Punjab: MBBS dreams hit fund crunch wall for students from humble backgrounds
Neeraj Kumar cracked NEET-UG, and his marks (493/720) were enough to secure him a seat at Government Medical College (GMC), Patiala, achieving the first part of his dream to become a doctor. The Punjab government recently hiked the fee by 5%, claiming it was a routine revision in accordance with a 2020 notification issued by the medical education department. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) But just when the son of a farm labourer reached the finish line, Neeraj was hit by an insurmountable hurdle — ₹1.8 lakh admission fee. Neeraj hails from Shergarh village in Abohar and says his father's daily earnings are barely enough to sustain the family. 'Currently, we don't have the money to pay the fees. We will have to borrow money if someone gives,' he told HT. His mother is a homemaker, and there are no savings to fall back on. He is not alone; the same is the case with a meritorious school pass-out, Ashwani (564 marks), from Bazidpur Kattianwali village in Abohar. He secured admission at GMC, but his father, a tailor, is unable to pay the high fees. Likewise, Harvinder Singh (429 marks) from Faridkot, whose mother is an ASHA worker and father a contractual teacher, is also struggling to arrange the funds to join the college. All three, belonging economically weaker section, are struggling to arrange money because MBBS fees in Punjab are among the highest. The tuition fee alone is over ₹10 lakh, and if one includes hostel, books and other expenses, the total cost of the five-year course comes close to ₹15 lakh. The Punjab government recently hiked the fee by 5%, claiming it was a routine revision in accordance with a 2020 notification issued by the medical education department. Currently, Punjab fees are the highest compared to neighbouring states and UTs, including Haryana, New Delhi, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. The tuition fee in Himachal Pradesh's government medical colleges is around ₹3.19 lakh for the entire course, while Haryana charges about ₹4.5 lakh. Slamming the government for making medical education unaffordable in the state, Dr Raman, president, Resident Doctors' Association, GMC, said, 'We have been strongly opposing the exorbitant fees. Meritorious students from humble backgrounds can't afford medical education. The Punjab government should review the MBBS and PG course fees in the state, as they are the highest in the region.' As of now, there is no Punjab government policy to support meritorious students in pursuing higher education. 'There is no policy to help meritorious students pursue higher education, especially MBBS,' admitted a senior Punjab education department official. 'However, students from the reserved category (SC) can avail of scholarships under the BR Ambedkar Scholarship scheme.' Punjab education minister Harjot Bains also admitted to the lacuna: 'Currently, there is no government scheme for any financial help for MBBS students from economically weaker sections. But we will try to help needy students.'

NEET cut-off dip a shot in arm for Indian med
Chennai: As admissions to medical and dental courses are likely to get tougher this year, more students have applied for Indian medicine - ayurveda, siddha, and unani - and homeopathy in 2025. Officials say an increase in sales of application forms reveals more students are turning to Ayush as a career option. When the deadline for applications ended on Thursday, the state committee for admissions in Indian Medicine had received about 7,900 applications, nearly 500 more than in 2024. The sale of applications had commenced on July 24. TN offers 320 seats in two govt siddha medical colleges, located in Arumbakkam and Palayankottai, as well as one college each in unani (Arumbakkam), homeopathy (Madurai), and ayurveda (Kanyakumari). Of these 320 seats, 48 are set aside for admission through All India quota. In addition, there are 1,920 seats in 29 private Ayush colleges. The selection committee admits students to ayurveda, siddha, unani, and homeopathy courses based on merit in NEET scores and the 69% rule of reservation. In 2024, when NEET scores in Tamil Nadu, and across India, soared, the top student to join the bachelor's course in Siddha medicine had a NEET score of 592/720. Top score was 585 for ayurveda, 551 for unani, and 547 for homeopathy. The difference in scores between students who joined govt colleges wasn't huge, as the last candidate to join siddha had a score of 539. Barring unani, where the cut-off was 433, all others had a cut-off above 500. Overall, the cut-off for Ayush admissions surged by up to nearly 300 marks in select categories. All seats in undergraduate courses for unani and siddha across colleges were taken, while five in ayurveda and 19 in homeopathy were vacant after nearly five rounds of counselling. This year, the cut-offs may come down drastically as scores in NEET 2025 were lower compared to the previous year's scores. Considering that students are bunched up between 400 and 550 marks, experts say many students are likely to take up admissions in bachelor's programmes of Indian medicine.
