Dubai, UAE, September 3, 2017:  50 students with very high NEET ranks breathed a sigh of relief yesterday night when they secured admission to coveted MBBS course at the DM WIMS Medical College, Wayanadu at annual fee of Rs 5 lakhs. The KEAM ranks of the 50 eligible students allotted by the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations are between 1998 and 4889. 

Dr Moopen’s Foundation had announced that these 50 students need not provide bank guarantee and can study at the Annual Fees of Rs 5 lakhs for a period of 5 years, irrespective of the fee being fixed later by authorities. This concession is being funded by the Foundation which shall have an impact of up to Rs 3 crores per annum and Rs 15 Crores over 5 years ,  if the fee of 11 lakhs is fixed later by the Fee Regulatory committee and the Honorable Courts

“We are very happy that we could make the  life's dream of 50 meritorious students of becoming doctors fulfilled through  this . I was saddened seeing the tears in the eyes of the students and their parents who were earlier denied admission and wanted to help .   The decision by the Hon High court of Kerala to allow admission mitigating the hardships meted  out by the MCI against us came at the right time.  The request by the Hon Chief Minister Sri Pinarayi Vijayan and the Health Minister Smt Shylaja Teacher also promoted this, in spite of the fact that this newly established college is running at huge loss in the last 5 years ” said Dr Azad Moopen, Chairman of Dr Moopens Foundation. 

 “ Most  of the students  who had  selected options in the first rounds   of allotment were unable  to  join the course when the fee was raised to Rs 11 lakhs by Hon Supreme Court with  bank guarantee of  6 lakhs. We found them rushing to our counter with their happy parents  to avail the concession and seats were filled within few hours. The  list of the 50 selected students is attached”  said Anoop Moopen , Trustee of the Foundation
