The Gujarat government has signalled that it may revise the fee for the DElEd program, a decision that follows a long period of stability in the charge. The fee has been unchanged since 2006, making this potential adjustment a significant change for students and institutions alike.
No specific figures or timelines have been released by the authorities, and the announcement came without a detailed explanation of the factors driving the review. The state has not yet indicated whether the change will be an increase or a reduction.
