The directive of the National Medical Commission (NMC) to fix the fee for 50% of seats in private medical colleges and deemed-to-be-universities on par with government seats is yet to be implemented in Karnataka despite multiple recommendations by the Fee Regulatory Committee for Professional Colleges, headed by Justice Subash Adi.
The committee has recommended to the Karnataka government to adopt these proposals in all private medical colleges and deemed-to-be-universities from the academic year 2023-24.
The 2023 NEET exam result, through which admission to medical courses is carried out, has already been announced, and the National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce the counselling schedule soon. The term of the existing Fee Regulatory Committee for Professional Colleges will end on June 18. However, the State Government is yet to act on its student-friendly recommendation.
