Islamabad: The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has drafted a proposal regarding the fee structure for private medical colleges across the country. The proposal, which incorporates suggestions from the relevant committee, suggests that the annual fee for private medical colleges should be set between Rs 1.8 million (18 lakhs) and Rs 2.5 million (25 lakhs).
This move aims to regulate the cost of medical education in Pakistan while ensuring quality standards in private MBBS programs. The Minister of State, Ishaq Dar, is expected to announce the final decision in the coming days.
The proposed fee structure has sparked debate among students, parents, and medical education stakeholders. While some believe this will help maintain education standards, others are concerned about the affordability of private MBBS programs.
The final decision by the PMDC and the government will determine the future of private medical education in Pakistan. Stay tuned for updates on the PMDC private medical college fee structure and its implications for aspiring medical students in Pakistan.
