NEET, or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, is the national level entrance exam in India for students who wish to study undergraduate medical courses (MBBS or BDS). The script discusses the high stakes and the large number of students who take the NEET, emphasizing the intense competition and the pressure it puts on students.

💡Meritocracy

Meritocracy is a system where the most capable or talented individuals are chosen for certain positions or roles. The video questions the meritocratic nature of medical admissions in India, suggesting that high fees in private colleges and the reservation system may not be selecting the best candidates based purely on academic merit.

💡Fee Structure

Fee Structure refers to the breakdown of costs associated with attending a particular educational institution. The script provides detailed comparisons of fee structures across different types of medical colleges in India, revealing a stark contrast between affordable public institutions and the exorbitantly priced private ones.

💡Government Colleges

Government Colleges are educational institutions funded and managed by the state or central government. In the script, these are contrasted with private colleges, where it is noted that government colleges offer more affordable fees and are more accessible to a broader range of students.

💡Private Medical Colleges

Private Medical Colleges are institutions not funded by the government, and they often charge higher fees. The video script discusses the high costs associated with these colleges, which can be prohibitive for many students, thus limiting access to medical education for those who cannot afford the steep fees.

💡Deemed Universities

Deemed Universities are institutions granted the power to award degrees by an act of parliament. In the context of the video, Deemed Universities are highlighted as having high fees similar to private medical colleges, making them financially inaccessible for many aspiring medical students.

💡Economically Weaker Section (EWS)

Economically Weaker Section refers to a category of people with lower income levels who may be eligible for certain reservations or benefits. The script raises concerns about the authenticity of some EWS claims, as it notes instances where students labeled as EWS have paid extremely high fees to attend Deemed Universities.

💡Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE)

The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination is a test that Indian students who have studied medicine abroad must pass to practice medicine in India. The script points out the high failure rates of this exam, indicating that students who study MBBS abroad may not be as well-prepared as those educated in India.

💡Doctor-Population Ratio

Doctor-Population Ratio is a measure of the number of doctors available per a certain number of people in a population. The video discusses the low doctor-population ratio in India, which is far below the recommended standard, indicating a shortage of medical professionals in the country.

