Admissions to the various medical and dental colleges will be done based on the ranks secured by the aspirants. (Representative image)Ahead of admissions for medical seats, candidates and parents are worried about further delay as the Association of Health Sciences Institutes has moved the Supreme Court (SC) against the National Medical Council (NMC) guideline for fee regulation, which has recommended that fees for 50 per cent of seats in private and deemed medical colleges should be at par with fees charged by government medical colleges in respective states or union territories.
The SC on Monday passed an order giving two weeks’ time to the central government, NMC and other respondents to file their replies to the petition, which is contesting the NMC’s authority in fixing fees of private unaided educational institutions.
Earlier this year, in February, the NMC issued a memorandum about guidelines for fee regulation, wherein it was recommended to reduce the fee of 50 per cent seats in private medical colleges as well as deemed universities by bringing them at par with fees charged by government medical colleges in respective states and union territories. This is scheduled to be implemented from the new academic year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also made an announcement regarding this, which had given hope to many aspiring medical students and their parents.
“Earlier this month, the Kerala High Court already stated that it will not be applicable to private medical colleges in Kerala. Now, there is a petition in the SC and the development there will be applicable to all states,” said a concerned parent while speaking about the recent developments.
