HRDA Calls for Action Against KIMS Over Illegal MBBS Fees
The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) says a medical college called KIMS is taking money from students that it shouldn’t.
Students are still in their fourth year, but KIMS is asking for the full fifth‑year fee.
HRDA also says KIMS is threatening students, like not letting them stay in the hostel or go to class, if they don’t pay.
The university, KNRUHS, told all colleges to only charge for four and a half years and to split the money into five parts.
HRDA wants the university to stop KIMS from doing this unfairly.
HRDA urges KNRUHS to act against KIMS for alleged illegal fifth‑year MBBS fee collection.
Complaints claim KIMS collected full fifth‑year fee while students were still in fourth year.
HRDA alleges KIMS used coercive tactics: denying hostel, threatening eviction, barring day scholars.
KNRUHS had directed colleges to charge tuition for only 4.5 years, with five instalments, per NMC notice.
KIMS has not responded to Deccan Chronicle inquiries.
