NAPS also criticized the ODFEL summer program proposal, claiming it prioritizes revenue generation over academic standards. The association argued that students who struggle to meet academic requirements in three months cannot be expected to do so in two weeks. As a result of discussions with the institution's management, the ODFEL proposal has been withdrawn. However, negotiations between the management and the Student Union Government (SUG) on tuition fees are ongoing.
