Quota for the rich? 28% of MBBS seats cost over Rs 10 lakh per year in tuition fees

About 28% of MBBS seats in India cost over Rs 10 lakh per annum in just tuition fees. The high fees effectively makes these seats a quota for the rich, one that is larger than those for the SC (15%), ST (7.5%) or OBC (27%). And that’s without taking into account the fact that this 28% is of total seats, while the caste-based reservations do not apply to all.
