Private medical, dental, nursing, physiotherapy, and paramedical colleges in Haryana are now under scrutiny. The Haryana Directorate of Medical Education and Research has issued a directive mandating strict adherence to government-approved fee structures for all courses and academic sessions.
Institutions are explicitly forbidden from charging students any fees beyond the authorized amounts. This prohibition covers all forms of charges, regardless of how they are named or collected.
