The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) has finalized an official directive to reduce medical education fees.
According to details, the fee reduction order will be sent to provincial governments for implementation. The fee structure was determined by the Medical Education Committee formed under the directive of the prime minister, the sources said.
As per the order, the annual tuition fee for MBBS and BDS programs at private colleges has been capped at Rs1.8 million.
The fee cap will apply uniformly across all academic years of MBBS and BDS programs.
Starting with the 2025 session, there will be a maximum annual increase of 5% in fees. From the 2026 session onward, any increase will be linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
