But as per my opinion, No deduction available for fees paid for private tuition’s , coaching courses for admission in professional courses or any other type of courses are not covered as that fee is not paid for FULL time education.

Acadmic Fee is included u/s 80c.

(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

SO FITJEE IS NOT FULL TIME EDUCATION, HENCE IT CANNOT BE CLAIMED. IT IS A COACHING INSTITUTE.
