Students seeking admission to new medical colleges in the state will have to shell out more for their studies. The Fee Regulating Committee (FRC) for medical courses announced the annual fee for the new medical colleges including those at Sola and Gotri.

Annual fee for the medical colleges in Sola, Cancer Society Hospital in Ahmedabad and Gotri medical college in Vadodara will be in the range of Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs3 lakh. 

While fee for Sola and Gotri medical colleges will be Rs2.50 lakh each, fee for Cancer Hospital would be Rs3 lakh.

Admission process for medical students commences from July 18 and will come to an end on July 27.

Students will have to pay more fee to study in these new medical colleges set up by the society registered by the state government. The fee for these colleges is higher when compared to the fee charged by state run medical colleges.

Manish Doshi, spokesperson of Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee and member of Gujarat University Executive Council said that while the state government is spending exorbitant money for organizing festivals, it is exploiting the middle class and poor to fund these.

“Apart from the chairman of the fee regulatory committee, who is a retd. judge, all other members represent one or the other government offices. Its member secretary is commissioner of state health department while its officer on special duty is from state government run B J Medical College,” Joshi said.

He further said that the society, which would be running these new medical colleges is also registered by the state government.

Further Cancer Society is also run by the state government's secretary level representatives. In spite of all these facts, the FRC imposed costly fees to charge money from the students, he said.

Doshi said that all these new colleges were set up with the fund provided by the Centre and the state. “Even then the state government is giving these colleges the self-financed status and charging huge fees.”
