Chandigarh: To ensure better medical education and infrastructure facilities for students, the Punjab Cabinet has decided to increase the fee for the MBBS course in Government and Private Medical Colleges of the state.

According to a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office, the fee for the MBBS course in the state for Government Medical Colleges was last notified in 2015 and for Private Medical Colleges in 2014.

These collages had, in fact, been seeking fee hike for a long time as they were facing hardships to provide good infrastructure and impart quality education to the students at the current fee rates.

The cabinet also cleared the amendment in the Punjab Agricultural Group-A Service Rules, 2013.
