Mumbai: The Shikshan Shulka Samiti, the body that regulates the fees for professional courses, has decided not to declare an interim fee for health sciences and engineering programmes this year.
Instead, medical colleges have been directed to charge 60% of last year’s fees, while technical institutions, including those offering engineering courses, have been told to charge 80% of the fees set for the 2007-08 academic session.
A notice sent by the Samiti to the institutions in the first week of July states, “The Samiti directs colleges not to charge any other fees, otherwise it will be treated seriously and disciplinary action shall be taken against such colleges, which may include heavy penalty.’’
Every year, the Samiti declares an interim fee that is about 7% more than that of the previous year’s final amount. The final fee is declared after assessing the audit reports of the college managements.
Fees for professional courses in the state have shot up over the past few years, making Maharashtra one of the most expensive places to pursue a health science course. The annual cost of an MBBS course in a private college in Maharashtra ranges from Rs 1.68 lakh to Rs 4.75 lakh.
