| At least three colleges in Nagpur, Pune and Nasik have overcharged students by increasing fees to cover their bizarre expenses.
The scam was unearthed after the Parents' Association of Medical Students got a reply to an RTI application asking colleges to justify the steep hike.
The colleges shocked students and parents when they doubled their fees this year without any reason.
The Supreme Court had clearly laid out that the fees charged by medical colleges should be a reasonable amount of what a college spends to provide education.
Submit balance sheets
The colleges have submitted their balance sheets to justify their fee hike. NKP Salve Medical College: Balance Sheet
Interest: Rs 2.8 crore
Petrol and diesel expenses: Rs 21 lakh
Vehicle hiring costs: Rs 4,26,000
Bank commission: Rs 21 lakh
DA & Allowances payable: Rs 2.38 crore
The balance sheet shows everything from petrol expenses, advertising expenses, bank commission charges and even the legal fees are being used to explain their new skyrocketing fees.
But one wonders how do they get away with probably because all are owned by politicians.
NKP Salve Medical College in Nagpur, is owned by Ranjit Deshmukh, who was once a minister and chief of the Maharshtra Pradesh Congress Committee.
This college has hiked its fee from Rs 2 lakh to nearly Rs 4.5 lakh this year.
Steep hike
D Y Patil Dental college in Pune is owned by education baron and veteran Congress leader D Y Patil. The college has increased its fee three times from Rs 86,000 per year to Rs 2.3 lakh. D Y Patil Dental College: Balance Sheet
