CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Friday ordered the National Medical Commission (NMC) to reconsider its direction to private medical colleges and deemed universities to collect government fixed fee for 50% of their seats, saying that such an arrangement is impermissible and would affect merit.

The first bench of Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice N Mala passed the orders on a batch of petitions filed by the Education Promotion Society for India and private medical colleges and deemed universities challenging the NMC’s office memorandum issued earlier this year.

The bench ordered the National Medical Commission to come out with a fresh office memorandum and said the fee structure under the present system may continue till that exercise is completed. If there is huge difference in fee structure between two sets of students, then it may result in sacrificing the merit of the candidates because after filling the first 50% seats on a par with the fee collected by government medical colleges, the remaining seats would be given to next meritorious students and if candidates are not in a position to pay the high fee, students with lesser merit would be given admission.

This would ultimately result in sacrificing merit and in worst-case scenario may lead to seats going vacant causing loss to the institutions and the nation if candidates down the merit list are not ready to pay the high fee, the bench said. The expert committee set up by the National Medical Commission had failed to take into account these facts while making recommendation for restructuring the fee of private medical educational institutions, the judges said. “The expert committee could not visualize that if there would be huge difference in the fee structure for two sets of students, it may result in sacrificing the merit,” the bench said.

‘Arrangement not permissible in the light of SC judgments’

The petitioners had challenged Section 10 (1) (i) of NMC Act, 2019, and office memorandum dated February 3, 2022, which provides for fee of 50% seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities to be on a par with the government medical colleges and guidelines for fixation of fee and other charges to cover the cost incurred by the institutions for the remaining 50% seats.

The petitioners contended that students admitted under second 50% seats (with fee ranging from Rs 40 lakh to 70 lakh) would have to subsidise those admitted for first 50% seats for a fee on a par with government colleges (ranging from R18,000 to R20,000 per year). The court held that this arrangement is not permissible in the light of the apex court judgments in the case of TMA Pai Foundation and others and Islamic Academy of Education and another

‘Will affect merit, lead to vacancies’

Chennai: The petitioners had contended that students admitted to 50% seats for fee ranging from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 70 lakh would have to subsidise those admitted to 50% seats for a fee on a par with government colleges (Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000 per year). This fee difference would result in sacrificing merit and may lead to seats in private institutions going vacant.

Age no bar: Upper age limit for NEET removed in 2021 

Pradeep Kumar Singh and his son discussed the ways to address the issue. “My son is good in biology while I am good in physics and chemistry. We decided to teach these subjects for free. At present, we teach a couple of students, whose parents work as MNREGA workers, at my home. 

However, there was a trust deficit. How could I teach others without taking the exam myself?” he said. In 2021, the National Testing Agency and the National Medical Council took the decision of removing the upper age limit for NEET. “So, I prepared for NEET at very short notice.

 I began studying in February for the July exam. I studied hard and obtained 98. 98 percentile. Now I can instil confidence in students who come to me and my son for coaching,” he said. 5k more students pass this year The results showed that more students from Gujarat have passed NEET-UG 2022 compared to the previous year's exams. As many as 79,228 students had registered for NEETUG 2021, and 64,791 students had taken the exam. 

Of these, 36,398 students cleared the test. Sources said that the number of students who had taken last year's exam was almost the same, but this year, 5,503 more students cleared the exam. 

When results for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) flashed online on Wednesday night, Pradeep Kumar Singh realized he could finally take a step towards his long-cherished dream. 

Despite having left active studies nearly three decades ago, the 52-year-old businessman from Bodakdev scored 607  out of 720 marks.It is normal to assume that his ambition is to don the ‘white coat’ but what he truly wants is to offer free coaching to poor students so that they can crack NEET and go on to become doctors. “At the age of 52, I secured 98.98 percentile.

 I have no intention of joining a medical college, but I want to start a free NEET coaching centre for poor students,” said Singh.He had the full support of his son Bijin Snehansh, a thirdyear MBBS student at NHL Medical College in Ellisbridge, in this endeavour.Singh had secured 71% marks in Class 12 science exam held in Delhi in 1987. He then got his Bachelor’s in Arts (Economics) from Delhi University and completed his Master’s in Business Economics from the Delhi School of Economics. “I did jobs for various business journals initially. Later, I shifted my trade to business to business (B2B) platforms,” said Singh. In 2019, Bijin Snehansh appeared for NEET and secured 595 marks. “When my son began preparing for NEET, I took an interest in it to provide him support. I realized that coaching institutes charged hefty fees, and this put them out of the reach of poor aspirants,” said Singh.
