This reduction in fee for PG (Non-Clinical) seats is considered without prejudice to the persistent representation to increase the fee fixed by the Fees Committee for both government and Management seats in clinical specialities with a view to sustaining the quality of medical education in our lnstitute and also to cross-subsidise the fees to increase the enrolment in non-clinical specialities for which the demand is decreasing year by year.To view the letter, click the link belowhttps://medicaldialogues.in/pdf_upload/pims-reduces-annual-fees-for-non-clinical-pg-medical-courses-under-management-quota-for-2024-25-253042.pdf
