COMMITTEE FOR FIXATION OF FEES FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTIONS

(MEDICAL)

Order

1. This Committee for Fixation of Fees for medical and technical institutions came to be

formed as per the directions issued by the Honble Supreme Court under Article 142 of the

Constitution of India in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 350 of 1993 (Islamic Academy of Education

and another versus State of Karnataka and others), alongwith other connected petitions,

dated 14 August, 2003. The Honble Supreme Court while issuing the directions, also directed

the educational institutions that each educational institute must place before this

committee well in advance of the academic year its proposed fee structure.

Alongwith proposed structure all relevant documents and books of accounts must

also be produced before the Committee for their scrutiny. It shall then decide

whether the fees proposed by that institute are justified and are not profiteering or

charging capitation fee. The Committee will be at liberty to approve the fee

structure or to propose some other fee which can be charged by the institute.

2. The Honble Supreme Court further directed that once the fees are fixed by the

Committee the institute cannot charge either directly or indirectly any other amount over and

above the amount fixed as fees. If any other amount is charged under any other head,

nomenclature or guise i.e. donations, the same would amount to charging of capitation fee.

3. In the Indian context, the education had been considered as charity but due to the

effect in the modern times of materialistic society, concept offo|k nkueis being tried to beconverted as fo|k nkeeand it is being made a source of income. However the traditionalconcept of this Country has been adopted by the Honble Supreme Court. This charity too

was taken of very high grade. Their Lordships too have found that imparting education is

basically a charitable act. In the society, affluent class used to come forward in the past to

help those who had merit, but not the enough means. If basically this concept is taken,

then only the have-nots can be helped and the nation can rise to its past glory. The

institutions established by the Societies, or Trusts should not consider the imparting of

education as a commercial activity. Such institutions have been registered either under Public

Trust Act or under Societies Registration Act. But now the approach being adopted by the


2/22

2

institutions with the object of earning money is that of a corporate company, which is not

permissible under the law and the objects for which the institution was installed.

4. As stated above, the education in the Indian context has been a charity and this

charity has no bounds as it was felt that the more wisdom is delivered in charity, the more it

increases. It was a happy beginning that some public spirited prosperous citizens in the past

scenario found that the Governments were short of funds and were not able to satisfy the

demand of the day for educating good professionals. Such citizens therefore undertook and

persuaded others to come forward to contribute and donate generously in the field of

education. A telling example in this context is that of Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya who had

worked day and night and had successfully established Banaras Hindu University to educate

the younger generation in these fields so that the country may develop and achieve the lost

status and the position, by giving good educated professionals to the society at large.

5. Anyhow, with the changing time the educational activities also became more or less

the commercial ones and the institutions, without bothering about the welfare of the society,

started making money out of such activities. In the circumstances the disputes arose and the

matters went up to the stage of Honble Supreme Court. The Apex Court considering the

prevailing facts, circumstances and the situation, partly resolved the dispute and directed that

only deserving candidates be admitted to such institutions and the merit be not neglected. It

may not happen that un-deserving candidates on the basis of their approach, status &

prosperity, succeed in seeking admissions to such institutions, bypassing the deserving

candidates. No country can shine by neglecting the merit. In view of Honble Supreme Court

the educational activities are charitable in nature and those be not taken as that of money

making companies and the money be not made a material criteria for securing education.

6. The Honble Supreme Court directed each State of the country to constitute two

Committees in the field of medical and technical education, one for deciding the Admission

Procedures to such institutions and the other Committee to decide their Fees Structure. The

Honble Supreme Court has cautioned a warning to the institutions that no institution shall

involve in profiteering as the educational activities were bound to be charitable in nature.

7. The private participation in the field of education is also the need of the day and those

who enter in this field must bear in mind that they have to serve the society and thereby

contribute in building up of nation. With the Gods Grace, in the society when a section gets

prosperous, a small part of its wealth, should be spent towards the upliftment of the nation

which would also satisfy their moral duty towards the society. Such lucky ones may allow

their co-brothers who are not so lucky to share a small fragment of their good luck.

