Tuition fee structure for MBBS, BDS courses revised... ANDHRA PRADESH

The State government has revised with immediate effect the tuition fee structure for MBBS/BDS courses in unaided minority and non-minority medical and dental professional institutions in the State.

According to government orders issued in this regard on Friday, the tuition fee for MBBS course for ‘A’ category seats in both private, unaided minority and non-minority medical colleges has been fixed at Rs.10,000 per annum and Rs.11,00,000 for ‘B’ category seats.

For ‘C’ category (NRI), it should not exceed five times maximum chargeable fee to ‘B’ category students per annum.

For undergraduate dental courses in private, unaided minority and non-minority dental colleges, the fee has been fixed at Rs.10,000 per annum for ‘A’ category, Rs.4,50,000 for ‘B’ category and not exceeding five times maximum chargeable fee to ‘B’ category students.

The tuition fee is payable annually for four academic years and there will be a five per cent increment in tuition fee per year to offset inflation.

Students who were admitted into the course prior to 2015 will continue to pay every year the same annual fee as had existed at the time of their admissions till they complete the course.
