People were left baffled by the bizarre charge and posted a variety of comments in response to the tweet. Some were amused and made jokes, while others were curious to know the identity of the school. Some also wanted to know what the 'orientation charge' means.
Reacting to the tweet, one person wrote, ''The fee of this school is more than my btech college fees.''

Speaking about bizarre charges, a restaurant in the US recently faced flak after it introduced an ''adult surcharge'' fee in its menu. According to the New York Post, Toccoa Riverside Restaurant in the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Georgia announced that it would levy an extra fee for customers who are ''unable to parent'' their children.
The warning on the menu bluntly stated, ''Adult surcharge: For adults unable to parent $$$.'' Though the menu doesn't reveal the exact amount, some customers claimed that they were charged $50 (Rs 4,160) for their ''children's behaviour.'' The restaurant also warned customers to ''be respectful'' to staff, property, and themselves because the place follows a ''No respect, no service'' policy.
