Private medical colleges in the State have increased the annual fees for management and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota seats in the range of ₹1 lakh to ₹6 lakh for this year compared to previous year. Despite the State government order that the annual fee for management and NRI quota seats cannot exceed ₹45 lakh, many private medical colleges have crossed the limit. Of the available medical seats in the State, 40% are filled under government quota, 40% under private quota, 15% under NRI quota, and 5% under management quota. The fees for management and NRI quota seats are uniform in all private colleges. This time, the State government has not allowed private colleges to increase the fee for government and private quota seats. But private colleges have increased the fees for management quota and NRI quota seats. PES University Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Bengaluru, has increased the fees for management and NRI quota seats by ₹5,99,250 this year. Last year, the fee for these seats in this college was ₹33,15,750, which, in effect, has been increased to ₹39,15,000 this year. Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chickballapur, has increased the fees from ₹40,00,750 to ₹45 lakh. SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, has increased the fees from ₹30,15,750 to ₹35,15,000.

The annual fee of Al-Amin Medical College in Vijayapura has been reduced from ₹30,12,700 to ₹27,11,950 this year. On the other hand, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences in Bengaluru charges ₹45,40,750, while M.S. Ramaiah Medical College charges ₹45,15,000 fee, higher than the limit set by the government. The fee for medical seats in government colleges is ₹64,350, while it is ₹1,53,571 for government quota seats in private medical colleges. The fee for government quota seats in deemed universities has been fixed in the range of ₹1,56,621 to ₹1,82,371. But a fee of ₹6,09,084 has been fixed for government quota seats in Jagadguru Gangadhara Mahaswamygalu Moorusaviramath Medical College in Dharwad. The fee for private quota seats in private colleges is ₹12,00,117, and the fee for private quota seats in deemed universities ranges from ₹16,29,965 to ₹25,15,000. 'As per the memorandum of understanding with the government, private medical colleges have not increased the fee for government and private quota medical seats this year. However, as per the rules, the government cannot fix the fee for management and NRI quota seats. Hence, the fees for these seats has been increased,' said a member of the management of a private medical college in Bengaluru.

Petition filed in Punjab and Haryana HC over alleged false encounter of NRI in Patiala
Chandigarh [India], July 22 (ANI): A petition has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court by Gurtej Singh Dhillon, seeking an independent investigation into the alleged false encounter of 22-year-old Jaspreet Singh, a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) who was killed by Punjab Police in Patiala on March 13, 2025. Gurtej Singh Dhillon is the brother-in-law of Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath, a serving army officer who, along with his son, was allegedly assaulted by the same police team near Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, earlier that night. According to the petition, the police claimed that Jaspreet Singh was involved in the kidnapping of a minor and was shot during a gunfight after refusing to stop his vehicle. The FIR states that Singh, who was allegedly armed, opened fire on police officers, injuring two of them, and was subsequently killed in retaliatory firing. However, the petitioner has alleged that this was a staged encounter, orchestrated under the influence of liquor and misused authority, as the same officers had been recently rewarded and appreciated for earlier actions. The post-mortem report of Jaspreet Singh has been attached with the petition, highlighting seven injuries, including fatal wounds to the forehead and chest from point-blank range, suggesting a close-range execution. The petitioner claims these findings strongly contradict the official version provided by the police and point to a fabricated narrative. The petition further reveals that Jaspreet Singh has been a student residing in Canada since 2022 and has recently married. He had returned to India just days before the incident. The family, reportedly under pressure and facing threats, is being discouraged from pursuing legal remedies. A previous petition seeking a CBI inquiry into the encounter, filed by the victim's parents, is currently pending before the High Court, but Dhillon fears it may be withdrawn under pressure, which led him to file this fresh plea to ensure justice. The petitioner also draws attention to a broader pattern of encounters in Punjab, stating that 20 such incidents have taken place between February and July 2025. A news report from an English daily has been submitted as evidence, indicating public concern over a rise in police-led encounters and the lack of accountability. Another news item appended to the petition shows that Punjab Police officials involved in this specific encounter were not only publicly praised by their superiors but also allegedly awarded with Rs 10 lakh and out-of-turn promotions. Dhillon argues that an unbiased investigation is not possible if handled by Punjab Police, as the accused are their own officials. He therefore seeks that the case be transferred to an independent agency. Notably, the High Court has already handed over a related case, regarding the assault on Col. Bath and his son, to the CBI for investigation. The matter is expected to be taken up in the coming weeks, while the earlier petition in the case is listed for hearing on September 17. (ANI)

KEA to submit proposal to govt. to reduce NRI ward quota seats from 15% to 5%
To prevent the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) ward quota seats in medical, dental and AYUSH courses from remaining unfilled, and the misuse of NRI-ward seats, the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has planned to submit a proposal to the government to reduce the number of NRI quota seats in the State. Currently, 15% of the seats in medical, dental and AYUSH courses in the State are reserved as NRI ward quota seats, and the KEA is of the opinion that the number of these seats should be reduced to 5%. A proposal will also be submitted to the government to formulate appropriate guidelines regarding the allocation of NRI-ward seats. Out of the available seats for admission to medical, dental and AYUSH courses in the State, 40% are government quota seats, 40% are private quota seats, 15% are NRI quota and 5% are management quota seats. However, every year, most of the NRI quota seats remain vacant. Out of 761 NRI quota MBBS seats available in the year 2022-23, only 73 seats were filled. In 2023-24, only 175 out of 767 seats were filled, and in 2024-25, only 137 out of 883 seats were filled. The remaining seats are being converted into management seats and given to the respective colleges to fill them. Misuse of NRI-ward seats As per the Supreme Court order and Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) rules, three categories of candidates are eligible for NRI seats, namely NRI, Overseas and NRI-ward. According to the rules, for students to be admitted under the NRI quota, at least one parent should be an NRI and be residing abroad as an NRI. For overseas category, the person who sponsors the student for admission should be a first degree relation to the student and should be residing abroad as an NRI. For NRI-ward category, if the student has no parents or near relatives or taken as a ward by some other nearest relative, such students also may be considered for admission, provided the guardian has bona fide treated the student as ward. 'Such guardian shall file an affidavit indicating the interest shown in the affairs of the student and also his relationship with the student and such person also should be an NRI, and ordinarily residing abroad.' However, many students are allegedly trying to get NRI-ward seats illegally and by submitting false documents. It recently came to light that a person has forged the seal of Consulate General of India, Sydney, and logo of the Australian government illegally, created fake documents, and cheated a student from Tumakuru by taking money and promising to provide her a medical seat under the NRI-ward quota. This case came to light when KEA was verifying the documents for medical NRI quota seats and a case has been registered against the fraudster at Malleswaram police station. H. Prasanna, Executive Director of KEA, said, 'As students bring certificates from more than a hundred countries to get medical seats under NRI-ward quota, we have no mechanism to check their authenticity on the spot. Most of the foreign certificates submitted by candidates are fake and fraudsters are cheating students and parents. In this regard, an FIR has also been registered against a person in a police station recently. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate appropriate guidelines at the government level regarding NRI-ward seats. We are planning to submit a proposal to the government in this regard.' Further, he said that the NRI quota seats in the State for medical, dental and AYUSH courses are not being filled completely. Most of the seats remain vacant and eventually, these seats are converted into management quota seats. 'However, the fees for NRI quota and management quota seats in medical colleges are the same. Therefore, we also planning to submit proposal to the government to reduce the NRI quota seats from 15% to 5% in the State,' he said.
