NMC Orders Medical Colleges to Stop Charging Fees for Internship Year - MBBS Fee Valid Only for 4.5 Years of Academic Study

The National Medical Commission's April 7, 2026 directive states medical colleges cannot charge fees for the compulsory internship year. MBBS fees are valid only for the 4.5-year academic period, not the full 5.5-year program. This applies to all government and private colleges. Interns must receive a stipend. Non-compliance invites regulatory action under the NMC Act 2019.
