In Gujarat, 771 students who were allotted MBBS and BDS seats have opted out of their placements due to unaffordable tuition fees, according to a report by The Times of India.
A total of 771 students who received allotments for MBBS and BDS courses in Gujarat have chosen not to enroll, citing the high cost of tuition as the main reason.
The decision comes after the state’s medical entrance board announced the allotment list, which left many prospective doctors unable to meet the financial demands of their chosen institutions.
The move has created a number of vacant seats across the state’s medical colleges, raising concerns about the impact on the supply of future medical professionals.
The Gujarat Medical Education Department has not yet released an official statement on the issue, but officials are reportedly reviewing the fee structure and exploring possible relief measures for students.
