Dawani sahab if you interperate the provision it says that

tuition fees whether at the time of admission or thereafter to any university, college, school or other educational institution situated within India
sirjee dont read read sub prov (a) and (b) together both are different
sub prov (a) said for own
sub prov (b) said for children

Therefor sirjee if you will be read both the sentences seperately your doubt will be clear.
If you paid for your own education you can take a exemption u/s 80c

Thanks & Regards
