The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi has given Tibetan students an exemption from the usual fees charged to international students; this fee, which was increased three years ago, has precluded many Tibetans for attending university and Tibetans have been lobbying for some time for it to be dropped. JNU’s Deputy Registrar announced the fee will now be “at par with that of the similarly admitted Indian students.”
