The National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) UG for admissions to MBBS courses in Medical Colleges in India will have no changes in its exam pattern this year. NEET UG 2021 will be conducted on pen and paper mode in between June and July. Amit Khare, Secretary of Higher Education said that it would be very unfair for the students if NEET exam is conducted on the revised pattern in such a notice as students aren't prepared to face a sudden change in such a short period of time.
Amit Khare also mentioned that as much as they want to conduct the exam more than once to help students perform better which a student fails to do at times because of a number of reasons, conducting multiple exams on pen and paper in such a short period is not possible. It has to be conducted online which cannot happen this early as it requires consultations with all the stakeholders of NEET exam.
Comparing JEE and NEET, he said that NEET is mandatory for medical admissions to all medical colleges in India while such is not the case with JEE. To conduct exams online for biology students who might not be comfortable with computers can also be a task and conducting exams online and multiple times need preparations.

A notice issued in Maharashtra has created a stir among 50 private medical colleges in Maharashtra. This notice was issued by the Fee Regulating Authority (FRA) to these colleges for overcharging in excess of fees during medical admissions. These colleges have been sought an explanation for charging Rs. 1-2 Lakh for caution money alone. A few of these colleges are questioned for not displaying their fee structure on their college portal.
These medical colleges have been found of asking Rs. 2 Lakh for caution money. Other than this deposit, the college also charges for laboratory, hostel and gymkhana deposits. Library deposits of Rs 25,000-50,000 really puts pressure on students because students do not even use library books worth Rs 25,000 these days and misplacing books worth Rs. 25,000 is quite a task for any student. There was also a college which was found of charging Rs. 1 Lakh refundable amount for some academic club.
The Authority has asked all these colleges to submit written responses for charging additional money from students. While these colleges charge money as refundable amount, arranging the sum together is quite a task for both the parent and student.

The Tamil Nadu Health Department has issued a Government order to reduce the fee structure for Rajah Muthiah Medical College, Rajah Muthiah Dental College and Rani Meyammai College of Nursing which were earlier affiliated to Annamalai University. In contrast to high fees that students were paying earlier, students will pay much lesser fee after the revised fee structure. The fee for postgraduation students has also been changed.
The fee for the students who were admitted through single window counselling by the Directorate of Medical Education for two years now had to pay fees way beyond what is paid at self-financing colleges. This fee reduction in three medical colleges in Tamil Nadu was after the continuous strikes of students against the high fees. These students decided to boycott emergency services at Annamalai University. The University closed its premises indefinitely and asked the students to vacate the hostels but the protests continued. The Higher Education Department handed the colleges to the Health Department thereafter.
These colleges are now affiliated to the Tamil Nadu Dr. M. G. R. University and the names of these colleges had been changed.

There are contemplations going on in the Ministry of Health to take up the entire process of medical admissions at Deemed Medical Colleges in India to promote transparency and cutoff agents and deal-makers who auction medical seats. If so happens, the last round of institutional choice-filling will be scrapped. The admissions to medical colleges in India might also happen online. This will ease out the high-stress admission process of travelling and deal-making at deemed medical colleges in India.
Deemed Universities across the country conduct the admission for vacant seats after the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) hand over the process to the respective institutions across the country. The parents and students are then put into high stress as the NRI seats are auctioned which are five times more expensive than the normal seats.
The government, this year didn’t allow these colleges to change NRI seats to Indian students but that has not changed anything because of the high donations that has made a comeback. Around 2463 seats were vacant when MCC closed admissions this year but the last moment filling up of the seats and if admissions are happening on the basis of merit is not known to anyone.

Karnataka is all set to have a new medical policy and more medical colleges through Public Private Partnership (PPP) as said by Dr. K Sudhakar, Minister for Health and Medical Education. There is a need for more AIIMS and a New Medical Policy in Karnataka to meet the need of doctors in the state. A medical institution would require 600-700 crore of investment and PPP would reduce the burden on the state. The establishment of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences can be considered as the first step of the new change.
As per the guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a need of one doctor for a population of 1000 but India has got one doctor for a population of 10000-12000. To decrease this ratio, there is an urgent need to build up medical colleges in India and Karnataka. 157 medical colleges have been added over the last six years by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government also has a vision to add 22 AIIMS around the country, one in each state.
Dr. Sudhakar added that the state has a plan of setting up an AIIMS in the state as well, the best training institution in medical education. This would bring a new medical and education policy in Karnataka. The minister also added that the state is increasing the bed capacity at district hospitals to provide better facilities even at those places where there are no medical colleges in Karnataka.
