The fee related to the NEET PG exam has been a matter of controversy for quite some time.
In the year 2018, an RTI revealed that NBE had collected Rs 48 crore as application fees from NEET PG aspirants in 2018 and it spent around a third of that amount to conduct the exam thus incurring a profit of around Rs 30 crore.
With NBE being an autonomous body under the Government of India, medical students had condemned the profits stating that ideally, NBE should have subsidized the fees.