Transcripts

hi everyone students and parents welcome

to Career 360 while the nation is fired

up over the need scam and the paper

leaks let's confront why mbbs admissions

in India are so Cutthroat so corrupt and

Out Of Reach of so many of us why do we

force students and families into endless

Agony anxiety and pressure do we deserve

this from our government and our society

the data we about to reveal will shock

you depress you outrage you infuriate

you I dare say this is a white paper on

the black Deeds of a policy makers by

the end of it all I'm hoping that I'll

be able to Spur some of you into action

and hopefully we'll all be speaking in

one single voice listen in on the data

that we're about to present grasp and

understand what the data

reveals let's start with the total test

takers in the country there are two big

examinations for students one is for J

which is which is for engineering

examination and one for neat which is

for medical

examination right the in the J exam

a lot more boys take the examination

whereas in in neat examination a lot

more girls take the examination in fact

in J 67% students are boys but when you

come to neat examination 57% students

are

girls and this is very important for us

to understand right now the Total

Medical College in this

country all put together is 74 74

colleges and these 744 colleges have

about 1 lakh 9,170 to to Medical seats

in the country but the problem starts

from here because of the 74 Medical

College 382 our government colleges

seven are Central universities 3 264 are

private medical colleges and 51 are

private private deemed

universities and that's where the big

difference comes now let me show to you

the fee that is charged at as rur it is

one of and I'll explain to you how the

as rort fees works right at am rort the

fee that Indian student who passes out

on Merit just pays five 856 rupees now

let us move to the next one which is as

jpur at as jpur an Indian student just

pays 5,356 rupees and the Miss Mes is

36,000 rupees so what we're dealing with

is in a year the student pays about 40

45,000 rupees all inclusive to study at

as jpur in all if you look at the total

Central universities that you have in

the country there are seven of them the

total seats that all these things as rur

ypur and all those things that I've

showed you Delhi and their many names

the total seats that they have is 1,180

the average fee per anom is just

22979 perom the total average cost over

the 5 years including mess and hostel

and everything in our opinion works out

to about 3.65 lakh rupees now let us

move to the public medical colleges in

the country these are actually owned by

this government different state

governments or the medical college has

been built with public investment right

in which case the government regulates

the fee and it works out well for us the

first one I'm showing is Pandit BD

Sharma Medical College in

rotak the the fee here if you notice

very closely is 30,000 rupees perom then

you have the admission fee the student F

all those things but in the year one our

estimate is that the student ends up

paying just 59620 rupees 59620 rupees

per anom at this particular public

Medical College the second one I'm

showing you is in Mumbai you know

earlier I showed you rotak now I'm

showing you Mumbai because the public

institutions in the country charge a

similar kind of fee it there's not much

massive difference in this case in in

Mumbai the Lo manak Municipal Medical

College in in seon in Mah in Mumbai

charges a term fee of 1.14 lakh rupees

perom and then you have the Development

Fund fee this that and all but all put

together the total cost would not be

more than 5 lakh rupees over the next 5

years 5 and a half lakh rupees right so

this public Medical College or

government Medical College what we call

them in all in India we have 382 of them

who have a total number of seats of

52225 the average fee that a student

pays in these college average which

means with talking of the weighted

average of all the seats that you have

multiplied by all the fee that is

charged at each of the seat in different

medical colle comes to

73969 close to 74,000 rupees let's say

right the total cost of Education

including hostile mess and everything

would not be more than 6.2 lakh

rupees right so you actually have the

central Universities at just about 3.6

lakhs and now you have the public

medical colleges at 6.2 lakhs so that's

what we talking of between 3 and half

lakhs to 6 6 and half lakhs is what

we're talking of but this is where the

story

stops and I'll explain to you why I'm

saying this the other two we talked

about is private medical colleges and

deemed universities right what is the

cost of medical education uh in in

private space let's understand that I'm

now right now showing to you one

particular College called American

Institute of Med medical Sciences udur

this in udur what is the fee that uh

that is charged

for the State nature seats it is 18.9

lakh perom and for the all India nature

seats is 25 lakh rupees

perom it is perom and the Hostile fee is

2.1 lakh perom extra so the at the least

a student is spending at least 21 lakh

rupees between tuition fee and hostel

facility and add to that the caution

money the admission fees the others and

