the newly approved system, tuition fees for postgraduate medical courses have been standardised across institutions. Pre-clinical courses will now cost ₹2 lakh annually, para-clinical courses ₹6 lakh, and clinical courses ₹32.5 lakh. The fee parity applies uniformly to both government-quota and management-quota seats in private colleges, ending earlier inconsistencies in the admission process.

Apart from tuition fees, additional academic charges have also been fixed statewide. Students will pay ₹35,000 annually to cover admission, library, and examination fees, along with a one-time registration fee of ₹10,000. Hostel charges too have been aligned across colleges, ensuring standard accommodation costs for PG scholars.

The reform is being hailed as a landmark decision aimed at curbing exorbitant fees previously charged by private institutions, especially for clinical specialties. In earlier years, clinical seat prices often ran into several crores, making PG education unaffordable for many deserving candidates. The new guidelines promote transparency and fairness, and are expected to bring much-needed stability to the state’s medical education ecosystem.

Medical student groups and associations have widely welcomed the FRC’s decision, calling it a transformative move that safeguards merit and prevents financial exploitation. Officials also indicated that the updated fee details will be included in upcoming NEET PG counselling notifications, with pending colleges expected to submit revised structures soon.

Experts believe Rajasthan’s decision could influence similar reforms in other states, potentially setting a national trend for standardised medical education fees.
