The fees committee constituted under the chairmanship of Madras high court former judge justice S Rajeswaran has fixed the fees for MBBS courses under management and Nonresident Indian quotas for the academic year 2017-18 in the three private medical colleges cum hospitals in the Union territory of Puducherry .The committee fixed `12 lakh as fees per annum under management quota and `20 lakh under NRI quota. It had fixed the fees under state quota in March this year. It fixed `3.35 lakh as fee for Pondicherry institute of medical sciences, `3.13 lakh for Sri Manakula Vinayagar medical college and hospital and `2.99 lakh for Sri Venkateswaraa medical college and hospital. The committee submitted a report with details on the fees structure to the Puducherry government.
“The government posted the fees structure for MBBS and other courses recommended by the committee on Centac website on July 19. We urge the government to hold counselling in a fair and transparent manner briefing the students and their par ents and media on the allotment of seats and vacancies periodically and avoid confusion as encountered in the postgraduate medical admission a month ago,“ said Pondicherry state students' and parents' association president V Balasubramanian.
The three private medical colleges cum hospitals offer 150 MBBS seats each. Balasubramanian also sought the government ensure that the three private colleges surrender a minimum of 50% of the total seats under state quota.
There are four institutions affiliated to deemed universities in Puducherry Arupadai Veedu medical college, Vinayaga Mission medical college, Mahatma Gandhi medical college and research institute and Sri Lakshmi Narayana institute of medical sciences (Slims) offering a total of 600 MBBS.
The four institutions were filling seats by holding combined or individual counselling until last academic year. However from this academic year the Union government had entrusted the directorate general of health services (DGHS) to hold counselling for all deemed universities in the country to admit students into MBBS course.
