The new batch of MBBS students at Biratnagar-based Nobel Medical College have been prohibited to attend classes after they denied paying the extra fess demanded by the college.
The Nobel Medical College (NMC) has been demanding an extra amount of Rs. 1 million from the students going beyond the fee ceiling set by the government.
The classes of the first year MBBS students was scheduled to start from December 5 but the demand for extra fees has upset the schedule.
The students have already deposited Rs. 1,478,675 in the account of Kathmandu University as the first instalment under the rule set by the government as per the National Medical Education Act.
However, the college is demanding more money under the heading of university affiliation fee and hostel fee.
