The Bihar government on Friday directed self-financing medical colleges and deemed universities to charge fees at par with the state-run medical colleges for 50 per cent of the seats, officials said.


The government also decided to introduce a uniform fee structure in all state-run medical colleges, they said. The decisions were taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, they added.


"All self-financing medical colleges and deemed universities in the state will have to charge fees at par with government colleges for 50 per cent of the seats. The decision was taken to prevent students from going to other states for pursuing medicine," said S Siddharth, additional chief secretary (cabinet secretariat).
