MBBS students are getting poor salary packages even after passing out from the top medical colleges where they ended up paying over Rs. 1 crore for the five-year medical course.
MBBS students who are passing out of deemed medical institutes are getting salary packages of less than Rs.50,000 per month even after spending more than Rs.1 crore for the five-year MBBS. The salary they are getting is post completion of their course when they join hospitals to start practicing.
The figures were taken from the data which was submitted by some of the most 'expensive private medical colleges' to the HRD Ministry's National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) for ranking. As per the data, except for two deemed medical colleges which feature among the top 25 medical colleges, the average salary package offered to MBBS graduates from other private medical colleges was less than Rs, 6,00,000 per year.

The deemed medical colleges which are among the top 25 as per the NIRF rankings are DY Patil Medical College, Pune, SRM Medical College, Kanchipuram, Shri Ramchandra Medical College, Chennai, Saveetha Medical College, Chennai and Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Puducherry. Though the latest NIRF ranking of these colleges was issued in April last year, the data submitted by these institutes would have been earlier than that.
According to a teacher at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, the poor salary packages offered to the doctors from the private medical colleges highlight the difference in the quality of medical education of these colleges and most government medical colleges.