everything you're actually spending

about 1.25 crores over the 5 years time

and by the way this is first year things

and it will keep moving on some of the

expenditure keeps increasing right so

once we understand the fee structure

let's understand the overall structure

of the private Medical College in India

at this point in time we have 264

medical colleges the total number of

seats that we have is

42515 the average fee per anom is 12.76

lakh these excluding mess hostle and

everything remember that but the total

cost that a student is likely to spend

is close to about 7882 lakhs or close to

80 lakh rupees so we moved from 3.6

lakhs to 6.2 lakhs now 80 lakhs for

private medical college and it is just

begun the problem is just begun let's

look at the next data set I'm now

showing you deun which is another the

fourth category of medical colleges that

we have in the country I'm showing you

the fee structure of D parle Medical

College where the fee at a merit basis

is 26.5 lakh the eligibility fee is 2

lakh the Hostile fee is 3.05 lakh perom

and the caution money deposit is 50,000

so if you look at it between hosle fee

and the tuition fee itself right we're

dealing with about 29.5 lakh or 30 lakh

rupees over 5 years a student spends 1.5

crores year to study 1.5 crores now

let's look at the overall data

set the overall data set for deersi

suggests that we actually have 51 de

unities in the country the total number

of seats that we have is just 10,250 the

average fee per anom is 2.52 lakh 2.52

lakh if you add the Hostile mess and

everything a student is likely to spend

about 1.22 CR rupees per anom to pursue

mbbs in these 10,250

seats and that is the core of the

problem so we talked of the you know

very good price structures of central

universities a decent price structure of

the state public medical colleges PR

price structure of the private medical

college and the price structure of the

de universities in the country were very

very expensive I'll now come to a larger

issue that we have we talked of whether

nit actually drives meritocracy let us

understand how why it it's a question

mark in my head and you should also be

questioning that in 2024 you actually

had 1 lakh 19,000 seats but the total

students who qualified for the

examination is 136,00 ,000 out of a

total 24 lakh students who took the test

136,000 students qualified for the test

right all of us have taken the

examination a typical pass percentage is

35% or 40% right depending on which

state you study in it's it ranges at the

least at 30% but typically most of the

states say you need to get at least 35%

Mark to pass an examination but in the

case of neat that standard has been

lowered

dramatically in 2022 the pass percentage

is 16. 36% a student who got 117 117

marks of a possible

720 was deemed to have been

qualified in 2023 the pass percentage

the qualification percentage 137 on a

possible

720 remember this year 67 students got

720 on 720 but in this particular case

in 2023 137 is the Pass qualification

Mark in need which is 19% marks of a POS

that is possible right 137 on 720 which

is 19% marks and over the last 6 years

when you look at data the past person

the qualification percentage is Hing

around 20% so for neat or for National

medical commission which you know

conducts these examination through NTA

the Pass qualification percentage is not

35% that you and I are used to but

20% but why do they do that they only

have one lakh seats why do they need 13

LHH students to qualify why can't they

limit themselves to 5 L students being

qualified because of the 5 lakh for sure

one lak will claim their seat right no

they don't they don't because when the

fee is 1 CR 1.25 CR 1.5 CR many of the

students fall apart the seats that you

have in private universities and de

universities are typically what I call a

reservation for the rich you talk of

meritocracy let's talk of

meritocracy and these 55,000 seats that

are there for in priv Medical College

and de universities because the fee is

80 lakhs and above not more than 2% of

India can actually afford that the other

98% even if they get a good score and

can get into it someone will got 500

marks but will still not prefer a

private Medical College which goes to a

student who got 110 marks 120 marks

because they can those guys can afford

it and this student who got 500 out of

720 cannot afford it let me explain to

you with data

again I'm now talking of the cut offs

that we have for deemed private

universities right in ACS Medical

College in Chennai a student who got 137

marks of a possible 720 with a rank of

10ak

12,392 got a seat and this I'm talking

of 2023 data just be clear about it 2024

the counseling has not even started when

you go down further SRI Balaji Medical

College 137 marks rank of 10 lak 9,000

you get a seat Arup we do Medical

College in pisher 10 lakh 5,138 marks

you get a a seat you further keep going

down at 110 Max also you actually get a

seat in piteri when the rank is 11 lak

91412 11 lak

9,412 which means when you only have 1

lakh 6,000 seats in 2023 a student who

got 11 lak 91,000 also could lay a claim

on an mbbs seat and the data that I'm

showing is from the nmc website where

they actually show the entire counseling

data and what is the last cut off in

