Delhi Technological University Declares 1,293 Students Defaulters Over Unpaid Fees
Delhi Technological University (DTU) has officially designated 1,293 students as defaulters for failing to submit their annual tuition fees for the 2025-26 academic session. The list includes a significant number of undergraduates enrolled in the second, third, and fourth years of the B.Tech, B.Tech (lateral entry), and B.Des programs.
University Issues Official Fee Notice
The university has released a formal notice detailing the outstanding payments. According to the notice, the defaulting students collectively owe approximately ₹2,56,700, which includes applicable late fines. DTU has, however, offered these students a final opportunity to clear their dues without further escalation of penalties.
Students named in the defaulters’ list have been instructed to complete their fee payments before January 15, 2026. Failure to do so may result in additional consequences, including potential restrictions on academic activities or examination eligibility.
PhD Scholars Also Required to Pay Fees
In a separate directive, the university has mandated that all PhD scholars who enrolled in the January session must also pay their fees for the 2025-26 academic year. A grace period has been provided, with no late fee applicable for payments made on or before January 31, 2026.
However, scholars who miss this deadline will face a late fee structure. Payments made between February 1 and February 10, 2026, will incur a late charge of ₹2,000. The penalty amount will continue to increase progressively for those who fail to pay within this window as well.
Fee Concession Committee Meeting Postponed
DTU has also communicated the postponement of a scheduled meeting of the Fee Concession Committee, which was intended to review applications from postgraduate students seeking financial relief. The delay stems from a procedural issue: several students submitted their applications with self-attested guardian signatures instead of obtaining the mandatory signature from their parent or legal guardian.
University officials have reiterated that the guardian’s signature on fee concession applications is a compulsory requirement. Students are advised to resubmit their applications with the correct documentation once the committee’s new meeting date is announced.
The university has urged all affected students to act promptly and settle their dues within the stipulated deadlines to avoid further complications, including the possibility of being barred from attending classes or appearing in examinations.
