IS SFG NOW REALLY SUBISIDISED PROGRAMME???

This time for online student SFG-RLG fees is 2500+GST that comes to RS 2950 per month. Its some what unfair against students  who genuinely give their paper. Also Entrance test fee was raised to Rs 826/-.Its getting Expensive

Hello, you can expect fees to go up by 5-10% each year. This has to do with increase in cost of everything - right from rentals to wages to software services to even Google / Outlook licences for work which increases anywhere between 5% to 30% in every year.

Regional centre partners are not willing to do it for the fee that is being charged per student. We are not able to sustain the program in our own regional centres - and we may have to close some of them. It keeps people busy and overworked.

If it can be done for less, someone will do it for less - but does not seem likely without compromising on a few quality aspects, or someone with big pockets who can sustain it for long in hope of reaping rich rewards in future ( read funded companies )

We have a good acumen to run programs that benefit students as well as that do not cost a bomb, but it is increasingly becoming difficult for us to sustain, or we may have to get funded.

If it was a banking or SSC paper we would have been able to do it for less, but for civils paper, it will be difficult.

Also, our philosophy