8. The Apex Court further directed that Governments appropriate authority should

consider framing appropriate regulations, if not framed, whereunder if it is found

that any institution is charging capitation fee or profiteering, then that institution

be appropriately penalized and also face prospect of losing its

recognition/affiliation.

9. This Committee met several times and discussed the issues. Principal Secretaries of

Medical as well as Technical Educational

Institutions were told that the government has been directed by the Apex Court to fix

percentage of quota of seats for Management and the State in professional colleges for

medical and technical separately, on the basis of the need of the State.

10. The Supreme Court judgement has further provided that in case of any dispute as

regards the fixation of percentage of such quota, it will be open to the management to

challenge it before the other Committee constituted for considering the admission procedure.

11. The Chairmen of the two Committees were appointed vide Govt. of Madhya Pradesh,

Technical Education and Training Department D.O. No. F-14/33/03/42-1 Dated November 04,

2003 (Copy annexed as Annexure-A)

12. The State government had although issued the order regarding percentage of quota

for the technical institutions, but no such percentage was fixed by the government with

regard to medical institutions till 5th April, 2004. Initially, the state government had granted 3

months period to both the Committees and their first meeting was held on 18.11.2003 after

above referred initial order of appointment of Committees. The term of these Committees

was as such, expiring on 17th Feb., 2004. The state government was apprised of the fact that

since the required percentage of quota for medical institutions had not been fixed by the state

government, this Committee was constrained to stay its hands in that regard. In the

prevailing circumstances the State Government extended the term of the Committees on 3

occasions, last being upto 31.05.04.

13. As this Committee had expected that the percentage of quota for medical institutions

may also be fixed by the state government in the near future, it had fixed the dates as

16th/17th/18th and 19th of March, 2004 for hearing the representatives of institutions, the

students and their parents with regard to fixation of fees for Medical and Technical


4/22

4

Institutions. But since the government had fixed the percentage of quota only for technical

institutions, the

hearing for medical institutions had to be postponed in the Committee meeting dated

04.03.04.

14. After the quota was fixed by the Govt. for Medical institutions the hearing dates had

been re-fixed as 20th, 22nd and 24th of April, 2004.

15. Since no institute had supplied the directed information after the passing of above

referred Supreme Court judgement, this Committee, had to send copies of the above

judgement to all the concerned institutions in order to apprise them of the directions issued

by Apex Court of the Country. It was deeply hoped that now the concerned institutions

would obey the directions of the Honble Supreme Court and would supply the required

information to the Committee. But no institution, paid any heed to the directions issued by

the Honble Apex Court. This Committee took this lapse very seriously. However, as this

Committee had to decide the fee structure, therefore, avoiding the controversy it had issued

another letter with a questionnaire to the institutions for supplying the information and

submitting the proposed fees structure. Even to this letter, only some of the institutions

responded. Thereafter this Committee had issued public notice and got it published in the

leading newspapers of the State that the personal hearing would be done by the

Committee. The programme was published in the following manner (copy of a newspaper

cutting is annexed as Annexure -B).

1) April 20th, 2004 Medical, Dental & Nursing Colleges

2) April 22nd, 2004 Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, Unani Colleges.

3) April 24th, 2004 Students and parents of all categories of colleges.

16. The Committee held the personal hearing of all the present Managers/ representatives

of the institutes. The Institutes also had the liberty to submit required information and the

documents on such dates. In the hearing the response remained very poor as 18 Nos of

management officers of medical institutions and only few parents/students attended the

hearing.

17. The competition and controversies in this field of medical education are circled around

mainly on medical and dental colleges and then lesser around Ayurvedic, Homeopathic,

Unani and Nursing colleges. Presently there is only one private

medical college and five dental colleges in this state.

