Hello,

In JNTU (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University), "self-referential fees" refers to the tuition fees paid by students who are admitted to a program under the "self-financing" or "self-supporting" category.

Here's what it means:

1. Self-referential fees are paid by students who are not eligible for government quota seats or scholarships.

2. These students are admitted to programs with a higher tuition fee structure, which is usually 2-3 times the regular fee.

3. The self-referential fee is typically paid by students who have a higher income or are sponsored by their parents/companies.

In JNTU, self-referential fees are usually applicable to:

· Students admitted through management quota

· Students who have not qualified for government scholarships

· Students pursuing programs with a higher fee structure (e.g., MBA, MCA, etc.)

hope this helps,

Thank you
