The Health Department has issued a government order to reduce the fee structure for the medical and nursing courses at the Government Erode Medical College and Hospital, Perundurai, and the School of Nursing attached to it, bringing it on a par with other government medical colleges. Under the revised structure, MBBS students will pay ₹13,610 a year.

The order came after students demanded that the fee structure of the college — formerly IRT-Perundurai Medical College and Hospital run by the Institute of Road Transport and later handed over to the Health and Family Welfare Department — be brought on a par with other government medical colleges. Earlier, MBBS students had to pay ₹3.85 lakh a year. Thirty medical seats were allotted to children of transport employees.

The Health Department had earlier reduced the fee structure of Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, now Government Medical College Hospital, Cuddalore.
