6th Pay Commission: Fees increased by up to three times in central schools

New Delhi, Sep 9 (PTI) Studying in Central schools will now be costlier as the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghthan has increased the fees by up to three times from October.

HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today defended the new fee regime on the ground of the monthly allowance of up to Rs 1000 per child being given to the central government employees.

“Under the 6th Pay Commission, the government is giving up to Rs 1000 as monthly allowance per child for maximum two children. Even after the increase, the fee is less than Rs 1000 in the KVs. So the parents would not face any problem,” he said.





However, children from BPL families and girls will be exempted from paying any fee.

As per the new fee regime, science students in class XII will have to pay Rs 800 monthly towards tuition, computer charges and campus development.
