Islamabad: In a significant move, the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has officially set a fee cap of 1.8 million PKR for private medical and dental colleges across the country. This decision aims to ensure affordable medical education and prevent unjustified tuition hikes by private institutions.
What This Means for Medical & Dental Students?
With rising educational costs, many aspiring MBBS and BDS students struggle with financial burdens. By capping annual fees at PKR 1.8 million, PMDC aims to bring transparency and fairness to medical college admissions while making quality education more accessible.
Will This Impact Private Medical Colleges?
Private medical and dental colleges will now have to adhere to this fee structure, ensuring that students are not overcharged. This move could also lead to more regulated admission processes and fair competition among institutions.
Students’ Reactions & Next Steps
Many students and parents have welcomed this decision, as it prevents excessive tuition fees and ensures that private colleges remain within a reasonable pricing framework. However, some institutions may seek further clarification on operational costs and financial sustainability under this cap.
