Punjab MBBS Bond Policy Requires Rs 20 Lakh Property Sureties Faces Backlash

Punjab’s new MBBS bond policy, requiring government medical college MBBS students to pledge two properties worth Rs 20 lakh as sureties, has drawn criticism.

The move has sparked widespread backlash from parents, students, the Resident Doctors Association, and IMA Punjab, who call the rule “regressive and punitive,” arguing it places an unfair burden on middle- and lower-income families and could deter meritorious students. Parents have suggested alternatives such as bank guarantees or withholding permanent registration.
