Rajasthan plans to introduce bill to regulate fees at private medical colleges
Rajasthan: In response to the directions of the apex court, Rajasthan is all set to regulate the fee structures of private colleges of the state.
For the same, the state govt has now introduced a bill titled ''The Rajasthan Private Medical Institution Fixation of Fee Bill' to regulate the fee structure of private institutions.
Moreover, a committee led by a retired high court judge has been formed to study the fee structures of private universities in other states.
"For the determination of the fees of private medical colleges; a fee regulation committee has been constituted as per the direction of the Supreme Court, which will decide the fees of private medical colleges," said Rajasthan Health Secretary Vaibhav Galriya.
He further added "the fee determination of private colleges is with related universities because of which a difference of fees has been noticed. The government has prepared a draft bill in which all private colleges irrespective of the fact they are run by private universities or Rajasthan University of Health Sciences – should have a common mechanism of fee determination."

"We have made a committee led by a retired high court judge, which will determine the fees of all the medical colleges," Galriya told HT.
As private medical colleges have a lot of variations in their fees, the bill has been prepared to bring uniformity, he said. The bill will be tabled in the house after a legal and financial examination.
According to Dr Sudheer Bhandari, principal of SMS Medical College, a member of the committee constituted by the health department, the committee will look into the fee structure of private colleges in other states. Many people feel these private universities charge high tuition fees, which the committee will look at logically and practically. Currently, the state has six private universities which offer medical courses.
