Thiruvananthapuram: The government released the notification for this year’s MBBS admission in self-finance medical colleges. The fee amount was decided to be Rs 6-7.65 lakh. The fee was fixed based on the decision by Fee Regulatory Committee headed by Justice Rajendra Babu. The fee structures of 19 colleges were declared. 

The NRI fee comes up to about Rs 20 lakhs. Out of this, Rs 5 lakh must be set aside for BPL scholarships by various managements. The scholarship distribution will be based on the Supreme Court verdict.
