Bangalore: The tuition fee for undergraduate medical and dental education, MBBS and BDS courses is likely to be hiked up by 15% in Karnataka's government and private colleges, much to the dismay of medical and dental aspirants.
According to the conversation various sources from the Department of Medical Education, a 15% hike for government seats and 25% for private seats is to be expected for the next academic session as the government considers the decision to repeat the fee hike, like last year.
A meeting was scheduled between Medical Education minister and the private medical college representatives on Thursday, 21st October 2021, but had to be cancelled as the minister was busy with prior commitments.
This once again brings the issue of commercialization of education into the spotlight as private colleges demand a hike of 25% to 30%. A representative of a private medical college from Bengaluru, in a candid conversation with the Deccan Herald, said, "The deemed-to-be universities and private universities have the privilege to charge around Rs 12 lakh to Rs 15 lakh. We want the fee to be increased on par with them."
