MBBS Fee in Karnataka to Increase by 10 Percent for Private Colleges; Details Inside

Karnataka MBBS fee hike by 10% has been ratified by the Karnataka Government for admission in the academic session 2024-25 at private medical colleges of the state. 

Reportedly, the private medical and dental colleges demanded an increase of 15 to 20% fee hike owing to increasing operational costs faced by the private medical institutes 
but the government proposed and ratified to increase the MBBS fees in Karnataka by 10%. Private medical and dental colleges belonging to minority communities earlier agreed with a 10% hike while the remaining colleges refused for a 10% increase.
