NEET UG 2022: PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGE FEES ?

In order to carry out the National Medical Commission’s (NMC) ruling, the State Health Department of Tamil Nadu has asked all private medical schools and deemed universities to charge tuition for 50% of the total number of seats at a rate that is equal to that of government medical colleges. The private medical colleges in Tamil Nadu will be required to charge Rs 13,610 annually for the 50% of the seats, as opposed to the previous Rs 25 lakh, if the NMC fee order is put into effect.

There are a total of 70 medical schools in Tamil Nadu, with 10725 places available for admission. 38 government medical colleges have 5225 seats available for medical students, whereas 32 private medical colleges have 5550 seats available. Medical Dialogues has previously reported that NC, the top regulatory authority for medical education, had recently confirmed that the tuition for 50% of seats in private medical colleges would be on par with government medical colleges in that specific State/UT.

Therefore, students who are admitted to those 50% of private medical college seats will have to pay such a small amount for their study if the MC regulation is applied.

No matter how appealing this may seem to medical aspirants who decide to leave India and attend medical school abroad for less money, such a rule ignores the struggles faced by private medical college administrators who spend thousands of dollars and even millions of dollars to build the necessary infrastructure.

Because of this, the administration of private medical colleges had previously contacted the Union Health Ministry to request that NMC remove the problem. In actuality, the universities had already decided to file a lawsuit against the NMC fee ruling.

The Tamil Nadu government has now moved toward putting the NMC order into effect amidst all of this chaos. The government has already instructed the self-financing medical colleges in the State to charge tuition on par with government medical colleges for the 50% of the seats, according to the most recent media report by the Times of India. In reality, the State Health Department already sent a letter with this request to the Fee Fixation Committee. Some parents have given the NMC order high marks because they believe it adheres to the NEET‘s philosophy of prioritising merit. The NMC directive, however, has not been well received by the colleges.

The Fee Fixation Committee is in charge of determining the fees for students enrolling under the government, management, and NRI quotas as well as seats for expired NRIs. Up until this point, seats at the deemed institutions were distributed by the Directorate-General of Health Services on the basis of merit. The State Selection Committee, on the other hand, handles admission to the private medical colleges.
