Telangana High Court lets engineering colleges collect fees if govt delays payment

On 2026-04-04, the Telangana High Court in Hyderabad issued an interim order allowing private engineering colleges to collect tuition fees directly from eligible students if the state government does not release fee reimbursement payments for the 2026-27 academic year. The court said the arrangement is temporary and directed colleges to refund the fees if the petitions are ultimately dismissed.
