As 212 students failed to pay fees after the third round, ₹10,000 submitted by them as a deposit has been seized by the management of private medical institutes in Ahmedabad.
A total of ₹21.20 lakh was earned by the medical and dental departments of private colleges from the seized deposits.
Private college fees have increased significantly. Therefore, many students, despite getting admission in medical and dental, have avoided taking admission and continuing their studies.
Three rounds of medical and dental admissions have been completed, and at the end of the third round, 60 students in medical and 152 in dental did not confirm their admission, leaving these seats vacant due to non-reporting.
According to the rules, these 212 students, despite getting admission, did not pay the fees and did not submit the documents to the help centre.
These students, who did not confirm their admission even after paying the ₹10,000 security deposit, will not be able to participate in the fourth round.
Their registration fee of ₹1,000 was also added to the ₹10,000 deposit money, summing up to a total loss of ₹11,000 to each student.
Only those students who have not confirmed admission in the first, second, or third rounds and have not been allotted a seat in the third round are eligible for the fourth round.
Now, after three rounds, choice filling for vacant seats has been extended till Monday. Students who have not confirmed admission in the first, second, or third rounds of all-India quota or state quota counselling and have not been allotted a seat in the third round are eligible for the fourth round.
