Seven student organizations have staged a protest against Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) for demanding high fees from medical education students.

Nevisangha, Akhil Krantikari, Aneraswavu, Samajwadi Vidyarthi Union, Akhil Krantikari and Akhil Chaitta are affiliated to the movement. These student organizations had drawn the attention of the Home Minister on Tuesday demanding immediate arrest and action against the directors of Nobel and Kathmandu Medical College.

Nobel and KMC have even barred 2021 batch students from studying by charging extra fees at MBBS, BDS and higher hostel fees for charging higher fees than prescribed by the Medical Education Commission.
