Gurugram: In a major move, the Haryana Government has issued a new policy for medical aspirants wanting to pursue MBBS course at the government medical colleges in Haryana defining the new MBBS fee structure, liking it to government service after completion of the course.
While the MBBS fee has been fixed to Rs 80,000 with 10 percent rise per year, the salient feature of the policy has been the compulsory bond of Rs 10 lakh per annum which every candidate will have to deposit at the beginning of every year for the 4 and half year course duration. This, either the candidate pays herself/himself or the government will help the candidate take the loan from a government sector bank. If the candidate serves in government service after the MBBS, then the government will pay off the loan, otherwise the candidate will be responsible for paying the loan.
This effectively implies for those who do government service after MBBS the fees will start at Rs 80,000. However, for those who do not wish to do government service, the effective fees will be Rs 10 lakh per annum
