BAMS candidate denied admission after refusing to pay excessive fees, files complaint against Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences
Ahmednagar: A deemed-to-be University based in Ahmednagar, Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) allegedly demanded excessive fees from a Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) aspirant and when the student refused to pay the same, denied her admission.
Taking up the issue, the student has already filed a complaint to the Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC), the college admission authority under the Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy).
In her complaint, the student alleged that the concerned institute turned away meritorious students in the first phase of institute-level admissions held in between November 9 and November 16.
Further, she claimed that students who had scored relatively lower marks in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) exam were admitted to the institute in lieu of capitation fees.
The concerned college received recognition after the centralised rounds of admission for the undergraduate Ayush courses. AACCC granted permission to the concerned institute to fill all the 100 BAMS seats at the institute level. Before the commencement of the second-phase of admission, the college filled up 43 of its 100 seats, adds FPJ.
