Capitation fee is illegal in educational institutions

In a historic judgement, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that demand of capitation fee by educational institutions is illegal. The apex court held that the education sector must run on ‘no-profit-no-loss’ basis and commercialization and exploitation of the sector won’t be allowed.  The court also sought governments intervention in the sector to promote merit based admission and curb malpractices.
