Admission costs for students starting in the 2025–2026 academic year at Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions will be lowered by 50%, according to a Ministry of Health announcement.

The government’s new “No-Fee-Stress” policy, which includes the intervention, attempts to lessen the financial strain on college students nationwide. About half of the authorized fees for all first-year trainees in health-related institutions will be covered by the state under the plan.

All training institutions must fully follow the established fee structure, according to the order, which also warns that no institution may demand payment for goods already covered by the policy or charge more than the maximum amount.

Any principal who violates the regulation or imposes unauthorized charges would do so “at his or her own peril,” the Ministry further warned.

It further stated that the action is a component of national initiatives to safeguard students’ welfare and advance fair access to health education.

In order to admit students under the updated fee schedule for the next academic year, heads of health training institutions have been instructed to start the required procedures.
