NSUI demands repeal of GST from admission, exam fees

Demanding the repeal of Goods and Services Tax (GST) from admission and examination fees, the National Students Union of India (NSUI) on Tuesday termed it "Gloomy/Grotesque Students Tax".

"The imposition of the 18 per cent GST on the admission and examination forms for youth is a way to deny education to those coming from economically weaker and backward sections of the Indian society," the Congress student wing said in a statement.

"GST has also been levied on sports facilities in places like DDA sports complex, which are availed by common people," the NSUI said.