18. However, since the government, at first instance, wanted that the whole exercise be

completed within 3 months but lastly before 31st May, 2004, the Committee had decided to

have random inspection of some of the institutions which was done in order to see and assess

as to what facilities they were providing to the students and whether they were following the

minimum norms fixed by MCI, DCI, NCI, Council of Indian System of Medicines and CCH. In

this situation all the institutions could not be inspected, so it is not possible to decide the fee

for each institution separately. As such, uniform fee structure is being provided, depending on

the class of institution. The Honble Supreme Court has issued a caution to the professional

institutions not to involve themselves in profiteering. During the inspection of some of the

institutions, as with the shortage of time it was not possible to inspect each and every

institution, it is found that the institutions have spent lot of students money on construction

of buildings and other infrastructure. No doubt that the students should get a proper and

congenial atmosphere for studies, but for that purpose the standards of education can not be

sacrificed. The infrastructure is only like a body without soul and if care is not taken to recruit

competent staff members of faculty and the collected money of students is spent not on

salaries of the teaching staff, but mainly on infrastructure, in that situation the soul of the

body would be missing. The standard of education would suffer adversely. The very purpose

that the country may rise and stand in competition in the international field would be

defeated. The Honble Supreme Court has therefore laid much stress on the merits rather

than the quantity in education. Merely producing the graduates or professionals for loitering

on the roads as they would not survive in multi phased selection system and would remain

unemployed even after a lot of money of their parents was invested in their education. Such

situation would lead to frustration in the younger generation.

19. While examining the Institutions supplied information it is found that the

institutions are not following even the minimum prescribed norms fixed by respective

Councils and were profiteering. The teaching staff as required under the norms ofrespective Councils is not recruited and instead of professors even the lecturers in

required number have not been employed. Although inspections were made by

respective Council before granting them permission to run the courses and also

thereafter. The authorities of the respective councils are based at Delhi with no

active control on these institutions, due to the distance. The State government has also not

been provided to have any control on them. In the circumstances, it is found better that

the provision be made so that State Governments nominated authority is empowered to

have surprise inspection of the institutions from time to time, then correct factual position

could be brought to the light. Appropriate authority of the State government must also have

powers to inform respective Councils as well as other concerned authorities and apprise them


6/22

6

with the factual position as found in the institutions on surprise inspection, so that better

administration of the institutions can be had, then only the educational standards of the

professional courses can be improved. (emphasis supplied by us).

20. The main stress of the Committee is on the standard of education, the manner in which it

is being imparted and the competence of the teaching staff of the institution. If any

institution has sufficient funds, it may establish a good infrastructure and buildings, but that

by itself would not be sufficient unless the students are made knowledgeable on being taught

with good teaching standards, depending on the competent quality of the staff.

21. It is brought to the notice of the Committee that in fact good qualified teaching

staff is not available in the country. This

Committee had formed two sub-committees one for medical and the other for technical

education - to suggest fee structure and the ways and measures in this regard. The Sub-

Committee for medical education is headed by Dr. D.K. Taneja, (Retd. Dean of Medical

College, Indore) assisted by Shri R.K. Khatuja, Expert (Finance), (Retd. Asstt. Commissioner of

Income Tax.). The other Sub-Committee for technical education is headed by Dr. J.P.

Shrivastava, (Retd. Director, Shri Govindram Saksaria Institute of Technology and Science,

Indore), Member of this Committee, assisted by Senior Consultant Prof. C.A. Keswani (Ex.

Director of Technical Education). Both the Sub-Committees have performed their part very

well.

22. This Committee is of the opinion that advantages of conference facilities through

satellite network should be availed of, till sufficient teaching staff becomes available for

teaching the students in the classrooms and in this regard the controlling Committees are

required to change their norms. The institutions are also required to sponsor some good

faculty members for further studies after taking bond that those would serve the institution for

4/5 years.

22. However, the apathy of the institutions in performing their part in this regard is to be

viewed seriously. It is unfortunate that the required data and documents as directed by the

Supreme Court were not supplied by many of the institutions. It is a serious

lapse. The defying attitude is not to be tolerated. The students lot, from such institutions

would also be undisciplined and will have the defying attitude. The culture they adopt and the

traditions they get is from home and/or educational institutions. Against the institutions which

had not supplied the required information, the legal presumption and adverse inference is

being raised that they had nothing to say in this regard. The Committee in the

circumstances has examined the information furnished by the institutes for calculating the

average cost of imparting education per student for forming the basis of fee structure with


7/22

7

other factors, (i.e. minimum standard norms fixed by the respective Councils) and allowing

them the reasonable Operational Cost, for fixing the fees. The Court should also consider to

properly punish them for not complying with the clear directions of the Honble Apex Court.

