how many free seats for MBBS are available for general category students

Hi

There's nothing like free seats for mbbs. There might be fee reimbursement schemes but for that general category students are not eligible .

It's just that fee in government medical college is extremely low.

So, as the seat is not free what you can do is pursue mbbs from a government college as it's very affordable by scoring well in neet examination.

If I tell you about total mbbs course fee then it completely depends upon the college one joins, as fee depends upon factors like :-

• ********* whether the college is government or private

---------------------------) The total mbbs fee  can be also low as around 6.88 k in Aiims Delhi ( central government) to as high as 1 crore in Private medical colleges.

For example,

Total mbbs fee in SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai is around 1.02 crores.

------------------------) While in state government colleges,

The total fee varies anywhere around  50k to 5 lakh .

For example,

The total mbbs fee in ESIC Medical College, Faridabad is around Rs 5,50,000. While total mbbs fee is around Rs 47,550 in Patna Medical College, Patna
