Madras HC caps medical college fees to this amount

The Madras High Court passed an order saying that the interim fee for MBBS course under management quota in deemed universities across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will be Rs 13 lakh per annum on Friday.

Deemed universities have been asked to follow this order, which is temporary as of now until a final decision on fee is made by University Grants Commission (UGC) fee fixation committee.

The bench of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice P T Asha were quoted as saying, “We are informed that the (UGC) fee committee has earlier fixed Rs 11.50 lakh for management quota for the medical colleges run by the Deemed Universities and the students may now be admitted subject to payment of Rs 13 lakh.”
