No rollback of MBBS fee hike, new policy beneficial to students: Khattar
Chandigarh: 24.11.2020
Even as authorities involved in MBBS admissions in Haryana are yet to compile data of new students, the state government on Monday announced that the new policy — which entails a hiked Rs 40-lakh fee during the four-year course — had been implemented to incentivise students to opt for government service while retaining the option to work anywhere, instead of imposing compulsory government service.
A spokesperson ruled out the possibility of withdrawal of policy. He insisted that the policy had provision for relief to candidates even if they do not get employment despite sincere efforts. The move had been implemented to meet growing need for doctors in public healthcare in Haryana.
On Saturday, the department had allocated of seats of Haryana quota in government and private colleges, after completing first round of counselling. Second round of counselling is likely to be held on Wednesday or Thursday.
The new policy has triggered resentment among students as well as their parents, on the account of inception of furnishing of bonds of Rs 10 lakh per annum.
Accordign to the policy, a candidate selected for MBBS degree course, at the time of admission, shall have to pay an annual bond amount of Rs.10 lakh minus annual fee paid. The candidate will have the option of either obtaining an education loan from a bank duly facilitated by the state government or pay the entire bond amount without recourse to the loan.
No candidate will be refused the education loan if he or she so desires, said the official. The state government will provide a credit guarantee to the extent of 100% of the loan amount to every student availing education loan. TNN
