Yes, private Medical colleges with lower tuition fees are rare to find as generally private colleges have higher tuition fees. Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, is the only private MBBS college in India that has fees comparable to some government colleges but is run by a private, charitable trust. For most other private colleges, “low fees” usually refers to state-quota seats, which are reserved for students from that specific state and have a lower, government-regulated fee.
