Dear Sir/ Madam,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern that is affecting many students at our college, Sri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management (SMVITM), Vishwothama Nagar, Bantakal Udupi - 574115. which is affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU).
Recently, the college has begun imposing a fine of ₹1500 per day and total of ₹7500 per week on students who are unable to attend placement classes. This policy is being enforced regardless of whether the student has a genuine reason for their absence. Furthermore, the college is threatening to suspend students and restrict them from attending regular classes if they fail to pay these fines.The total amount collected from these fines is estimated to be around ₹3 lakhs.
This practice is not only unethical and unprofessional, but it also places an undue financial burden on many students. A significant number of students at our college come from families that are below the poverty line, and these fines represent a substantial financial hardship for them.
Education is a right, not a privilege, and it is crucial that all students have equal access to learning opportunities without fear of punitive financial penalties. I kindly request that the university grievance department look into this matter and take appropriate action to rectify this situation.
Along with Complaint details i have attached photos of fine imposed on each student.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Best regards,
Third Year Student, SMVITM
