Considering the change in the counselling process conducted by MCC, the competent authority of NBEMS has decided not to collect the 1st-year course fee in NBEMS accounts during the counselling process.

The concerned NBEMS-accredited institutes will not collect the 1st-year course fee if the candidate has chosen the FLOAT (UPGRADE) option during the counselling process
