Admissions to undergraduate medical and dental courses will cost more as the state government increased the fee by 25% and 15% for private and government quota seats respectively in private colleges.
The decision was taken as per the agreement signed between the private medical managements and the state government.
With a hike, a student will have to pay Rs.1,28,746 (government quota) and Rs. 9,81,956 (private quota) in private medical colleges for the 2020-21 academic year.
Similarly, the post-hike fee in private dental colleges stands at Rs. 83,356 and Rs. 6,66,023 for government and private quota seats respectively.
Students and parents expressed anguish at the government’s decision.
