Around 148 students belonging to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) category have secured their PG medical admission by getting enrolled in the expensive management and NRI quota seats in private medical colleges during the first round of counselling for the post-graduate courses this year, the Indian Express has reported.
Consequently, the admission of such students, who come from a weaker financial background, and their willingness to pay exorbitant fees, which can go as high as Rs 1 crore per year, has drawn the attention of the Apex Medical Education Regulatory Body- the National Medical Commission.
