No,you don’t require to pay any book fees.This has been the scenario till the last year but since everything is uncertain and spontaneous there might be some deviation in the pattern.
Basically in the first year at SRM ktr atleast you can opt to buy books(2nd hand) from the seniors on a price less than the MRP. Also,another option is getting a photo state of certain books that are unavailable. If you want you can also purchase the books but this seems to be unrequisite.