each of the colleges the entire problem

doesn't stop here you know we talked of

the fee structures and all but it's just

again I'm saying it is just the tip of

the iceberg I'll now move to the NRA

fees that is you know charged by the

some of these colleges in bharti viya P

Medical College the fee for NRA student

per anom is

$855

$855 if you multiply by five the student

is likely to pay 4 $4.25 lakh which is 4

CR rupees let's look at the next another

College also just to put this in

perspective I'm now showing you the the

cost sheet for the S biology Medical

College and Hospital in Chennai what is

the fee that NR pay it is $60,000 perom

$60,000 which means over 5 years they

pay $300,000 which is the fee itself is

2 and5 CR rupees so essentially what

we're dealing with is the NRI fee is

between 3 and 4 CR rupees and that is

what many of the medical colleages have

and what does it lead to it leads to

massive question mark on the Merit of

these students right so the thing is

because of this this kind kind of a

inflated uh pricing that you have the

Merit Falls in BH viap the need score of

NRI student who got 140 and a rank of

9.96 lakh has got a seat in B DM

University again a rank a score of 121

on 720 with a rank of 11 10,592 got a

seat and the if you look at the Merit

now you also have a student in you know

there's a college called Institute of

Medical scien and Su Hospital bature

orisa right in this orisa based College

a student who got 107 marks 107 marks on

a possible 720 which means we're dealing

with a percentage which is just about

14% if I'm not wrong with a rank of 12

lak 15,000 got a seat so every time when

you increase the price of the of of the

course your Merit actually is falling

and that you can see every single time

and that seems to be happening only in

private medical colleges because public

medical colleges students are willing to

take it because they can afford it in

private it's not about what is a Rank by

the you get it by the rank it's not just

the rank the biggest filter is can you

effort to pay the fee which is between

80 lakh and 1 and a half CR and at n at

4 CR and that is a bigger problem that

we're dealing with I'll show you with

next slide something else which is more

important when you drive these things

when the fee in public education is

about you know between 3 and a half lakh

to 6 and a half lakh and in private

education between 80 lakh and 1 and a

half CR students who cannot you know

affort the private medical college and

cannot get into the public medic Medical

College they fall into the Trap of

studying or pursuing mbbs abroad and

it's creating a bigger problem for this

country you have heard a lot of these

stories about what happened to the

students who studied in Ukraine and who

came back to India and didn't know what

to do about it it it continues to happen

in Russia recently Georgia most of the

CIS countries Philippines China most of

our Indian students started looking at

options to pursue mbbs outside of the

country because private education is

outside the reach and public education

they don't have the Merit and when you

get into that situation last year in

2023 the number of students who and by

the way people who go abroad to pursue

mbbs when they come back to India have

to pass an examination called fmga which

is foreign medical graduate

examination and this examination there a

lot of students who are now appearing

for that in fact in 2023 the number of

students who appeared for fmg was 6277

62077 and in our estimate the number of

students who pursued mbbs in India and

were appearing for a similar exam

examination in 2023 which is the mbbs

India examination was 63,0 250 because

in 2018 which is a passing out batch for

2023 the ad total seats that were that

were available was

6325 so we now have a situation where

the number of students who are studying

abroad for mbbs and the number of

students studying in India for mbbs is

almost similar and this is a very

alarming thing because what what exactly

is happening here is we're losing

students we putting them to Great risks

we losing foreign exchange we not

creating medical seeds and pushing them

out of India and importing them back

into a structure where possibly they've

not studied and skilled themselves as

much as what an Indian student would be

doing because many of these Medical

College who went where the students go

outside of India uh especially in the

CIS countries and all the education

level there and the standard and of the

skill set that are there is very

suboptimal as compared to what you have

in India the kind of learning that you

have in a Medical College in India where

you are attached to a hospital and go

around with the doctor and keep looking

at the doctors many of these Hospital

you know uh Medical College outside of

India are not even Affiliated to a

hospital they don't have a hospital of

their own they don't they're not

affiliated to hospital all you do is

classroom learning and that's a bigger

problem but the problem doesn't stop

here let me show you one more data set

right I said you know each of the

students have to appear for an

examination in 2023 about of the 6277

who appeared for the examination just

about 10,255 passed which means almost

