The Punjab Private Health Sciences Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission, Fixation of Fee and Making of Reservation) Act, 2006
The Punjab Private Health Sciences Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission, Fixation of Fee and Making of Reservation) Act, 2006, is a legislative framework designed to bring transparency and fairness to private medical and dental education in Punjab. It empowers the State Government to regulate admission processes, fix fee structures, and mandate reservations for socially and educationally backward classes. By requiring merit-based admissions through common entrance tests and preventing arbitrary fee hikes, the Act protects students from exploitation. It applies to all private health sciences institutions, ensuring that education remains accessible and equitable, rather than a profit-driven enterprise.
