Telangana Colleges Holiday 16 September 2025 LIVE:
Federation of Associations of Telangana Higher Education (FATHI) has called for an
indefinite strike of all private professional and degree colleges from September 15 onwards
, as the Telangana Government failed to clear fee reimbursement dues. The strike shall continue till the Telangana Government decides on this matter. Therefore, all private colleges will shut down on September 16 as well. However, if the government makes a decision by the night of September 15, FATHI might call off the strike, and the colleges might function as usual. Students can go through this live blog to stay updated with the latest happenings of the Telangana colleges' holiday on 16 September 2025.
However, there have been reports that few autonomous colleges were open on September 15 and might continue to function on September 16 as well.
The
Telangana fee reimbursement issue
has been there for a while. The state government has been constantly failing to clear the fee reimbursement dues for the past four years. Almost 8,000 crore in dues are pending. As there is a massive delay in clearing dues, private colleges are not able to meet financial expenses for running the operations. For instance, many private colleges are facing difficulty in paying salaries to teaching faculty. FATHI is now demanding the release of a new GO by September 30, through which the state government shall commit to clear dues regularly (every academic year).
Telangana colleges shut down shall continue on September 17 as well if there is no response from the Telangana government on this issue. FATHI has asked all private colleges to postpone all exams till the time there is clarity on the fee reimbursement dues clearance by the state government.
