Private medical colleges to allot 50% seats at government college fees from next academic session – Education News
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has decided to give guidelines to private colleges on where they can cap the upper limit of fees. The fees should be at par with the govt college for at least 50 per cent of the seats.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines stating that the fees for 50 per cent seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities should be on par with that of the govt medical college of a particular state will be effective from the next academic session. The guidelines will have to be implemented by the fee fixation committee of each state for their respective medical colleges.
The NMC issued an office memorandum on February 3, stating that it has been decided that the fees for 50 per cent seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities should be on par with that of the government medical colleges of a particular state or Union Territory.
As per the office memorandum, the benefit of this fee structure would first be made available to those candidates who have availed the government quota seats but limited to the extent of 50 per cent of the total sanctioned strength of the institute. However, if the government quota seats are less than 50 per cent of the total sanctioned seats, the remaining candidates would avail the benefit of having to pay a fee equivalent to that in government medical colleges, based purely on merit, the memo issued on February 3 stated.
