The supreme court of India recently gave a verdict saying that the MCI doesn’t have any right to interfere in the admission process except in a matter of legal debate. Furthermore, it suggested a common entrance test for admission to medical courses.
The health ministry is looking forward to file a petition opposing the judgment. The common test is most likely to benefit the private institutions charging sky rocketing capitation fees and stratospheric fee structures.
An apex court commented whilst the Inamdar case commented,” To set up a reasonable fee structure is also a component of the right to establish and administer an institution within the meaning of Article 30(1) of the constitution, as per the declared law in Pai Foundation.
Every institution is free to devise its own fee structure subject to the limitation that there can be no profiteering and no capitation fee can be charged directly or indirectly, in any form (Para 139)”.
