NMC says fees of 50% seats in private medical colleges to be on par with govt institutions

50% seats in private medical colleges: NMC has produced all deemed universities to concede to the new guidelines on reducing the fee for half of the total authorised seats in private medical colleges from the recent session. The National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines stating that the fees for 50 per cent of seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities should be on par with that of the government medical colleges of a particular state will be effective from the next academic session official sources said on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister in March had announced that the fee for half the sanctioned seats in private medical colleges would be reduced to match the fee in government colleges. This will mean that the government rate will apply to 75% of the 92,000 MBBS seats offered for the 2022-23 session.

“The fee regulation guidelines are mandatory as per NMC Act-2019 and will be applicable for students who will be admitted through NEET-UG 2022 and NEET-PG 2022,” reads the NMC communication to the deemed universities.

Medical seats in private colleges at government price

The NMC issued an office memorandum on February 3, stating that it has been decided that the fees for 50 per cent of 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.

According to the office memorandum, the benefit of this fee structure would first be made available to those candidates who have availed of the government quota seats but limited to 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 benefit from having to pay a fee equivalent to that in government medical colleges, based purely on merit, the memo issued on February 3 stated.

According to paragraph 10(1)(i) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) Act, 2019, the commission shall frame guidelines for the determination of fees and all other charges for 50 per cent of the seats in private medical institutions and deemed-to-be universities governed under the provisions of this decree.

The NMC circular said, “all deemed universities are requested to comply with the office memorandum dated February 3, 2022. The decision effectively means fees for 50% private and deemed seats (ranging from RS. 7 lakh to Rs 25 Lakh a year) will come down slightly over Rs. 1 lakh. In Maharashtra, fees in raises and private colleges are regulated by the fee regulating authority (FRA), but deemed colleges do not come under its ambit.

  2. NMC decision should be implemented immediately without delay, since it is good for medical field as 75% of the students can be admitted purely on merit basis. Otherwise state Govt should bare the amount of the 50% Govt quota students fees in private colleges. Otherwise all medical colleges should be run by the Govt, it will be very good for the people as the doctors will be purely on merit basis selection not on money basis.

  3. Middle class are the sufferers. Even having merit cannot join. PM should whack these pvt and deemed universities and conduct raids and find out how much they swindled all these years. All good brains are moving out of country out of frustration. Imagine what type of doctors will be treating a common man after 5 years. If we are luckly we will be treated by meritorious students who got into government college, otherwise we must be prepared to die. NEXT exam should be there. then only these ppl will be filtered before coming out in public and start treating. If fees is not per government rule, PM should order to close these institutions. These institutions shed crocodile tears as though they are burdened. Their profit in no way should go down, that is motive. Wish supreme court judgement should favor the to save thousands of meritorious students who are waiting for the verdict. Just getting 150 in NEET and pay 1.5 crores, one can become doctor. Students who score even 550 can’t get. What a disparity. God help this country.

  4. But still there’s no clear decision among various states whether to implement this from this academic year or not especially my state Tamilnadu . Interms of these fee regulation and free giving things, our government used to take great initiatives to implement them but now they haven’t even opened their mouth to utter a single word about this. I want them to give a clear clarification about this. If they are ready to implement they can just say that. Otherwise they can it openly that they can’t implement it now.

  5. A very good initiative by the govt, which will curb the exploitation by these medical colleges, some medical College in uttarakhand are charging Rs Five lakh as security money which gives an impression that the admitted medical students are students or some anti social elements, even hostel fee is Rs 15000 per month on twin sharing bases for non AC room and mess fee is Rs 15000 per month , NMC should take note of this,

  6. Yes nmc should be implemented so that we can get brilliant doctors. People should understand that this degree should not be brought by money as this is a noble profession.
