The Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) has announced an increase in examination fees for the TS Inter 2025 exams, impacting students in both first and second years of intermediate studies. The fee hike is part of the board’s effort to manage rising operational costs, such as exam center maintenance, staff allocation, and infrastructure improvements, which have reportedly escalated with the growing number of students each year. This decision has received mixed reactions—while some educators see it as a necessary step to ensure efficient exam management, students and parents are concerned about the additional financial burden, particularly for low-income families. Many are now calling on the government to consider fee concessions or financial aid to support economically disadvantaged students. The TSBIE is expected to release detailed information on the revised fee structure and payment deadlines soon on its official website, urging students to stay updated to avoid any late fees.
