MBBS FEE HIKED FOR NRI, MANAGEMENT QUOTA IN SELF-FINANCING COLLEGES
In a significant move that impacts aspiring medical students, the fee structure for MBBS courses under NRI and management quota seats in self-financing medical colleges has been officially increased. The decision comes amid rising operational costs and demands for better infrastructure in private institutions.
According to Vizzve Education, this fee revision affects both domestic and overseas candidates, making access to premium medical education in India more expensive under these categories.
NEW FEE STRUCTURE FOR NRI AND MANAGEMENT QUOTA MBBS SEATS
The revised fee slabs vary by state and institution but show a steep upward trend compared to previous years. Here’s a general overview:
NRI Quota Seats:
₹20–₹30 lakh per year (in some states exceeding ₹40 lakh depending on college reputation and location)
Management Quota Seats:
₹12–₹20 lakh per year on average, with top-tier institutions demanding more
These hikes are applicable for the 2025–26 academic session and were approved by respective State Fee Committees and Medical Councils.
REASONS BEHIND THE FEE HIKE
Several factors have contributed to this revision:
Rising costs of medical education infrastructure (labs, hospitals, faculty salaries)
Higher compliance costs due to National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations
Increased demand for private MBBS seats from both Indian and overseas applicants
Need to match international standards in clinical training
Private colleges claim this fee hike will help sustain quality education and attract skilled professionals in medical teaching and research.
IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND PARENTS
The hike is expected to:
Increase financial pressure on middle-class families opting for private colleges
Push more students to seek affordable options abroad, particularly in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia
Increase competition for government quota seats, where fees remain regulated and lower
Experts at Vizzve Education advise students to plan finances early, explore scholarship routes, or prepare for NEET with a strong rank to secure merit-based government seats.
