WBUT officials, however, said there is no cap on fees under the management quota . The fees for a seat under the management quota is Rs 5-8 lakh, nearly 3-4 times the cost incurred by a regular student.
The private colleges have their own argument. Institute of Engineering and Management, Salt Lake, which is one of the most sought-after private engineering institutions, has its intake in management quota reduced by half. It said it took more students only when some already admitted left the colleges.
