Hi,

If doctors want to take up higher studies, then they must submit a bond for Rs 30 lakh to Rs 50 lakh, stating their willingness to serve later. Karnataka is the only state where private, management and NRI quota candidates are required to do the mandatory rural service.

The law requires every new MBBS graduate to serve for a year in government primary health centres or government hospitals in rural areas.

Accordingly, the panel recommended that the bond period for MBBS candidates should not exceed one year, and the bond value should not be over 10 lakh for those admitted under the all-India quota (AIQ).

Hope this helps

Wish you luck
