Unending processes of medical admission

It is a pity that we can’t make a sustainable process for ensuring medical admission in government and private medical colleges in Kerala.
The problem gets vitiated as private medical colleges want to collect hefty fee. The government may say the fee levied by private medical managements is Rs 5.50 lakh and Rs five lakh deposit.

But the grapevine has it that to get medical admission in the management quota would entail up to Rs 50 lakh. I heard someone asking a person involved in private management admission about the hefty fee. The reference was about Rs 20 lakh. Cool came the reply. There is no vacant seat for the next three years. All these seats are filled in advance. Don’t make a mistake, fee payment has also been made in advance. Maybe, most of these seats would be cornered by NRIs.

I always used to wonder why should private institutions charge exhorbitant fee? Many of the managements can easily muster crores of rupees by donation from philanthropists and run these medical colleges charging ordinary fee from competent students.

Why can’t Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Tata and all start medical colleges and IITs at ordinary rates of fee using part of their income? In the US, all billionaires are donating half of their earnings to charities.

After all, an educated and well-equipped India would be a noble thing.
