As medical aspirants await the result of the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET), private medical colleges are in the process of declaring their exhaustive admission processes, which involve a separate bout of application fees that range from anywhere between Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000.

Furious parents have taken to Twitter and started the hashtag #NEET, to protest the same. They are tagging authorities from the field of medical education to ask them, ‘where is the transparency if deemed universities are free to charge application fees again?’ While the private medical colleges are declaring fees for admissions, parents are questioning the point of having a common entrance test for all medical admissions, when they eventually have to pay another application fee.
