It’s important to note that the tuition and examination fees for all public sector medical and dental colleges, nursing, and allied health sciences institutes under Khyber Medical University have remained unchanged for several years.
However, due to rising staff compensation, transportation, paper, and printing costs, an increase of ten percent was recently approved by university councils to cover examination expenses. This decision had received the necessary approvals from relevant committees and forums. Still, in consideration of the greater interests of parents and students, the Governor has ordered the withdrawal of this ten percent increase.
