Historic Crackdown on DY Patil Medical College

In a landmark ruling, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has imposed a ₹10 lakh penalty and forced the infamous Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College, Pune, to refund nearly ₹75 crore in excess MBBS fees. This unprecedented regulatory action follows the relentless crusade of Dr. Divyansh Dwivedi, a former surgery resident who exposed years of malpractice.
The Sprouts News Special Investigation Team (SIT) has accessed official documents confirming the fine was linked to deficiencies in the annual renewal of undergraduate seats. The case has shaken India’s medical education establishment and sent a clear message: financial exploitation will no longer go unchecked.

Official NMC Papers Confirm Deficiencies

According to NMC Letter No. U015(29)/13/2025-UGMEB-NMC, multiple irregularities were uncovered during the seat renewal process. Inspectors flagged serious lapses in:
•Authenticity of annual declaration data
•Biometric attendance compliance (AEBAS)
•Responses to show-cause notices
•Performance in UGMEB hearings
•Transparency of financial records (Form-16/26AS)
The report described the college as “grossly deficient”, forcing the NMC to impose both a financial penalty and a conditional renewal of 250 MBBS seats.

Conditional Renewal and Risk of Disaffiliation

As per Order No. Renewal/UGMEB/2023-24/165, the institution was given conditional approval with strict compliance deadlines. The ₹10 lakh penalty must be deposited within seven days in NMC’s Canara Bank account.
The college now faces a two-month reassessment, with the threat of disaffiliation under MSMER-2023, Chapter III, Clause 8 if deficiencies are not rectified. This marks a major tightening of regulatory oversight on private medical institutions.

₹75 Crore Refund Ordered and Executed

In a parallel directive, NMC Letter U015(29)/30/2025-UGMEB-NMC mandated the immediate refund of excess fees collected for the illegal fifth MBBS year.
An RTI appeal (U-15026/251/2025-UGMEB) confirmed compliance:
“It is seen that action regarding refund of excess fees has been taken by the college authority.”
The refunded amount—nearly ₹75 crore—marks one of the largest forced restitutions in Indian medical education history.

The Crusade of Dr. Divyansh Dwivedi

At the heart of this regulatory storm is Dr. Divyansh Dwivedi, a young doctor whose relentless fight exposed malpractice in one of the private institutions. Through grievances, RTI petitions, and direct appeals, he compelled the NMC to act against entrenched financial irregularities.
His battle not only resulted in refunds but also established a legal precedent empowering medical students nationwide to challenge exploitation.

Sprouts SIT: Journalism as a Pillar of Justice

The Sprouts News Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been pivotal in bringing this scandal to light. By linking student grievances to accreditation penalties, and financial malpractice to direct refunds, Sprouts SIT ensured accountability where political clout once silenced scrutiny.
This case illustrates how authentic investigative journalism can act as a parallel pillar of justice, forcing transparency through RTI and regulatory pressure.

Breaking the Nexus of Collusion

For years, the DY Patil empire was shielded by political connections and bureaucratic collusion. The latest crackdown has broken that web of influence. By exposing malpractice and compelling restitution, this case proves that no institution, however powerful, is beyond the reach of regulatory justice.
With Sprouts SIT’s revelations now under public glare, the precedent has been set: exploitative practices in medical education will face both financial and reputational consequences.

Key Takeaway:

The NMC’s penalty and ₹75 crore refund against DY Patil Medical College mark a historic victory for medical students and a milestone in Indian regulatory enforcement.