24. The Societies and the Trusts being inspired by very high and the noble principles of

service to public and nation, came forward and decided to start professional institutions,

considering the financial limitations of the Govt. and need of the society. Such efforts require

all appreciation.

25. However, the Societies and the Trusts have now diverted from initial object. They

have not been able to show to the Committee, how and where the charity is being applied.

Institutions have not given any scholarship to deserving student who may be brilliant in their

view. Therefore the societies/trusts should not expect from students and their wards that they

would also pay towards investments which have been made in developing the infrastructure of

the institutions.

26. Similarly, it can not be lost sight of that in view of markets rising trend in the prices

of the land, investment so made, would provide entitlement for any depreciation because

the rising prices and appreciation in value of assets would take care of that situation.

However, the Committee is prepared to provide depreciation on furniture, instruments and

other perishable items. The effort of this Committee is also to see that the institutions do not

suffer by the fee fixation to such extent that it may be difficult for them to survive. Therefore

the Committee has to strike a balance between the interest of the institutions and of the

students.

27. The reasonable method for deciding the fees structure of professional medical

institutions would be to assess the cost per student in imparting such education and then to

take the decision on fees structure. The effort ought to be to make the professional education

affordable. With regard to medical education it has to be borne in mind that this profession is

service oriented.

28. Down the ages, treating the patient was taken as serving the humanity. Hence it was

considered as a noble profession. In this materialistic world the right path has to be shown by

this Country. We are not becoming the idealistic while writing these lines. We are only

remembering our past. When the Government establishes medical or dental colleges, it is

guided by the concept of public good. In the present we need benevolent persons motivated

by altruism & public welfare.

29. Both Central and State Governments are very clear in their mind that responsibility of

establishing and running such institutes can be discharged by public spirited men and that is

why, in Central and State, medical regulations require the registration of sponsors under

Public Trust Act or Societies Registration Act for establishment and management of such

institutions. The reason is very clear as only such high minded Trustees and Society

members, could be entrusted the job to run these institutes. It was naturally expected of

them to generate funds through donation and grants so that the cost of teaching of such

professional knowledge was within the reach of meritorious students. In the students, who

have taken expensive education before entering this noble profession, the spirit of service to

mankind would generally be missing.

30. While considering what should be the fee structure for medical educational institution

in this State, we can also not loose sight that this State is not developed as many other

States in the country and the per capita income in Madhya Pradesh is much less when

compared to the other developed States. Madhya Pradesh is still a developing State and

is striving very hard to reach to the status of the other developed States. In this regard

we have to consider that the parents of the students in this State can not afford expensive

education to their children, but it does not mean that nothing should be charged from them

towards education. At the same time we have to consider that educational institutions which

have come forward and have taken the social responsibility to educate the younger generation

of the State, do not run in losses in the activity of imparting education. We have to strike a

balance in between these two aspects and therefore, we have to consider the fees proposals

of the institutions, received upto 30.4.04.

31. It was a sorry state of affair that in the public hearing also there was a very poor

attendance of the managers of the institution and also of the parents/students. After

completing the hearing of technical educational institutions, when the State had fixed quota of

the seats in medical education, parents and students of medical were invited to express their

views and grievances before the Committee in order to provide materials to the Committee for

fixing the fees. But again this time the response was poor. The Committee had provided

number of opportunities to the institutions, to the parents and to the students to come

forward and assist this Committee in arriving at a reasonable conclusion. Anyhow, the

Committee had to form its views on the basis of the information which was supplied by

some of the Institutions for making up the mind what can be the fees structure for such

medical institutions.

32. We have considered the proposals made by medical educational institutions.

Information about the response received from the institutions is given in the table below:

MBBS 01 01

Nursing 11 04

Ayurvedic 07 06

Homeopathy 18 06

Unani 03 02

Total 45 24

The response received is only 53.33%.

33. From the proposals it is clear that the institutions have highly inflated their expenses

and the fee structure proposed by them have no justifications. Those can not be approved.