84% of them failed the examination which

means they went there they got a degree

from of mbbs from there but they cannot

come back and practice in the country in

22 it was 23% pass pass rate in 21 it is

24% pass rate but overall the pass rate

in fmg is just about 20% so one in five

pass four and five fail the

examination so you go out because you

can't do m BBS in India you go out

you're not as skilled as what an Indian

do doctor would be because the

facilities there including hospital

affilation is not as good as what you

have in the country by mandate there's

one more thing that actually struck me

when I was looking at data and this is a

very very serious thing that I hope

someone investigates and someone puts

their foot down on that now when you

define ews which is economically weaker

section it means that you cannot afford

the fee and that's why you're coming

through that category right and the the

ews as far as my understanding is

concerned is about 8 L rupes perom is

the uh salary limit that you've done

that anyone who's earning less than 8

lakh Rupees is under the ews category

and they can claim through the

reservation system of ews into a public

institution but what shocked us is that

about 200 of these ew students paid a CR

or of rupees or more and joined de

universities I'm not even getting a

state private medical colleges which

will also be a lot more of the 10,000

seats that have 2%

seats in De universities are claimed or

paid for by the ews students this opens

a big question mark on the kind of

certification that they have of calling

themselves

ews because this is for me a shocker

because if you're earning less than 8

lakh rupees it's just sustenance level

you can just survive barely survive with

that money and here you have paying 1.32

crores in bhat Medical College and

Hospital in Chennai a 1.01 crores in

Vaya missions 1.32 cres in Santos

Medical College 1.26 CR in lxmi Nar

Institute of Medical sciences and so on

so this brings me to a larger

question you know the minister very

recently has said that India has one

doctor for 834 population of this

country and we call this the India's

doctor population ratio who recommends

that it should be one doctor for at

least thousand people of of any country

right but here there's a bit of a jugy

that happened they also added 5.65 lakh

aish doctors to be doctors and then

change this ratio the real picture

actually comes from an address given by

the former vice president of India s Wai

NAU where he talked of doctor population

ratio and he said noting the low doctor

to population ratio at 1,000 1 is to

1,511 that's what he arrived at there by

the way this 1 is to 1,511 is the data

that was given by the 15th Finance

Commission of

India in India against the W nor of 1 is

to 1,000 right so as a seat now I think

we have about, for every 1,400 people we

actually have one doctor give give or

take 100 plus or minus right and that

needs to be improved so what do we end

with this entire thing what is it what

does this data say at this point in

time we are the only country where 48%

of the seats are reserved for the 2%

people because in 20 uh

2024 of the 1.09 lakh seats that are

there 52765637

University

space right two this is not

meritocracy neat is not about

meritocracy n is about creating an order

so that or and a larger base of people

so that anyone can pick up student at

the fee that they would want to charge

because at 107 score also 107 out of 720

also student got a seat in MVPs whereas

at 500 55600 people gave up because they

cannot pay the

fee right and with all this same we also

pushing our students to study abroad and

last in 2023 we had as many students

coming back into India and trying to

take the fmg examination to be a doctor

in India as we have doctors who joined

in 2017 2018 and passed out in 23 which

is about 6 63,000

students right and we also have a

situation where non-resident Indians are

willing to pay 4 CR Rupees to pursue

mbbs in India so where do we go from

here what kind of doctors would we

create when a student is paying 1 and a

half 2 CR Rupees to be a doctor in the

country how much Public Service would

they be able to do some of them might be

on loans also for all that you know but

the conscience the collective conscience

of this country must demand that we must

increase Supply at affordable pricing so

that students who going abroad can at

least stay back in India students who

wanting to be a doctor can at at least

have a better proportion and give more

permission to more medical colleges

especially in public institutions

and also in private institutions as long

as they comply to a basic demand that

the fee would be regulated for a certain

period of time so that the country can

actually have more students staying back

in India and pursuing mbbs in India the

country can have more doctors the

country can have more doctors with the

conscience the country can have more

doctors who will be there for public

service and that is very very important

I hope this data you know opens up your

eyes I hope this data will speak to you

and tell you what is wrong with the

medical education in the country I hope

this white paper on the black Deeds of

the policy makers is corrected as soon

as possible thank you so much
