Doctors’ body seeks reduction in Category-A PG medical fees in Telangana

The Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association (HRDA) has urged the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) to reduce the tuition fee for postgraduate MD/MS courses under Category-A, or Competent Authority/ Convenor quota, in private medical colleges for the 2023-2026 block period.

In a representation submitted to the TAFRC chairman on Monday, HRDA president Karthik Nagula said Category-A postgraduate seats were allotted through the Competent Authority quota based on NEET-PG merit and, therefore, the fee for these seats should remain reasonable and affordable, particularly for students from middle-class and lower middle-class families.
