Punjab MBBS Interns, Resident Doctors protest over High Fees and Low Stipend
Sky-High Fees, Peanut Stipend! Punjab MBBS Interns, Resident Doctors take to streets in protest
MBBS interns and resident doctors from Government medical colleges across Punjab are protesting against the huge cost of medical education in the State and extremely low stipend. In their agitation, the medicos staged a rally yesterday.
While the 2020 batch MBBS interns paid Rs 7.8 lakh for undergoing medical education in Punjab, they get only Rs 15,000 per month as stipend. The amount of the fee is even higher for the consecutive batches. Those who were admitted to the MBBS courses at the Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) in 2024 will have to pay Rs 9.5 lakh as their entire course fee.
