VIMS Palghar is the only medical college in Maharashtra to be set up by a private limited company. Last year, the college had fixed the highest charges among all private medical colleges across the State. For this academic year, the MBBS course at VIMS continues to be the costliest one. However, it should be noted that several medical colleges have not finalised their fee structure yet.

Apart from VIMS Palghar, another medical college, where the MBBS fee has been reduced, is NY Tasgaonkar Institute of Medical Science, Karjat (Raigad). This college saw an even higher Rs 1.67 lakh drop in its MBBS course fees. The MBBS fees at this institute have been reduced from Rs 7.9 lakh to Rs 6.22 lakh. Therefore, the MBBS fees at this institute have been reduced by the FRA by around 21%.
