Medical Education Minister Dr Sharan Prakash Patil
Bengaluru: In a significant announcement, the Karnataka government has declared that there will be no increase in fee structure for medical and dental courses in the upcoming academic year, despite pressure from private medical colleges.
After holding a meeting with office-bearers of private medical and dental college managements, Minister for Medical Education, Skill Development, Livelihood and district in-charge for Raichur, Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil, made this clarification on Saturday.
Private colleges had appealed for a 10 to 15 percent hike in fees. However, the Minister stated that although the government had allowed a 10 percent increase last year, no fee hike would be permitted this year.
Responding promptly to the matter raised during the meeting, Minister Patil reiterated that last year’s 10 percent hike was sufficient and emphasized that there would be no fee hike this year.
He added that an agreement formalizing this decision would be signed soon.
