more-inThe new fee structure for MBBS in self-financing medical colleges fixed by the Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee for Medical Education for the academic year 2018-19 has been challenged in the Kerala High Court. The self-financing colleges that have challenged the new free structure included Believers Church Medical College, Kannur Medical College, and Sree Gokulam Medical College. In fact, the fee had been regularised on the basis of the fee fixed for the academic year 2016-17, instead of fixing the fee taking into account the income and expenditure of the colleges. There had, in fact, been only an increase of 15% over the previous year’s fee structure. The colleges could not be run on a fee fixed at the whims and fancies of the members on the committee.
