has no business charging Rs 80 lakhs per student for an MBBS course, however high its rating is.
Such a course, according to MCI officials themselves, should not cost more than Rs 20 lakhs even for a new 50 seat medical college opened and run by any govt without any subsidy.
That fees ranging from Rs 50 lakhs to Rs 1 crore per student for an MBBS course is commonplace in the private medical education sector in India only points to how really rotten and how really corrupt it has become !
Bharati Vidyapeeth is a Deemed university and a group of higher educational institutions established in Pune, India, in 1964 by Indian politician and educationist Patangrao Kadam. Bharati Vidyapeeth has campuses across the country at New Delhi, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Solapur, Kolhapur, Sangli, Karad, Satara, and Panchgani. It runs more than 78 schools and 60 institutions of higher education, including those of professional education. Among these are colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Nursing, Pharmacy, Engineering, Management, Hotel Management, Catering Technology, Environment Science and Agriculture etc. On April 26, 1996 the Government of India, on the recommendation of the University Grants Commission, granted the status of "Deemed to be University" to a cluster of 12 institutions of Bharati Vidyapeeth.

The PROBLEM with the private Educational Institutions is that - The PEOPLE who OWN these Institutions have NEVER even entered the Premises of a Primary School in the days they were supposed to. Today these people are SELLING Educational Degrees and Certificates at HIGH PREMIUMS due to the LACK of WILL of the State Governments. The POLITICIANS and the OWNERS of the Private Institutions are HAND in HAND with each other.
What is wrong in allowing private educational institutions when the govt is not able to run educational institutions. But duty of the govt is to monitor whether those private institutions are running as per rules specified by the govt - but it seems to be lacking on the part of govt. It is so good if govt runs educational institutions but the question is whether the govt has funds to run. I would like to quote there are discussions now for privitising existing public sectors undertakings inclusive of Railways, NLC etc .......
Someone cant afford the fees or they can get the seat cheaper in neighboring states? Would you like keralites to go and sped the cash else where? Economics and common sense will prevail eventually. Look at AP or Telangana they spend about 4 lakhs at 10 level to get a seat in IIT. Havent seen a lot of beggars in kerala. So, the only reason for this political brinkmanship is the resounding thrashing the CPM gave the congis a while ago.
I don't understand why this senior journalist is presenting the problems of the current MBBS admission with other unrelated issues? Is his intention is to confuse others or to argue for the maffia?
Major issue in this year's MBBS admission is that it is going on in the sate from two different merit lists. As per the Supreme court verdict, admission to 50 % of private colleges are conducted as per the NEET score and 50% as per Kerala Government's Entrance Exam.
Can any body say that the State Government merit list is better than All India Merit list (NEET)? If any one analyze the rank lists of both the NEET and the State, it is very easy to understand that there is no clear parity between the both; some students with high rank in the NEET list have very low rank in the state list and vice versa. Therefore, the argument that the state list is merit list and the other list is non merit list is a wrong argument.
Major anomaly in the Government decision is that the government agreed with the private college to admit 50% students as per the NEET rank, but with a very high fee of 11 lakhs whereas the students admitted from the State list has to pay only 2.5 lakhs. This is unlawful cruelty against the unfortunate who could not do well in the state exam but better in the all India exam. This is quite unlawful because it is against the supreme court direction of avoiding cross subsidy and simple denial of personal rights.

T V R Shenoy is right in implying that the higher educational institutes in Kerala are not so high in value !
First these MLAs should quit their own party because if anything the Congress has bigger role in making education a fish market. State govts and Central govt. have washed their hands off education after discovering how profitable it is to run such institutions while garnering Social capital.
