MBBS Aspirant Moves Bombay HC Over alleged overcharging by medical college
Maharashtra- Recently, an MBBS aspirant filed a petition in the Bombay High Court alleging that a medical college in Maharashtra has denied him admission to the MBBS course after he refused to pay the exorbitant fees demanded by the institute. His petition will probably be heard by the court this week.
The medical aspirant was allotted a seat in the institutional quota (IQ) at Terna Medical College, Navi Mumbai, in the 1st vacancy round of the National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG) counselling 2024. With this, he has claimed that he was asked to pay more money while taking admission and eventually, he was denied admission. However, he went to the college after paying the prescribed fee for IQ seats.
Later, he raised the matter with the Common Entrance Test Cell (Maharashtra CET Cell) as well as the Fee Regulatory Authority (FRA), but to no avail. Maharashtra CET Cell, the state authority responsible for admissions to professional courses. When no action was taken by the Maharashtra CET Cell and FRA, Mashalkar moved the Bombay High Court and filed a petition.
