SC bans counselling by private medical colleges

New Delhi: After setting out implementation of the national eligibility entrance test (NEET) as the single window exam for admission in all medical colleges, the Supreme Court said on Thursday that private medical colleges cannot conduct counselling for admission to MBBS and BDS courses.

The admission process, the court said, would be done through centralised counselling conducted by the state governments concerned. This means that educational institutions will not be able to reach out to prospective students through "offer letters" on the basis of NEET results.

The court passed the order on a petition filed by the Madhya Pradesh government seeking contempt proceedings against private colleges which, it said, were defying the SC order by holding their own counselling for admission in MBBS and BDS courses.

The order has wider application as private colleges in other states are also conducting counselling which has been challenged in the court.  

"If any counselling has been done by any college or university and any admission has been given so far, such admission shall stand cancelled forthwith and admission shall be given only as per centralised counselling done by the state government," a five-judge Constitution bench said. The SC, however, refused to pass any punitive order against the colleges on the contempt plea and allowed them to send their representatives to participate in the counselling process.

As NEET kicks in, TN medical colleges jack up fee to Rs 20 lakh/yr, it affects other state colleges fees

CHENNAI: Private medical colleges and deemed universities in Tamil Nadu have increased fees for MBBS after CBSE released the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test results on August 17. The average cost of studying in a premier college is now Rs 1.85 crore - up to Rs 1 crore as tuition fee and Rs 85 lakh in capitation fee.


All private medical colleges and deemed universities are now mandated to admit students solely on the basis of merit. According to the new rules, students can independently apply to different colleges but admission will be based on NEET ranks. Yet, some col leges have discreetly told parents that they will have to pay a capitation fee ranging between Rs 40 lakh and Rs 85 lakh. "I argued it should be based on merit, but the college administration says it wasn't specified in the apex court order," said a parent, seeking admission for his daughter at three private universities.


While some parents don't argue with the college man agement, many said they could not afford the annual tuition fee for the five-andhalf-year course. For instance, the annual tuition fee at Chennai-based SRM Medical College, which was Rs 9 lakh in 2014 and Rs 10 lakh in 2015, is Rs 21 lakh this year, including the Rs 2 lakh development fee and Rs 1lakh curriculum fee. Tuition fee in other colleges is anywhere between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 18 lakh. At Sri Ramachandra University and Chettinad Academy of Research and Education it is Rs 15 lakh. Students also have to pay fees for library, laboratory, mess and hostel, which in most colleges add up to Rs 1 lakh a year.


"I have to pay at least Rs 1 crore as tuition fee. The total cost is likely to go up by another Rs 25 lakh," said Selva Ganapathy, whose son secured more than 90 percentile in NEET. His son missed a government medical col lege by just 0.25 cut-off points. "The tuition fee there would have been Rs 11,500 a year but he didn't make it because of 69% caste-based reservation followed in Tamil Nadu. So, he joined an engineering college," he said. His son didn't mind quitting the top college as he will be the first-generation doctor in his family. "But I won't get a loan to pay for the capitation. It's truly a mockery of merit," he said.

On Thursday, the family decided that he should continue doing his engineering.

Doctors Association For Social Equality general secretary Dr G R Ravindranath said that most doctors start with a salary between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 a month. "Five years later it may be higher than this but by then doctors will want to do post-graduate courses which may cost then them another few crores of rupees," he said.

"The Centre should con duct single window counselling for admissions to eradicate capitation fees," Ravindranath added.

State health department officials said private colleges had autonomy in fixing fees.In the last three years, tuition fee alone had increased three times in some private medical colleges. Members of the management of some private colleges said they had to pay higher salaries to teachers and spend a lot to build and maintain the required infrastructure. "Our overheads are extremely high," said a chancellor of a deemed university, refusing to be named.

NEET: Medical and dental students confused and angry over admission process

A day after students were told that admissions to medical and dental courses in private and deemed institutes will be carried out by a centralised process, they were still fumbling. (Sunil Ghosh / HT file)

A day after students were told that admissions to medical and dental courses in private and deemed institutes will be carried out by a centralised process, they were still fumbling.

Students said they are unsure whether centralised admissions means a combined merit list for both categories, because if that is not so, students will have little time to choose an institute in this round of admission.

Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) officials said students should fill separate forms and wait for instructions. “If deemed and private institutes go ahead with separate preference list forms as well as merit lists, a student will have to choose an institute in the first go itself because it’ll be a tedious process to first confirm seat in a deemed institute and then seek a refund if they get a seat in a private institute of their choice,” said Rajesh Jain, state member for Parents’ Association for Medical Students (PAMS).

He added that students are still unsure about the number of seats that will be considered under the institutional quota which cannot be accessed based on National Eligibility-cumEntrance Test (NEET) scores.

While officials from the state Common Entrance Test (CET) cell and DMER are yet to release a proper schedule for admissions, only the dates for filling form have been put up on the DMER website. Students eligible for admissions can fill up forms online between August 21 and August 24. “Once there’s more clarity, we will release another circular,” said an official from DMER.

Many deemed institutes in the state said they have started the process of accepting forms without waiting for the state government’s final nod. “We are following the Supreme Court ruling which is clear that medical and dental admissions should be conducted based on NEET. We have already received 1,600 applications for 200 seats and will release our merit list accordingly,” said Dr Shashank Dalvi, vice-chancellor of Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences in Loni, Ahmednagar. Some managements said that any interference by the state government might push them to take the matter to court.
