Patna Medical College is nominated for DrNB Nephrology, Neurology courses through NBE

PATNA: Bringing good news to the health aspirants in the state, the National Board of Medical Examinations (NBEMS) has given nod to the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) to start courses in low- specializing in nephrology and neurology.
Confirming this to HT, Medical College Principal Dr.Vidyapati Chaudhary told HT, “On August 30, our Neurology and Nephrology departments have received permission to start the DrNB course (DrNB) and three seats and two of each year. These courses will start from the next year. According to NBEMS, PMCH has become one of the first government medical colleges in Bihar to get permission to conduct sub-specialty courses, i.e. DrNB courses in all disciplines. Currently, the college offers specialized programs in neurosurgery and plastic surgery.

Do not obtain Apex Medical’s approval

Earlier, before 2019, the college tried to start a sub-medical program by applying to the National Medical Commission (NMC), formerly the Medical Council of India (MCI). However, at that time it did not get approval from the Apex Medical Group due to low demand from people.

“We applied to the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in September last year for permission to start a special program in neurology and nephrology, and we recently received permission,” he said. Dr Chaudhary, director general of the university, told Hindustan Times. “The main reason for not re-applying for the DM course last year is that the NMC requires one professor, one associate professor, one assistant professor and one senior physician from each department to apply for the course DM. Dr Harsh Vardhan , associate professor “We did not have a set hierarchy when we applied for permission to start the special course last year,” the department of nephrology told HT.

NBE has approved two seats per year

The NBE, on the other hand, has five years of experience after the DM to become a senior consultant to train students in a specific subject added  both Dr Gopal Prasad, Professor and Head of Department of Nephrology, PMCH. And I fulfill the criteria of a senior consultant, so NBE has approved two seats per year.HT has told that the nephrology department of PMCH does not have a senior resident yet.

Currently, in the neurology department of PMCH, Dr. Gunjan Kumar and Dr.Monish Kumar have more than five years of experience. An employee confirmed on condition of anonymity that NBE has approved three positions here, but there are no professors in this department. In this regard, Dr. Harsh Vardhan also said, “Until we introduce special courses in our medical schools, we will not be able to produce qualified doctors to run our special department.”

NMC CBME syllabus: According to Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) Curriculum 2024 guidelines

NMC has included that all MBBS students should have to learn on ‘Suicide Risk Assessment’ as a certifiable skill. According to the updated CBME 2024 guidelines, which were recently published, suicide risk assessment is now part of the MBBS curriculum and must be completed by students. For the purpose of developing this skill, role play and bedside instruction are among the recommended teaching-learning methods.

“Suicide Risk Assessment’ as a certifiable skill in 706 MBBS Colleges

The academic branch of the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine and the Indian Teachers of Psychiatry (IToP) have supported the inclusion of this ability in undergraduate medical education.
Speaking on the subject, Professor and Head of the Psychiatry Department at JSS Medical College in Mysuru and Chief Coordinator of IToP Kishor M. told The Hindu that all MBBS students in more than 706 medical colleges in India will now be required to receive suicide risk assessment training due to the Apex Medical Commission’s approval.

The Commission’s clearance was given just days before the Lancet released research on the financial impact of suicide deaths in the nation, according to the most recent media source from The Hindu. India leads the globe in the number of suicide fatalities, with an estimated $16.7 billion in national economic costs associated with suicide, with Karnataka leading the way.

Training for 40 hours, 6 weeks of training

In this context, Dr Kishor emphasised how, upon finishing their bachelor degrees, generations of doctors in the nation have little to no expertise in psychiatry. “Though part of medicine, psychiatry was paradoxically not part of the evaluation in any phase of MBBS till now,” he stated.

He went on to point out that in the CBME 2024 curriculum, the NMC has considered suicide risk assessment as a valid skill and is therefore now accredited, he said: NMC’s Certificate of Medical Education (CBME) He has been training for 40 hours, 6 weeks of training. Clinical awareness in psychiatry is an important part of MBBS training.According to CBME 2024 guidelines, suicide risk assessment and diagnosis and management of depression are integrated skills. medical students, every doctor must train in psychology to be licensed as a doctor.

In Mysuru, a mobile app was launched during Covid by a group of volunteers comprising psychologists and technologists to self-evaluate their mental health, daily reported. This program showed encouraging results at Bangalore Medical College and JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research (JSSAHER).The program called Self Assessment for Life (SAFL) was used not only by the faculty of Bangalore Medical College to train its medical students, but also by the JSS School of Nursing to train its teachers and his students, said Dr. Kishore. He added that this program can be used not only to evaluate yourself, but also to evaluate a friend or family member. It is designed to ensure user privacy

Private colleges in Maharashtra have been granted permission by the State Government to charge up to five times the regular fees set by the Fee Regulatory Authority (FRA) for management quota seats in undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Ayurvedic, Homeopathy, and Unani Medicine.

