Primary answer

Government medical colleges are funded and operated by central or state governments and typically offer medical education at significantly lower tuition fees. Admissions to these colleges are highly competitive because the fees are affordable and the infrastructure is often well established. Private medical colleges, on the other hand, are managed by private institutions or trusts. While admissions to these colleges are also based on NEET UG scores, their tuition fees are usually much higher compared to government institutions. Private colleges may offer seats under management quota or NRI quota in addition to regular merit-based seats, depending on state regulations.
