Talking to press persons, Vijayamma alleged that the government was planning to dilute the reimbursement scheme after the Supreme Court's verdict, and fixing a uniform fee for both convener and management quota seats.The Supreme Court's verdict would put additional burden on the government, to the tune of Rs. 500 crore. Now, the government wants to dilute the scheme in order to transfer this burden to citizens.

She demanded that the government implement the fee reimbursement scheme to all qualified students and increase the mess bills of SC/ST/BC students as per the changed rates.
