Bhopal: In an attempt to streamline the payment of fees, Barkatullah University (BU) has decided to launch on-line fee payment system soon facilitating the students to pay all types of fees on-line.
Barkatullah University registrar Dr Sanjay Tiwari said that a technical committee has been formed to submit a report on introduction of on-line fee payment services.
"A technical committee has been formed and it has been asked to prepare a report on on-line fee payment. The services are expected to be launched soon," he added.
At present, students have to submit their fee through challan and draft, a time consuming process. On several occasions, it took more than six months for the university to get the money sent through draft in its account.
A nationalised bank has signed a memorandum of understanding with the university for launching the on-line fee payment services. The decision to launch on-line fee payment was taken after an alleged fraudulent method of fee collection by a Betul-based college came to light and the university detected it, BU sources said.
"The university found financial discrepancy in the figures of the submitted fee and the fee charged by the college. This forced the authorities to think for an on-line fee payment option," sources said.
Elaborating advantages of on-line fee payment system, the registrar said that it would help both students and university.
"It will ease the burden of the finance department in accounting the fees submitted by the students. Besides, students will not waste their time in long queues in the banks. It will also give more convenience to students in rural areas," he added.
