Annexure “J”
                 
Justification for the proposed fees:
                 
The following points may kindly be considered for justification of the proposed fees
                 
1. Rajendra Mane College of Engineering and Technology, Ambav (Devrukh) was established in the year 1998 in rural area for the benefit and upliftment of the region. The college is relatively new and upcoming. Development of more infrastructure, construction of new Laboratories for Mechanical Engg. Department and Automobile Engg. Department is in progress. Also we are constructing Staff Quarters at Devrukh. An estimate cost of Rs. 1 Crore is required to complete these works.
                 
2. University of Mumbai has revised the Syllabus for all the engineering courses.

1. The purchase of equipments, instruments, systems and other material as per the    requirement of the new Syllabus is in progress. An estimate cost of Rs. 1.5 Crores is proposed to meet the above requirement in coming two years.

2. Procurement of books as per the requirement of new syllabus is also in progress. An estimated cost of Rs. 3.5 Lakhs is proposed to meet the requirement.
                 
3. We are spending approximately 20 Lakhs rupees for Sports, Games, Gymnasium and maintaining the grounds for Hockey, Foot Ball, Cricket, Basket Ball, Athletics etc.
                 
4. Although our approved fees is Rs.34,600.00 at present, we are giving concession to meritorious students as well as students who are coming from the lower strata of society and who have a strained financial condition. This concession in fees is around Rs.10,000.00 per student and is an indirect expenditure, which is borne by the college.
                 

5. The Management of RMCET is putting all possible efforts to recruit the best new staff for the college. This will put the expenditure of around 20 Lakhs. In this way we are going to pay the salary of the Teaching and Non-Teaching staff members Rs. 1.5 Crores per annum. Due to revision of D.A & merger of D.A in basic salary, as well as due to increase in teaching staff, our salary cost will increase from Rs.72 Lakhs in the previous year (2004-05) to Rs.126 Lakhs in the current year (2005-06). This means that the salary cost which is the major head of expenditure will increase by more than 50%.
                 
The above heads of expenditures including administrative expenses justify fees of Rs.40,000.00 per student.
                 
So in this contest, Management of RMCET is requesting to the Chairman of Shikshan Shulka Samiti to increase the fees, as it is mentioned above. It will be very kind consideration to run the college smoothly.
