NEET 2020 IN NEWS

Union Health Ministry has asked the Board of Governors (BoG) to prepare draft guidelines for the fee structure in private medical colleges and deemed universities from the next academic session through #NEET
==============================
Here is the text matter of the Letter written by Ministry of Health to BoG  :
👇
"Government has initiated the process of formation of the National Medical Commission, Medical Advisory Council and the four autonomous Boards and it is likely to take some time.
"The Commission on its constitution will also frame guidelines for determination of fee which may be enforced from the academic session 2021-22,".
"It has been desired that the BoG may prepare draft guidelines for determination of fees and all other charges of 50% of private medical colleges and deemed universities as envisaged under the NMC Act 2019 so that the Commission on its constitution may utilise the same and so that it can be enforced from the next academic session 2020-21 onwards for both UG and PG medical admissions,"
=============================
The ministry has also asked private medical and dental colleges across the country to charge fee for only the first year from students at the time of admission.
=============================
The Clause 1 of sub-section (1) of section 10 of the National Medical Commission Act 2019, empowers the Commission to frame guidelines for determination of fees and all other charges in respect of 50% of seats in private medical institutions and deemed to be universities government under the NMC Act 2019.

Nearly 50% of total MBBS seats in the country are in government colleges, which have nominal fees.
Of the remaining seats,
50% would be regulated by NMC.
This means that #almost_75_percent of total seats in the country would be available at reasonable fees.

However, the State governments would still have the liberty to decide fees for remaining seats in private medical colleges on the basis of individual MOUs signed with colleges on the basis of mutual agreement.
