# TG EAPCET toppers denied full fee reimbursement at JNTU-Hyderabad 2026-08-08T00:08:49+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Telangana Today reports that top rankers of TG EAPCET 2024 who joined JNTU-Hyderabad College of Engineering in Kukatpally are being denied full fee reimbursement. The government has sanctioned only Rs 35,000 per year despite the annual tuition fee being Rs 1 lakh. Students like B Neelendra (rank 4,037) and G Durga Prasad (rank 2,763) received only Rs 35,000 each for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years, instead of the full Rs 2 lakh for two years. Under existing rules, students with ranks below 10,000 are eligible for full fee reimbursement with an income certificate, while SC, ST, and Minority students get it regardless of rank. However, OC and BC students are being given only the base fee of Rs 35,000, forcing them to pay the balance. The Students Protection Forum has urged the college principal to form a committee to address the issue. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Tags: education policy, fee reimbursement, JNTU-Hyderabad, student rights, Telangana government, TG EAPCET Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tg-eapcet-toppers-denied-full-fee-reimbursement-at-jntu-hyderabad/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
