Fee Hike Alert: Bihar Private Medical Colleges (2025–26)

In 2025, private MBBS colleges in Bihar have revised their annual fees upward, with costs now ranging from approximately ₹10 lakh to ₹16 lakh per year, depending on the institution and quota.

Updated Annual Tuition Fees for 2025–26

That means over a typical 5.5‑year MBBS program, the total cost can now run between ₹55 lakh and ₹90 lakh or more, depending on the college and additional charges (mess, hostel, amenities)

Why the Fee Surge?

Regulatory shifts: Since private colleges must align with NMC guidelines and BUHS affiliation, many institutions justified the hike citing infrastructure upgrades and enhanced academic facilities.

Escalating statutory fees: Mandatory charges such as security deposits, hostel and mess charges, and “development” or amenities fees are rising year over year.

Overall inflation and growing demand for private seats have contributed as well.
