New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi has cut the cost for MTech, and other postgraduate programs, based on the committee's recommendations to investigate MTech students' complaints over the tuition increase.
IIT Delhi announced in an official statement that the cost had been decreased for new PG students who enrolled in the second semester of 2021-22 or after.
