Ten News Caught Exclusively With IMA President, Dr. Ravi to Speak more about the NMC bill Agitation, Speaking to Ten News Correspondent, Prerit Chauhan, He Said, “The present NMC Bill allows private medical colleges to fix charges for up to 60 percent of seats which will pave the way for corruption. this bill is passed then there will be a dark day in history. Corruption will be expensive even in the medical field. Upon passing the bill, the right to decide the fees for 60 per cent seats in private medical colleges will be given to the management.