Starting from the academic year 2024-2025, this revised fee structure is expected to increase costs for management and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota seats at self-financed medical colleges by approximately 15%. Consequently, fees for management quota seats in BAMS, Homeopathy, and Unani courses could reach as high as ₹13.5 lakh, while the standard fees for general category seats will remain around ₹2.75 lakh. The fee revision follows a request from the association of private, unaided medical colleges in Maharashtra.
The government’s decision to increase fees has led to significant backlash from aspiring students, their parents, and student organizations, who argue that this hike will make many medical seats unaffordable. As reported by the Indian Express, one aspirant stated, “The fee structure for BAMS, Unani, and Homeopathy under the institution quota is going to skyrocket with this decision, putting these seats out of reach for middle-class students.”

High fees for BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS courses

Critics have raised concerns about the sustainability of such high fees for BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS courses, which are less popular than traditional MBBS programs. Education activists have noted that this year, the elevated fees for MBBS courses at private medical colleges led many students to consider BAMS and BHMS as alternatives.

Sudha Shenoy, a medical education activist, commented on the situation, highlighting complications with this year’s NEET UG results resulted in higher-than-usual cutoffs, impacting many aspiring medical students. “The government appears to be closing all doors for students, which is particularly unfavorable given the additional MBBS seats allocated by the National Medical Commission (NMC). This, combined with the fee hike, is causing further challenges for both medical aspirants and their parents.”
According to the college’s website, students admitted through the institutional quota currently pay ₹26,99,500 per year, while the regular fee is ₹2,81,500. For NRI students, the fee rises to ₹11,17,500. With the new rules in place, these fees are expected to increase further, said a parent seeking admission for their child to a medical college in Ahmednagar.

In an interview with HT, a State Government official acknowledged that the decision was not made appropriately, emphasizing the need to consider parents’ opinions before finalizing the fee hike, rather than taking a one-sided approach favoring management.

Dharmendra Mishra, a member of the Fee Regulatory Authority (FRA), explained that the panel uses a specific formula to determine the fee structure for colleges. He noted, “If colleges charge three to five times the regular fees, they must report this as income in their financial statements, which many do not regularly adhere to. We’ve discovered that some colleges collect fees in cash without declaring it as income. To address this, the FRA will require colleges to disclose the amounts charged for management seats during the fee reconciliation process.”

Deemed medical colleges across India have announced significant increases in their postgraduate medical course fees. Several deemed-to-be medical institutes have hiked their annual fees by ₹2-5 lakh per annum for various MD and MS courses.

Among the institutes experiencing the highest increase are two colleges under the MGM group, located in Navi Mumbai and Aurangabad. These colleges have raised the fees for their various courses from last year’s Rs 30 lakh per annum to Rs 40 lakh. Additionally, the colleges have increased their fees for other branches by Rs 5 lakh. A course in MD Radio-diagnosis or dermatology at MGM Medical College in Navi Mumbai this year will cost ₹35 lakh per annum, a significant increase from last year’s fee of ₹25 lakh.

Fee Hike in Non-Deemed Medical Colleges and Private colleges

Several other private, non-deemed medical colleges have also increased their fees. KJ Somaiya College in Mumbai has set its MBBS fees at ₹12 lakh. Vedanta Institute of Medical Sciences in Palghar will charge the highest annual fee in the state for MBBS this year at ₹17.03 lakh. KashibaiNavale Medical College in Pune has not raised its fees this year, but the annual cost remains over ₹14 lakh. NKP Salve Institute in Nagpur has its fees at ₹13.08 lakh for 2024-25, while Prakash College in Sangli, which reduced its fees two years ago, has set its fee at ₹7.63 lakh for this year.
A seat in MD Radio-diagnosis at Pune’s Bhartiya Vidyapeeth would cost ₹36.75 lakh annually for the incoming class, up from ₹35 lakh the previous year. A few universities, such as D Y Patil Medical College in Navi Mumbai, have kept their tuition rates from the previous year, but an MD in orthopaedics will set you back ₹60 lakh annually, while an MS in general surgery will set you back ₹40 lakh annually. However, the Pune-based DY Patil Medical College has increased tuition for all of its programs by ₹1.5–2.5 lakh annually this year.
Yenepoya Medical College in Mangalore has also announced an increase of Rs 10 lakh from the original fee of Rs 40 lakh to Rs 50 lakh for its dermatology and radio diagnosis programs. Sri Ramchandra Medical College in Chennai and Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi have also experienced a fee increase of Rs 5 lakh. Currently, Sree Balaji Medical College stands as the most costly in the nation, with its dermatology and radio diagnosis programs now costing Rs 70 lakh, an increase from Rs 65 lakh in 2023.

