the Class 12 board exam results were announced earlier than usual this year. Thane, India - May -05, 2025: HSC 12th results have been declared and students are seen in Thane checking the results on their mobile phone and celebrating ,in Thane,in Mumbai, India, on, Monday, May -05, 2025.

Students can complete the registration process through the official university website: The admission process, conducted at the college level, will cover around 3.28 lakh seats across the humanities, science, and commerce streams. Every year, education experts have voiced concerns about delays in the academic calendar caused by the late start of the admission process. These delays often impact students' learning and academic performance. To address this issue, the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) rescheduled the Class 12 board exams to the earlier window of February 11 to March 11, around 10 days ahead of the usual timeline. The results too were declared within just 47 days, quicker than ever before. Welcoming this change, Parag Ajgaonkar, principal of N M College of Commerce, said, 'This is a positive step for the current academic year. It allows first-year classes to start alongside second- and third-year students, helping colleges follow a unified academic calendar. More importantly, it ensures that students receive at least 90 days of instruction per semester, improving the quality of education.'

Accounting excellence the TAR UMT way
As one of the oldest professions in civilised history, accountancy, finance and business are undoubtedly among the more popular tertiary education options to study in Malaysia or even globally. With so many institutions offering accountancy, finance and business programmes, many students will not be looking for just a degree, they will consider institutions that can provide additional benefits such as an industry-relevant academic syllabus, qualified teaching staff, compelling study experience, or a fast track to a professional qualification. Among the institutions that fulfill all these qualities is Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT), which has produced many accounting, finance and business graduates for over five decades. One of the key aspects that strengthen TAR UMT's position is the university's partnership with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) that dates back to 1971. This long-term partnership has resulted in the university consistently nurturing and producing highly skilled graduates for more than five decades. Such a solid track record has also positioned TAR UMT as ACCA's Platinum Approved Learning Partner, the highest and most prestigious level of approval awarded by ACCA to institution partners that meet their global best practice benchmarks. On top of that, TAR UMT holds the distinction of being the one and only institution in the world to conduct the Internally Assessed ACCA Applied Skills programme. As such, upon completing their studies in relevant accountancy, finance and business degree programmes, TAR UMT students will be exempted from up to nine ACCA Applied Knowledge and ACCA Skill level papers. With that, TAR UMT students are able to complete the ACCA examinations much quicker than usual. It is such benefits that draw many students like Ng Shu Cynn and Er Xin Ni to pursue their studies at TAR UMT. Shu Cynn who completed her Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) programme, also added another feather to her cap by scoring the highest mark in Malaysia and fourth in the World for the Advanced Taxation (ATX) paper in the ACCA September 2024 examination. "Studying the ACCA syllabus would have been more challenging if I did not have knowledgeable and supportive lecturers. They have been an important part of my journey in preparation for the examinations.' "In addition, with the exemptions, I am now only one paper away from completing my ACCA exam, which will give me a huge advantage in my own professional growth," said Shu Cynn, who is currently working as a tax associate. Xin Ni, another Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) graduate, echoed Shu Cynn's sentiments about the advantages of studying for ACCA in TAR UMT. The Kuala Lumpur-born lass obtained the highest mark in Malaysia for the Advanced Financial Management (AFM) paper and highest combined mark in Malaysia for the ACCA June 2024 examinations. 'Based on my own study experience, I can confidently say that the opportunity to graduate with both an honours degree and a globally recognised professional qualification is a huge boon to those who are aiming for a bright future in this field. 'Although at one point I had to study online due to the pandemic, my lecturers have always gone the extra mile to help us understand the topics. Their methods of breaking down complicated concepts using simple metaphors, and encouraging active discussions using real-world case studies were of great help to me. I not only understood what was being taught but I have also picked up good interactive skills which are helping me a lot in my career.' 'I can now tick completing ACCA examinations and move on to obtaining the necessary work experience to become a full-fledged ACCA member in the future,' Xin Ni added. TAR UMT's continuous dedication and commitment to bring the globally recognised professional accountancy qualification to Malaysia has resulted in the University producing over 100 ACCA prizewinners since 1971. To find out more about accountancy, finance and business programmes offered in TAR UMT, visit the varsity during its Open Day from April 26 - 27, 10am to 5pm, at TAR UMT KL campus and/or all TAR UMT branches nationwide.
