No Extra Fees For MBBS Internships, NMC Directs Colleges

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed all Indian medical colleges to charge MBBS tuition fees only for the 4.5‑year academic period, excluding the compulsory internship year. Charging fees for the full five or 5.5‑year duration is inconsistent with course structure. The NMC warned of strict action against institutions that violate the rule.
