JKSA delegation meets Minister

Srinagar, Jan 13: A delegation of Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA), led by its National Secretary Malik Adnan, met minister Javed Ahmad Dar to discuss the long-pending issue of excess fee refunds for students of the Government B Sc Nursing College, Jammu.

According to a press note, the delegation also highlighted various other issues faced by students.

The issue, lingering since 2021, pertains to the students of the Government Nursing College Gandhinagar, now renamed Government B Sc Nursing College Jammu. Malik Adnan, the National Secretary of the Association, said that these students had secured admission through the JKBOPEE Entrance Test and were top-ranking candidates from the Jammu division.

However, they were charged exorbitant fees—Rs 70,000 for APL students and Rs 50,000 for BPL students—far higher than the fee structure prescribed by the Health & Medical Education Department.
