NRI medical students demand fee refund

HYDERABAD: Several medical students who gave up their MBBS seats, allotted under the management and NRI quotas, ahead of the Mop Up round (conducted after the second round of counselling to fill vacant seats), are still waiting for colleges to refund their fee. Students alleged that colleges are harassing them by releasing only partial fee even as some college managements are withholding their certificates.
“After the college sent out a mail saying that candidates can let go of their seats before the Mop Up round, we decided to do so. However, the college withheld ₹1 lakh from the fee we paid and only refunded ₹11.28 lakh. When we questioned the management about deduction of the remaining amount, they failed to give us any valid reason,” said a parent whose child gave up a seat in a private medical college.
He added, “My child did not like the college and decided to take a one-year break instead. We need to know exactly why the money was deducted.”
Squarely blaming the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) - to which all medical colleges are affiliated — for this, members of the Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) stressed how the university has failed to regulate private colleges in the state, time and again.
