Mumbai University (MU) has issued notices to three colleges on the Somaiya Vidyavihar campus following complaints of charging “unauthorised” excess fees from students. This action was in response to the allegations by the Maharashtra Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena (MNVS), which accused the colleges of imposing exorbitant fees for aided programs despite receiving government grants and violating multiple state university regulations.

However, the Somaiya Trust has clarified that the fee revision was conducted in consultation with the competent authority at Mumbai University and strictly adheres to the applicable norms and regulations. The colleges in question are: S.K. Somaiya College of Arts, Science, and Commerce, K J Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce and K J Somaiya College of Science and Commerce.
