Respected Sir,

We the students of Department of Fashion Technology, (SEMESTER-5) of NIFT KANNUR

would like to bring some key points in the notice, regarding fee concession from our annual
fee structure. This is to inform the authorities of NIFT that during the period of uncertainty
due to Covid-19, it is difficult for us to pay the wholesome amount.
During this pandemic situation many of our parents have faced loss in their businesses, and
challenges in the professional front which have left families affected on a larger part.
1.      Since we are having our semester online, where we are all aware that the
institute provides us with the course which is completely practical oriented, we are
therefore not using the labs, library, infrastructure and the required atmosphere for
our studies, hence the majority of facilities are cut directly on our part.
2.      To mention, students residing in the hostel haven’t used the facility since the
mid of march and paying for the amenities like electricity, water, Wi-Fi, etc., without
any usage seems difficult on our part.
3.      This to bring in your kind notice, that we students are compromising on a very
large part regarding semester running online, where it is very difficult for us to
concentrate and get fully involved with the studies, due to improper atmosphere
and environment around, with no required facilities as per the course, it will be
unfair for our parents to pay the wholesome amount without having all the
provisions required.
4.      We want the authority to definitely consider, where due to pandemic there has
been a huge loss in employment and a considerable fall in the economic status of the
people, parents are not in a state of providing the considered amount as per the
given fee structure, as there other things to be taken care as well on the part of
holding lives in the families.
5.      We are also aware of the fact, that certain part of our fees is converted into the
salaries of faculties and staff members of the institution. Therefore, we would like to
propose a minimum of 50% reduction from our fee structure. This will majorly help
as a relief to many of the parents in this Covid-19 situation.
6.      We would like you to consider hostel fees since we are not occupying the rooms
and not using any of the facility provided. But since our belongings are still under the
security of the institution, we would like you to consider the per cent i.e., a 60%
reduction in the hostel fees as well.
We would like to request the authority to give consideration to the stated problem and
provide us with a revised fee structure due to Covid-19, which will ultimately help parents in
reducing the burden.
We will be grateful for your consideration.
Sincerely
Students of DFT 5
