Private medical colleges increase fees for management, NRI quota seats in the range of ₹1 lakh to ₹6 lakh
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. Sridevi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Hospital, Tumakuru, has raised its fees from ₹33,12,700 to ₹38,61,950. The fees of BGS Medical College and Hospital has gone up from ₹32,15,750 to ₹35,15,000. Fee reduction by minority colleges On the other hand, many minority medical colleges have drastically reduced the annual fees for management and NRI quota seats. Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Bengaluru, has reduced the fee by about ₹4 lakh. Last year, the fee for these seats in this college was ₹40,12,700. 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.

Wake-up call from Mysuru: What panic in hospitals says about young hearts
Recently, a sense of urgency gripped Mysuru as hospitals reported an unexpected surge in heart attack cases, particularly among young adults in their 30s. As many as 23 deaths occurred here due to heart attacks over the course of 40 days. Of these, six were between 19 and 25 years of age. Meanwhile, eight were between 25 and 45 years of age. Long queues outside hospitals and health centres reflected the panic among people, with many rushing for cardiac checkups amid fears of sudden heart failure. But while panic spreads, medical experts urge calm and say it's time to focus on prevention. Why are young adults collapsing without warning? According to Dr Anand Agarwal, HOD of CTVS (Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery), Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chikkaballapur, Karnataka, it's not the elderly who are crowding the emergency rooms—it's people in their 30s. 'These young adults are seemingly healthy and have no symptoms until they collapse. Unlike older people, younger patients lack adequate collateral blood supply to the heart, making these attacks far more fatal,' he explained. This means that you may look and feel fine, but your heart could be struggling. Dr Agarwal noted that while older people typically have time to react and seek help during a cardiac episode, younger individuals often experience sudden and massive cardiac arrests, sometimes without the classic warning signs. What's causing this spike? Is it just Mysuru's problem? 'This is a pan-India pattern we've seen building for years,' said Dr Agarwal. 'It's now getting noticed because of the concentration of cases in one region.' He listed the key culprits: Chronic stress and anxiety Hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes Sedentary lifestyle (especially sitting for long hours) Poor eating habits and erratic work schedules Long commutes Lack of sleep Skipped workouts Possibly post-Covid complications, although evidence is still emerging Is your lifestyle silently harming your heart? 'Erratic work hours, eating junk food, minimal physical activity, smoking, and alcohol—all these add up quickly in your 30s,' said Dr Agarwal. If your daily routine includes screen fatigue, skipped breakfasts, and midnight swiping through Instagram, you're not doing your heart any favours, he warned. What are the early signs of a heart attack you shouldn't ignore? According to Dr Agarwal, if you feel any of these, even once, don't brush it off as gas or stress: Chest pain during activity or even at rest Shortness of breath Extreme fatigue for no reason Pain radiating to your left arm or neck Nausea, dizziness, or cold sweats 'These are classic early warning signs, and ignoring them often delays life-saving care,' Dr Agarwal emphasised. What should you do now to protect your heart? Here's a quick checklist from Dr Agarwal that could save your life: Dr Agarwal stressed that heart attacks don't just happen to 'old uncles.' They're happening to young, driven professionals, just like you.
