Medical colleges self-finance scheme & unfair fee
Unfair fee schedule
Lahore, July 24, 2008: The Punjab Government has decided to uphold its decision of converting
self-finance seats in medical colleges to open merit seats.
This would be
applicable only to the new recruits. What is really disturbing however is the
fact that the students already enrolled would continue to pay according to the
previous fee structure (self-finance) all the same which has aroused a feeling
of resentment amongst the students. Termination of self-finance should have
meant the abolition of the old fee schedule.
The big question is why have the
students already enrolled in the medical colleges been excluded from this
exemption? A few unsatisfactory answers have been given to this question that
need to be clarified. Firstly, the fact that policies are not changed in
mid-session is not entirely true as in the previous PML (N) era not only the
self finance seats were converted to open merit seats for all students but also
the students enrolled were refunded the extra fees.
Secondly, the number of
total seats that are included in the merit list after the entry exam of Punjab
Medical Colleges remains the same as it was when self-finance system was
operational hence the previous students and the new students would share an
equal standing in terms of merit, the difference being only that the enrolled
students are older than the new students.
One hopes that the CM Punjab would
look into the matter and do the needful. The government should introduce a
uniform policy for all students even if in present circumstances refunds are not
possible, at least the fee structure from the year 2009 should be according to
the open merit system.
