EWS Students secure Management, NRI quota PG Medical Seats with Crores of course fee, candidates demand inquiry
NEET PG Admissions
New Delhi: Despite belonging to the economically weaker section, more than 140 such candidates have been admitted to postgraduate medical courses in clinical specialties from the management and NRI quotas of private medical colleges for which they will have to pay a tuition fee ranging from Rs 25 lakh to Rs 90 lakh per annum, TOI has reported.
Therefore, these EWS candidates, belonging to families with an annual income of less than Rs 8 lakh, will have to pay more than a crore for a three-year postgraduate course.
Many aspirants are now questioning this revelation, as they doubt the eligibility of these candidates to secure an EWS certificate when they could afford to pay such a hefty amount as their PG medical course fee.
More than 24,600 PG medical seats were allotted in the first round announced on November 20. Among these 135 management quota seats in the private medical colleges and 8 NRI seats were allotted to candidates registered as EWS.
