Pvt medical colleges push for increase in seats
MUMBAI: Private medical colleges are demanding an increase in the number of seats in undergraduate admissions, a day after the state introduced reservations for economically weaker sections (EWS) in the open category. Pvt medical colleges push for increase in seats The Association of Private Medical Colleges said it will approach the state government, urging it to request the National Medical Commission (NMC) to allow an increase in the intake capacity. 'We are not against EWS reservation,' said Kamal Kishore Kadam, chancellor and trustee of the Mahatma Gandhi Mission Medical College, and a senior member of the association. 'But if the government is implementing the quota, then as per the Supreme Court's 2019 ruling, it must also increase the total intake by 25%.' While the introduction of the reservation has already been implemented in government and aided institutions, there was no formal announcement for private medical colleges. Instead, the new quota – 10% of the seats in the open category – came to light when students and their parents noticed its mention in the admission brochure released by the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) cell on Wednesday. Kadam pointed out that when the EWS quota was introduced in government medical colleges, the seat capacity was increased accordingly. 'We welcome students from the EWS category to get quality education in private institutions as well,' he added. 'But we need the government to follow the court's guidelines. We are aware that increasing intake is under the NMC's jurisdiction, but we are urging the state to take up the matter with the commission.' Brijesh Sutaria, a parent representative, pointed out that EWS students already receive financial support under state schemes – 50% fee reimbursement for boys and 100% for girls. Implementing the new quota without increasing seat capacity will shrink the already limited pool of general merit seats in private medical colleges, Sutaria said.

Fees in some state medical colleges slashed, up 50,000 to 1L in others
Mumbai: In a quiet recalibration of what it costs to become a doctor in Maharashtra, the Fee Regulating Authority (FRA) has taken the scalpel to annual medical college fees—slashing some, nudging others. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Leading the markdown was Vedantaa Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), Palghar, a college known for its high fees. The FRA, after two days of deliberations this week, trimmed its MBBS fees from Rs 17.03 lakh to Rs 15.57 lakh, making this one of the steepest fee corrections the regulator pushed through in recent years. FRA also pulled down its annual PG (MD/MS) fees from Rs 19.32 lakh to Rs 13.11 lakh—a Rs 6.21 lakh drop that left aspirants sighing in relief. This is followed by the annual fees at Kashibai Navle Medical College and Somaiya Medical College. For most other colleges, the FRA chose to push up fees, and the hikes hovered between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh. At the upper end, BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical College in Chiplun (Ratnagiri) saw a Rs 1.06 lakh rise in its MBBS fee tag. Over at Nashik, SMBT Institute of Medical Sciences was cleared to charge Rs 1.18 lakh more fee for its MD/MS course. "If EWS quota has to be implemented in private colleges, it will change the dynamics of the fees set. We are seeking clarity from the state on this aspect," said the principal of a medical school. While the medical seat matrix is yet to be declared, one private college is slated to get approval from the National Medical Commission. The FRA has set the ad hoc fees for first-year MBBS at Rs 8.5 lakh. "It is heartening to see that fees of certain colleges have been reduced. We have been recording that while fees ought to have increased by 5%, the hikes in the past few years were a lot more," said parent representative Sudha Shenoy. However, Shenoy urged the FRA to press upon colleges to not make hostel fees mandatorily payable and use of hostel be kept optional.

First in India: Maharashtra brings 10% EWS quota to private medical colleges; total seats remain unchanged
MUMBAI: In a first-of-its-kind move in the country, Maharashtra has quietly introduced 10% quota for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in private medical colleges- a decision tucked into the fine print of the admission brochure released late Wednesday, reports Hemali Chhapia. Critics fear that with no proportional expansion in the total seats, this would lead to a reduction in seats in existing categories. Many warn it may lead to protests, petitions, and another round of policy ping-pong. When EWS quota was introduced in govt medical colleges, their total seats were increased by 25% so that other categories were not affected. Currently, 22 private medical colleges in Maharashtra offer 3,120 MBBS seats. These colleges have 15% seats under management quota and the remaining are distributed among various groups, including general category, SC, ST & OBC.

The decision draws legitimacy from a chain of govt resolutions in 2019, 2000, and 2021 and a Supreme Court verdict affirming the quota's validity in education. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Currently, 22 private medical colleges in Maharashtra offer 3,120 MBBS seats. Another college in Aurangabad is awaiting National Medical Commission (NMC) clearance. But with no additional seats in sight, students across the board now face heightened competition for a smaller share. 'Cut-offs are naturally going to rise if seats are not increased,' said a principal. In 2019, when the EWS quota was announced for govt medical colleges, initially at the postgraduate admission level, parents' associations petitioned the courts and demanded that there be a corresponding increase in the total seats so that students of other categories were not affected. The quota was struck down but implemented from the next year with a 25% increase in seats in govt institutions to ensure that other categories weren't shortchanged. But before that, in June 2019, the EWS quota was rolled out at the undergraduate level in govt colleges with an overall 25% increase in seats. That year, the transition was buffered by expansion. Not this time. State govt enquired with the NMC if seats would be increased similarly for private colleges as there was a plan to implement the EWS quota in all colleges, except minority colleges. But the NMC clarified that there was no plan to increase seats, said sources. For many students, this sudden and silent announcement just before the admission season is to kickstart feels like a betrayal. 'We were blindsided,' said Sudha Shenoy from the Parents' Association. 'The high court's earlier order was clear — no EWS quota unless the total intake increases by 25%. This decision ignores that. It cuts into the chances of every other student.' Under current rules, EWS students receive a 10% reservation in govt colleges. In private institutions, they're eligible for fee waivers — 50% for boys and 100% for girls.
