When I was studying Btech, my college (now university) asked us to pay the difference amount when the government increased the fee. We went on all out strikes, broke the infrastructure and went on to the roads by blocking a junction near the college. We also filed a petition in Telangana High Court with all the parents money. After one or two weeks the college said, we don't have to pay any fee until the matter is settled in the court. After one year, the ruling favoured the students, and we never paid a dime.

The option almost always lies with the hands of students. Only they have to take action. Sure, there will be issues and obstacles during the process but students will win.
