Katihar Medical College : The Review

Fees and Financial Aid:

The tution fee has increased this year to 11,55,000/- which makes it 52 lac for the whole course (4.5 years). But this is not allowed there are separate fee for hostel and some miscellaneous fee which makes it a total of around 80 lac for the whole course. There is no fixed fee increase policy. There are scholarship chances where if your family has BPL card you can get the whole tution fee excused. (not hostel and other fee) After final year there is a mandatory 1 year of internship with a stipend. But no other source of campus employment.
