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.'

Maharashtra medical admissions: first round of seat allotment announced for UG courses
The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell seat allotment results for the first round of centralised medical admissions for undergraduate (UG) courses for the state quota seats witnessed a significant drop in cut-off scores for MBBS admissions in both government and private medical colleges. In government medical colleges, the cut-off score for MBBS admissions has fallen to 509 marks, down from 642 marks in the first round last year. In private medical colleges, the cut-off has dropped to 479, against 602 marks in 2024. Candidates, however, highlighted that this was an anticipated drop in the cut-off score due to the overall lower National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for Undergraduate (UG) scores this year — unlike the inflated scoring patterns observed last year. One candidate pointed out that there was score inflation in NEET UG last year due to a combination of factors. 'Unlike last year, when many students scored unusually high marks, this year's NEET UG results showed significantly lower scores. So, a drop in cut-off was expected. But this drop is still quite significant,' the candidate said. However, a parent representative Sudha Shenoy pointed out that this is a very low cut-off score in the past few years, especially in government medical colleges (GMC). 'Generally, private medical colleges would have a cut-off score around 509 for the first round of seat allotment. But this year, the same score is enough for a GMC seat in the first round,' said Shenoy. She attributed the change to a more streamlined admission process without any pending approvals for colleges or seats, this year. 'Last year there was chaos due to pending approvals for seats, despite inclusion of those seats in the seat matrix,' she said. As per the seat allotment for the first round of medical UG admissions by the Maharashtra CET Cell, a total of 10,815 candidates were allotted seats in this round, including 8,106 for MBBS and 2,709 for BDS. Students have until August 22 to confirm admission on their allotted seats. The total number of UG medical seats under the state quota stands at 10,856, comprising 8,138 MBBS seats and 2,718 BDS seats.
