Private medical colleges increase fees for management, NRI quota seats in the range of ₹1 lakh to ₹6 lakh
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.

AP to launch NCD 4.0 survey with comprehensive reforms
Vijayawada: Minister for medical, health, and family welfare Y Satya Kumar Yadav announced that the Andhra Pradesh government will launch the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) 4.0 survey in September 2025. The current NCD 3.0 survey, launched on November 14, 2024, with a target to screen 4.1 crore people, has so far screened around 3 crore individuals and will continue through August. Addressing a workshop at China Kakani in Guntur district, the minister emphasised the need for better coordination among health workers to ensure accurate results in cancer detection under NCD 4.0. Drawing from personal experience — having lost his mother and sibling to cancer — he stressed the urgency of curbing its spread in the state. He revealed that Andhra Pradesh reports around 75,000 new cancer cases and 30,000 cancer-related deaths annually. NCDs now account for 68 per cent of all deaths in the state, surpassing the national average of 65 per cent. Oral cancer screenings reached 2.9 crore, while breast and cervical cancer screenings each reached 2 crore. However, only 0.35 per cent were diagnosed with cancer, a detection rate lower than the national average. The health minister attributed this discrepancy to several systemic gaps in NCD 3.0, including inadequate training, lack of public awareness, social stigma, poor field-level coordination, and minimal oversight. He admitted that although 70 per cent of the screening target was achieved, flaws in execution affected data reliability. NCD 4.0 will be launched with a structured action plan, real-time monitoring, improved training, and systemic reforms to enhance efficiency and accuracy in early detection, especially for cancer cases.

‘Father of IVF' gets gallery in Salt Lake; letters, equipment on display
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: The father of IVF now has a gallery in Kolkata where physician Subhas Mukherjee's memorabilia are being displayed. The gallery, set up to honour the pioneer of reproductive medicine who gave India its first IVF baby, was opened at the office of the Bengal Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society in Salt Lake on Thursday, on the eve of World IVF Day. Working from his lab in Kolkata, Mukherjee gave India its first test tube baby on Oct 3, 1978, less than three months after the world's first test tube baby was born in England on July 25, 1978. While he never received recognition for his achievement during his lifetime, his work was recognised after his death. He was not allowed to attend international conferences and was subjected to transfers to rural areas after his test tube baby revelation. In fact, the constant humiliation he faced from medical professionals and the administration at that time forced him to take his own life on July 19, 1981. The memorabilia on display, dating back over 50 years, include some of his personal belongings, numerous letters he wrote appealing to the govt for time to allow him to participate in international scientific and academic events, and his widow Namita Mukherjee's letter to Jyoti Basu to initiate a judicial enquiry into the circumstances that led to his suicide. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo Mukherjee's letter to the secretary of the Indian Fertility Research Programme for a fellowship in an American lab, as poor and outdated infrastructure in Kolkata was impeding his research work, is also on display. A request letter from an NRI couple in 1979, seeking IVF treatment from him as it was being done only in England and India in those days, is also in the collection.

It was only after his tragic death that India recognised him as the father of IVF. This gallery is a small tribute to the legend," said gynaecologist Basab Mukherjee, president of BOGS. All the items on display were preserved by cryobiologist Sunit Mukherji, who worked closely with Mukherjee. The cryobiologist, who died a few years ago, had handed over the items, including newspaper clippings on Mukherjee's work, to BOGS. Other objects, like a bioscope that Mukherjee used in his Kolkata lab, his handwritten notes on subjects like hormones, and his personal belongings, including a suit and tie, will also be installed in the gallery later. Many IVF experts, including Gautam Khastagir, Rohit Gutgutia, and Rajiv Agarwal, along with BOGS members, visited the display on Thursday.
