For middle class parents wishing to enroll their wards in MBBS courses, the journey has become tougher. The Justice (retd) Akshay Mehta fee regulatory committee has announced a fee hike ranging from 8-15 per cent in the undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses run by self-financed colleges.
After the hike, the fee of MBBS courses, which ranged from Rs 3.15 lakh to Rs 4 lakh per annum, has increased to Rs 3.25 lakh to Rs 4.50 lakh. The most expensive self-financed college in the state to offer MBBS course is Karamsad Medical College where the parents will have to cough up Rs 4.5 lakh per annum as fee.
