In a landmark judgement, the Supreme Court of India(SCI)on Monday May 02,2016 ruled that Capitation Fee being charged by the educational institutes is illegal.
Taking note of hard reality of very high capitation fee taken by various colleges for admission, the apex court said that educational institutions should not just focus on making profits, but run on 'no-profit-no-loss' basis
A five-judge Constitution bench of Justices AR Dave, AK Sikri, RK Agrawal, AK Goel and R Banumathi that commercialisation of education sector is not permissible and put the onus on the government to curb malpractices.
The bench observed that the admission process should only be based on merits.
While expressing concern over the prevalence of capitation culture in the country, the SC categorically said, “profiteering and commercialisation are not permitted and no capitation fee can be charged.”
"Education is treated as a noble occupation on 'no-profit-no-loss' basis. Thus, those who establish and are managing the educational institutions are not expected to indulge in profiteering or commercialise this noble activity,”
