Delhi Government Suspended DPS Rohini's Recognition For Hiking Fees Against Rules

The department has announced that students will be refunded for any excess fees they were charged and that the school will be allowed to finish the 2022-23 session with recognition. They have assured current students that the suspension of recognition will not affect them in any way. 

DPS Rohini has been asked not to take any new admissions for the 2023-24 session, and after the current session is finished, all students will be transferred to nearby recognized schools run by the DPS Society, or to nearby government schools, with the consent of their parents.

The Department of Education (DoE) said that it received complaints that the school was charging higher fees during the academic year 2021-22, as well as higher fee arrears for the academic year 2020-21. It was also accused of refusing to give students a 15% deduction on their annual school fees.

“The school authorities were directed not to increase any fees for the academic years 2018-19 and 2019-20, and to roll back any increased fees and refund or adjust the amount charged over and above the fee structure of the school submitted in 2015-16,” the DoE statement said. “The school submitted its response on the matter, but it was not satisfactory.”
