Fee Hikes in UP Medical & Dental Colleges: Here’s What You Need to Know
In early July 2025, Uttar Pradesh’s Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME–UP) issued official notifications approving a sharp increase in tuition fees for several private UP Medical and Dental Colleges, including those with minority quotas. The hikes range from ₹2 lakh to ₹3.5 lakh per year, and surprisingly, they apply even to students who joined in 2024, who must now pay the difference in four equal installments over 2025–26.
What Triggered This Fee Revision in UP Medical & Dental Colleges?
A fee‑regulation committee, chaired by the Principal Secretary of Medical Education, reviewed tuition proposals from private colleges and worked out revised fee caps. The High Court granted permission to implement them to UP Medical & Dental Colleges starting 2025–26—impacting both new and continuing students in select colleges like Sharda University, Rohilkhand Medical College, TS Mishra, GS Medical Hapur, Rama Medical College, among others (
In the case of non‑minority private BDS colleges, a similar committee conducted multiple meetings between February and June 2025, and the state finally notified the approved tuition fees for 2025–26 across around 19 colleges—including names like ITS, Subharti, Saraswati, Kalka, Rama, Indraprastha Dental—with fees ranging from ~₹2.9 lakh to ₹5.5 lakh per year. Hostel charges are also fixed: ~₹98,000 for non‑AC, ₹1.21 lakh for AC rooms
What Does This Mean for You?
1. Budget Shock for 2024 Admits
If your child got admission in 2024, you’re now asked to pay the extra amount, spread across four installments during the upcoming academic year. That’s unexpected financial pressure.
2. Planning for 2025‑26 Seats
If you’re sitting NEET 2025 and eyeing private/private‑minority colleges in UP, be prepared for much higher tuition than previously estimated. What once was ₹10–12 lakh/year could now be ₹13–16 lakh or more, especially in minority‑quota colleges like Teerthankar Mahaveer, Integral, F.H. Medical, Era, Career Institute, where fees hover around ₹15–17 lakh/year
3. UP NEET Counselling Impacts
The fee structure is part of the official UP NEET UG 2025 Counselling Brochure, which outlines eligibility, reservation, fee payment rules, and more. Registration begins from 18–28 July 2025, so families must have clear financial plans before filling out choices during Round 1 counselling
