However, in the case of private un-aided medical colleges the fee structure is decided by a Committee set up by the respective State Government under the chairmanship of retired High Court Judge in pursuance of the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. It is for the Committee to decide whether the fee proposed by an institute is justified and the fee fixed by the Committee is binding on the institute.

The Medical Council of India after verifying the teaching and infrastructure facilities available at the medical colleges sends its recommendation to the Central Government, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Central Government issues approval/disapproval on the basis of MCI recommendation.

The matter is also referred to Ethics Committee of the Council to investigate against the said fake faculty/Dean/Principal of college and action is taken against them as per the Code of Medical Ethics Regulation.