34. As stated above institutions were invited for hearing and presenting their cases on

20th, 22nd and 24th April, 2004. It was also an opportunity for those institutions, which had not

given data earlier to do so and to present their cases. Representatives of only 18

establishment attended the hearing.

35. Some of the colleges submitted the proposals during hearing on 20th and 22nd April,

2004. We have considered the proposals received till 30th April-04. One Proposal of SAIMS

College has not been considered as that college has not yet started.

36. DEFICIENCIES IN RESPONSES RECEIVED:

The institutions were required to submit a summary of financial data and the separate

financial statement of the institutions & society, and a combined financial statement of

institution and society. Most of the responding institutions have submitted thestatements having several deficiencies, e.g. only Balance Sheet & Income and Expenditure A/c

in respect of Society has been submitted, financial statements have been given without

verification from C.A. etc. To overcome all types of deficiencies, all institutions were still given

opportunity as above. But no response has been received from the institutes.

37. On going through the proposals submitted by the colleges, it is found that none of

the colleges have furnished the copy of audited accounts and balance sheets in support of the


10/22

10

financial statement submitted by them. Some of the colleges have submitted the information

without signature/attestation of Chartered Accountant, which they were asked as per

proforma supplied to them. Some of the proposals are only signed by the Principal of the

colleges. Thus, the proposals submitted by them are not well supported with financial

statements and those are considered to be unreliable. Hence, it is not possible for the

Committee to recommend the fee for any of the colleges separately on the basis of their

proposals.

38. From the analysis of the data, it is obvious that the institutions have been profiteering

and creating infrastructure out of the fees collected from the students, and thereby financially

overburdening the students. It is also obvious that fee structure

decided in the past was not based on the principles of costing and this gave undue advantage

to the sponsors/ management of institutions so far.

39. COST PER STUDENT

As has been narrated earlier, due to poor response of the institutions in supplying the required

information to this Committee, the Committee was constrained to form the basis of its order

for the fees fixation on the average of data supplied by some of the institutions and has also

taken into account the norms of Medical Council of India, Dental Council of India, Nursing

Council of India, Council of Indian System of Medicines and M.C.C.H. The cost of education

per student for the above disciplines is calculated on the basis of which the order of the

Committee will as such have the sound basis and good reasoning for deciding the fee

structure. The main components for deciding the cost per student/fixation of Tuition fees as

per Norms of the Councils are:-

1) Salaries paid to teaching and other staff:

The respective Councils have fixed the number of teaching staff and other non

teaching staff to be employed in different faculties.

The institutions have not formulated a Personnel Policy interalia, indicating pay scales

etc., accordingly payscales of Medical Teachers by Govt. of M.P. have been taken as norms for

fixing tuition fee.

2) Investment made in infrastructure


11/22

11

Under the norms as fixed by respective Councils, the requirements of land, building,

furniture and lab equipments and infrastructure are to be provided by Sponsors before seeking

the Councils/ Govt.s permission to run the college.

3) Books & Journals

As per the norms of the respective Councils, the institutions are required to provide

certain number of books initially before being given permission to admit a student and they

are further required to buy certain number of books every year. This aspect has been

considered for fee components. However, no separate fee is to be charged for library as

against the cost of this item since it has been included in tuition fee.

4) Interest on Borrowed fund:

There are no norms prescribed by the Council for the payment of interest on

borrowed fund by the colleges. It is mandatory for sponsor to provide the infrastructure and

other essential requirements. Therefore, interest on borrowed funds ought not to be made a

component for considering the tuition fee.

40. The Councils have not specified the norms for day to day expenses to be incurred by

the colleges. Many of the expenses claimed by the institutions are either inflated or

inadmissible for the purpose of tuition fee fixation. For example, the refund of caution money

has been included by the colleges under the expenses claimed by them. The Committee has

considered the information received from the various colleges and have worked out the fair

and reasonable expenses which are to be considered for running a college as per the norms of

the concerned Council.

41. FEE STRUCTURE:

As mentioned earlier that imparting of education is essentially charitable in nature.

