01The Problem

The Fee Confusion
Problem

One of the biggest problems during MBBS Admission Counselling is that students and parents often rely on old, incomplete, or unverified Fee Data from social media, random websites, and forwarded PDF's.

This creates confusion around:

  • Tuition fees
  • Hostel charges
  • Security deposits
  • Hidden yearly costs
  • Full 5.5-year payment commitment

Without fee clarity, families may make the wrong college decision and face financial stress, compliance issues, or even Seat Cancellation risks later. MBBS Lighthouse combines 4+ years of data expertise with an Authentic, Updated Fee Database, helping you make Safe and Informed Admission Decisions.

02The Financial Reality

MBBS is not just a seat; it's a
Long-term Financial Commitment.

MBBS is a professional course where discontinuation is generally not allowed after admission. Once a seat is secured through NEET counselling, students are expected to pay fees for the entire course duration.

Understanding the fee structure and payment commitments is essential to avoid cancellation, financial stress, and compliance issues.
