RELIEF: Health Ministry directs private medical colleges to charge ONLY one-year MBBS, BDS fee during admission
New Delhi: In a major relief to MBBS and BDS students across the country, the Union Health Ministry has directed private medical colleges not to seek a bank guarantee equivalent to four years, rather, only charge fees for the 1st-year during the time of admission.
The direction came in wake of various grievances that surfaced during the current academic year's admission process. Candidates alleged that the institutes had demanded for next four year fee on a bank guarantee stamp paper apart from the first year fee, failing this, no admissions would be granted. This has reportedly become a norm for many institutions in the past few years.
