Panel withdraws PG fee structure

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, JULY 8. In a dramatic turnaround, the Committee for Fixation of Fee Structure (Murgod Committee) withdrew the revised fee structure for postgraduate (PG) medical and dental courses it had notified for seven colleges.

The Murgod Committee filed an application before a Division Bench comprising Justice S.R. Nayak and Justice D.V. Shylendra Kumar seeking to withdraw the fees in respect of BLDE's B.M. Patil Medical College, Bijapur; J.S.S Medical College, Mysore; M.S. Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore; J.S.S Dental College, Mysore; A.B. Shetty Memorial Dental College, Mangalore and R.V. Dental College, Bangalore.

Some of the colleges contended that the committee had fixed the fees without giving them an opportunity to be heard.

The Bench directed the committee to redetermine the fees for PG courses.

With the committee withdrawing its fee structure, students are likely to be asked to pay a higher fee than what was fixed earlier.
