High fee challenge to medical edu pursuit

The survey flagged challenges that stand in the way of medical education pursuit — high fee ranging from Rs 60 lakh to Rs 1 crore in private colleges; skewed location of medical colleges in India’s south, less remuneration for fresh medical graduates and lack of qualified and experienced faculty. However, the number of those aspiring to study MBBS increased from around 16 lakh in 2019 to around 24 lakh in 2024.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