Colleges faced fee fixation memorandum

Many colleges expressed dissatisfaction with this decision, leading some deemed medical institutes in Tamil Nadu to challenge a fee fixation memorandum in the Madras High Court. The court has directed the NMC to reassess the memorandum, taking into account the concerns raised by both deemed and private medical colleges regarding the financial strain caused by the requirement to charge lower fees for 50% of their students. Numerous medical colleges nationwide are now hoping the Supreme Court will grant a stay on the NMC fee memorandum.

“The reason government colleges can offer medical seats at lower fees is that the state covers all their expenses. Private and deemed colleges don’t have that option. If the government mandates that we charge government rates for 50% of our seats, we will face significant losses unless we increase fees for the remaining seats,” explained the dean of a private medical college in Nashik.

Parents demanding strict regulation of fees

Parents are calling for stricter regulation of fees, particularly in deemed colleges. “The government wants to impose fee regulations on 50% of seats in private and deemed institutes, while also pushing for regulation on the remaining 50%.

Last-Minute Format Alterations

On September 20, the Supreme Court of India expressed concern over last-minute changes made to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) exam format by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). The court, consisting of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, deemed the changes “unusual” and has asked the NBE and the Union Government to respond within a week. A follow-up hearing is scheduled for September 27, 2024.

Discrepancies in Exam Documentation

The NBE conducted the NEET-PG 2024 exam on August 11, with results announced on August 23. Candidates had previously filed a plea highlighting that the exam format was altered just a month prior, converting it from a single session to two sessions with separate papers—contrary to NBE guidelines.
Petitioners’ counsel pointed out that the NBE failed to provide essential documents such as question papers and answer keys, which are necessary for candidates to assess their performance. Many candidates reported discrepancies in their scorecards, which did not accurately reflect the number of questions attempted.

Transparency Issues Highlighted

The plea stated, “There is a clear lack of transparency in the conduct of the NEET-PG 2024 exam, as no documents are provided for students to check their performance.” This includes the absence of the question paper, response sheets, and answer keys, leaving students with only a scorecard that may contain errors.

Concerns Over Normalization Method

The petitioners also raised issues with a new normalization method introduced shortly before the exam, which they argued was arbitrary. They claimed that this method led to significant changes in student rankings, creating confusion and clumping of scores that didn’t accurately reflect candidates’ abilities.

Criticism of NBE’s Actions

Senior Advocate Vibha Makhija, representing the petitioners, criticized the NBE for implementing the new normalization policy just three days before the exam, calling it a “knee-jerk reaction.” She emphasized the lack of established regulations for exam conduct, which rely solely on an information bulletin that can be altered at any time.

Chief Justice’s Concerns

The Chief Justice questioned the rationale behind changing the exam pattern so close to the exam date, emphasizing the stress it could cause students. The NBE’s counsel defended their actions as normal, but the Chief Justice strongly disagreed, highlighting the unusual nature of such changes.

Ongoing Transparency Demands

This is not the first time concerns have been raised about NEET-PG exams. In 2022, similar pleas were filed regarding discrepancies in the NEET-PG 2022 exam results and the lack of transparency in the evaluation process. The Supreme Court dismissed those earlier pleas in June 2024 due to the delay since the exam.
The current situation underscores ongoing demands for transparency and fairness in the NEET-PG examination process.

Good news for medical aspirants in Telangana! The National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted permission to establish a Government Medical College in Bhongir, with an initial intake of 50 MBBS seats. Confirming this, the Principal of the Government Medical College (GMC) told The Hans India, “The college will start with 50 seats. We have secured the necessary posts for college operations, and beds have been arranged. Preparations are complete at the building where the college will function.”

This approval from the NMC, the apex medical education regulatory body, comes after prolonged uncertainty regarding the status of the college’s approval. When the government medical college was sanctioned for Bhongir last year, the State Health Department began preparing to upgrade the district hospital into a teaching hospital, with plans to commence operations from the old collectorate building on the outskirts of the town this academic year.

To facilitate this, the district hospital, previously under Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (TVVP), was brought under the Director of Medical Education (DME). Most of the required positions across various categories were filled according to medical college guidelines.

However, the NMC had been withholding the crucial Letter of Intent (preliminary approval) for the college. During the first NMC inspection on June 23, several deficiencies were identified in the proposed medical college building at the district hospital. In response, the State Government submitted a proposal to address these deficiencies, followed by an online inspection at the end of July. Despite the improvements, the college did not receive approval at that time. After a third appeal and further enhancements, the NMC finally granted permission to establish the medical college.

According to a report from The Hans India, 54 professors from various specialties have already joined the teaching hospital, which has a capacity of 220 beds. These professors are currently providing outpatient services at the district hospital, and expansion work has begun to add an additional floor to the hospital.
