Hello Aspirant,

You can cancel admission from a private medical college if you get into a government one.

1. Check College Policy: First, carefully read the private college's admission brochure and policies regarding refunds and withdrawals . Many have specific deadlines and may deduct a processing fee or security deposit.

2. Act Quickly: The earlier you withdraw, the better your chances of a significant refund.

3. Formal Withdrawal: Submit a formal written application to the private college stating your intent to withdraw, mentioning your selection in a government college. Keep a copy.

4. National Medical Commission (NMC) Guidelines: The NMC (formerly MCI) usually has rules that support students withdrawing to join a government seat, often preventing private colleges from holding onto original documents or demanding the full course fee, especially if the seat can be filled by another candidate.

5. Contact Authorities: If the private college denies cancellation or demands excessive fees, immediately contact the counseling authority (e.g., MCC for All India Quota, or your State Counselling Authority) and the NMC with a complaint. They can intervene.

Good afternoon, to cancel your private medical college admission after being selected in a government medical college, and avoid paying the entire course fee, here’s what you need to know:

1. Check the Resignation Deadline

Most private colleges allow students to resign before the mop-up round or final admission deadline.

If you resign before the cutoff date, you may only lose a small processing fee (e.g., 1500), not the full course fee.

2. Submit a Formal Resignation Letter

Write to the college administration stating your intent to withdraw due to selection in a government medical college.

Attach proof of your government seat allotment (e.g., allotment letter from MCC or state counselling).

3. Avoid Joining or Reporting

If you haven’t physically joined or submitted original documents, cancellation is easier.

If you’ve already joined, you may need to follow the college’s withdrawal policy.

4. Refer to NMC Guidelines

As per National Medical Commission (NMC) rules, capitation fees are prohibited, and colleges must follow transparent fee structures.

If the college demands full fee despite early resignation, you can file a grievance with the NMC or state counselling authority.

Important Notes

Always keep copies of all communication and receipts.

If the college refuses to refund or insists on full fee, you can escalate to:

State Medical Counselling Authority

NMC grievance portal

Consumer court, if needed
