45.2% increase in the tuition fee in a span of 4 years whereas increase in the faculty is 2.4%. Also no considerable increase in the infrastructure. Enough with the reasons. This time we are not gonna stop unless the hike is declined.

Nearly 12 hours since four students are on a hunger strike, and 32 hours of protest. The administration refuses to answer. Is there any empathy, as people continue to study for their exams too?

All the 3 BITS Campuses have been peacefully protesting, going on hunger strikes, marching in these scorching summers to fight the annual 15% rise on fees. Is affordable higher education not our right?

When - Fitness & Hospital chains, Housing projects and Homeless people, Educational institutions' fees & Employability institutions - grow simultaneously, its time to tune into the fundamentals and realign with the foundations of the Society. #RollBackBITSPILANIFeesHike
An overview of the persistently disproportionate hikes in the annual fees of BITS Pilani with the matter now precipitating to an alarming and unacceptable crescendo. Hoping the current batch gets some long overdue respite. Intervene, @HRDMinistry! #RollBackBITSPilaniFeeHike
We need to make sure that the administration doesn't try to dodge the issue by construing this as a simple request for consideration. This is a serious issue they have been dodging for a while now. They can't do that any longer. Justice must be done. #RollBackBITSPilaniFeeHike
Tough to see my alma mater losing meritorious people because of the hefty fee. Although there are multiple scholarships available on campus, not many are eligible for it considering the factors in focus to award the scholarship.

#rollbackbitspilanifeehike NOT FAIR, fee must be the same for throughout the duration of study as declared at the time of admission.
IITs also follow the same principle.
"BITS Pilani has been increasing the fee by 15% since 2008. It has gotten too high to be affordable and over 2000 students are holding a peaceful protest right now. We want a solution NOW. #BITSAgainstFeeHike#RollBackBITSPilaniFeeHike"
"If you can't afford private institutions, go to government institutions". This is the state of the youth in our country, protesting for fee hike in the middle of finals.
@narendramodi Your country's youth is in trouble.

BITS was a world class( Western style)tech university 25 years ago. In terms of infra it probably wasn’t matching up to its peers in the West but it certainly was made up by the way quality & enthusiasm of faculty, the way university system was 3/n #RollBackBITSPilaniFeeHike
