Medical Aspirants Move Court Against Allocation of NRI Seats

We cannot say that we haven’t predicted this would happen, there is no limit to how much we need to spend for a MBBS seat in India, instead we can get the same seat at half value abroad that too with world class equipment and syllabus. Four medical aspirants have moved the Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench, claiming that they never opted for the NRI seats that were allotted to them in Maharashtra’s NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences. The students have told the court that the fee charged for the NRI seats is too high for them to bear.

The students found themselves in a puzzling situation when they were granted admission under the NRI quota in a medical college in Maharashtra.

The students filed the petition before the court contending that the State Common Entrance Test Cell allotted them MBBS admission under the NRI quota without informing them even though they never sought those seats.

In their petition, the girls said that the fee for a medical seat for a Non-Resident Indian in the college is Rs 34 lakh per year irrespective of their category. On the other hand, the fee for a seat under the OBC category is Rs 19,000 in a government college and Rs 4.84 lakh in semi-government colleges. The fee for students belonging to the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe category is Rs 19,000 in all medical colleges. NRI seats are reserved to generate more revenue for medical colleges but due to high tuition fee, many of these seats remain vacant and are then converted into general category seats. Reports of NRI seats being sold to ineligible candidates have also surfaced from time to time.

Admissions through NRI quotas are not limited to medical colleges only. Managements of engineering colleges were recently permitted by the Kerala government to transfer their vacant seats to the NRI quota.
