Kochi: The three colleges against which the fees are shown in dollars are the SDU Medical College, Kolar, Smt.B.K.Shah Medical Institute& Research Centre, Vadodara, and Sri Sidhartha Medical College, Tumkur. “There is no rationale for allowing such a wide range of fee structure between Rs 9 lakh and Rs 25 lakh. The UGC, the MCI and the Centre have the responsibility to enforce a reasonable fee structure for the sector to enable meritorious students to study in them,” said Dr S. Rajookrishnan, former joint commissioner of entrance examinations.
“Everyone was under the impression that the fee in deemed universities will come down once NEET ranklist is made applicable to them. The government could have regulated their fees to a reasonable level on the strength of the Supreme Court order which made NEET applicable to the deemed universities also. However, sadly that has not happened,” said Mr Rajendran Puthiyedath, an education expert based in Kochi.
