It is criminal to have 50 lakhs seat leaving / bond penalty . What’s the GDP per capita of India ? Do they think MD/MS students earn in crores ?
Its high time the govt/NMC should think about removing BOND or seat leaving penality for students
Yes, it could increase seat blocking—but it isn’t inevitable.
If a candidate can accept a seat, hold it through counselling rounds, and then leave at no cost, some may do so while waiting for a better option. That can delay seats reaching other candidates.
But a harsh penalty can also trap someone who genuinely needs to withdraw.
The answer is not to keep an extreme penalty at any cost. Use clear exit deadlines, fast seat reallocation, transparent counselling rounds, and a reasonable, capped charge only for late withdrawals that disrupt the process. That protects both candidates and the counselling system.
