Indian Express·2h ago·Positivity
What Happened
The National Medical Commission directed medical colleges to charge MBBS fees only for 4.5 years of academic study, excluding the one-year compulsory internship period. The NMC received complaints that some institutions charged for the entire five to five-and-a-half-year duration. The commission stated that charging fees beyond the academic period without corresponding instruction is inappropriate. Non-compliant institutions face regulatory action.
