NMC has clarified that MBBS fees can be charged only for the 4.5-year academic period. Colleges cannot collect fees for the one-year internship, warning that action will be taken against institutions violating the norms.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a clarification directing medical colleges across the country to charge MBBS fees only for the actual academic duration of the course, putting an end to complaints of students being billed for the internship period.
The move comes after the Commission received reports that several institutions were collecting fees for the full five to five-and-a-half years of the MBBS programme, including the compulsory internship year.
Fee only for teaching period, says NMC
In its notice, the NMC made it clear that the MBBS course consists of 4.5 years (54 months) of academic study, followed by a one-year compulsory rotating internship (CRMI). Since the internships are not a part of any formal class teachings, the fees collected during this duration do not conform to the academic pattern followed by the institution.
