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.
