Tibetan students at Jawaharlal Nehru University are urging the Central Tibetan Administration and the Indian Ministry of Human Resource and Development to act upon the massive fee hike imposed upon them under the foreign student category. Being categorised as foreign students means that the tuition fees for Tibetans have increased ten-fold since 2019. 42 Tibetans passed entrance exams for JNU last year but only 10 could afford the increased fee.
