" Any tuition fees (excluding any payment towards any development fees or donation or payment of similar nature), whether at the time of admission or thereafter,—
(a) to any university, college, school or other educational institution situated within India;
(b) for the purpose of full-time education of any of the persons specified in sub-section (4) "
On reading the above extract from the act, it can be interpreted that any payment not falling under the exclusion list can be claimed. Thus, computer/lab fees is also eligible for deduction.