The respective Acts i.e. Public Trust and Societies Registration Act under which the institutes

are registered, cast duty upon the sponsors to generate funds through donation etc. and to

form corpus to meet a portion of the capital and recurring expenditure of these institutes.

The fee structure fixed by this Committee covers the two major components of fees

viz:

(1) Operating Expenses

(2) Contribution to Development Fund


12/22

12

The Committee has decided to have uniform fee structure for all dental colleges except

College of Dental Science, Rau, Indore as that institute has presently only sanctioned strength

of 60 students. From the day the such strength is increased to 100 the uniform fee structure

would be applicable for this institute as well.

42. OPERATING EXPENSES:

The operating expenses are supposed to cover salary to the faculty and principal,

laboratory, managerial and other staff, raw material for laboratories and workshop, electricity,

telephone and other expenses such as annual book purchase, subscription for journals in the

library as per norms prescribed by respective Councils, university charges including affiliation,

development fees etc., repair and maintenance of infrastructure and other recurring expenses

required to run the college/institution (on the basis of information received from various

institutions excluding depreciation on infrastructure i.e. building).

The depreciation on infrastructure i.e. building has not been considered for fee

fixation for following reasons:

1) To provide infrastructure i.e. land and building is the first and foremost condition to

open the college by the Society/Trust.

2) Yearly maintenance cost has been considered while computing operating expenses.

3) Fee for development and replacement of infrastructure (at the end of its useful life)

has been considered @ 10% of fee under the head Development Fund in the following

paragraph.

43. DEVELOPMENT FUND

The development fund is provided to take care of development cost and replacement

of infrastructure at the end of infrastructure life. The development fund component is

included in the fee at the rate of 10% of tuition fee. The account of development fund must

be kept separately and may be invested in banks and/or government securities. The purpose

for which it can be utilized ought to be specified.

44. FEES:-


13/22

13

44.1 TUTION FEE:- On the basis of the above, the tuition fee of various colleges will be

as under:

1) R D Gardi Medical College, Ujjain

Although the fee structure for dental colleges is being fixed uniform, with one

exception of this college, for the time being as it has the sanctioned strength of only

60 students whereas other dental colleges have strength of 100 students. Presently

the tuition fee for this college is fixed at Rs. 1,46,000/- per annum inclusive of

development fund fees. If the strength of students is increased to 100 in future at any

time during three years period, the fee structure of this college would also be as Rs.

1,12,000/- per student per annum, similar to other dental colleges.

The fees for Homeopathic colleges on the consideration of the cost per student is

coming to the minimum amongst all the other pathies. It is the cheapest pathy

treatment and diagnosis wise and is most suited to Indian conditions for the

treatment of common ailments, where the large population lives below the poverty

line. This pathy is based on symptoms and does not require costly investigations for

the diagnosis of the ailments. The medicines are also cheap and have no reactions.

The tuition fee is fixed at Rs. 22,000/- per annum for these Homeopathic Colleges


(7) (i) Al Farooque Unani Tibbiya College, Indore, & (ii) Hakeem Abdul Hameed

Unani Medical College, Dewas.

The tuition fee is fixed at Rs. 42,000/- per annum for these Unani Colleges inclusive

of development fees.

44.2 Educational tour fees:

The college under Indian System of Medicine are required to charge educational tour

fees compulsory, for collection of herbal drugs and for pharmaceutical manufacturing. For this

purpose the colleges are charging Rs. 2000/- from each and every student once in five years.

The same is allowed to be charged by the Ayurvedic, Homeopathic and Unani Colleges apart

from the tuition fees.

44.3 Student Fund:

The fees be charged under the head ofStudent funds which would be @ Rs. 1000/-

per annum per student of all the disciplines, to be utilized for registration, medical insurance,

prevailing market rate in the town, but in any case not more than Rs. 4500/- per annum. The

fees is to be collected on semester basis.

44.6 University Fees:

The University fee differs from University to University. Therefore, the actual fees be

charged from the student as per the fees of University.

Only College caution money be collected from all students at the time of admission to

the college and hostel caution money from those who join the hostel. The amount of the

deposits is fixed as mentioned below:
