13 November, Ranchi: A delegation from the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) submitted a memorandum to the Governor and Chief Minister protesting the fee hike in the Jharkhand Academic Council’s matriculation and intermediate examinations. The organization demanded the immediate withdrawal of the fee increase for the 2026-27 academic session and the restoration of the previous fee structure.

The delegation, led by AJSU State President Om Verma, stated through the memorandum that thousands of students in the state are already deprived of scholarships. In such a situation, the fee hike would impose an additional financial burden on students and their parents. Keeping student welfare in mind, the organization demanded the withdrawal of the increased exam fees. State Secretary Rajesh Singh, Anushka Sinha, Greater Ranchi President Aman Sahu, and other office bearers and members of the organization were present on the occasion.
