We must mail to Education Minister regarding the issue.
Everyone has an equal right to contest a fair examination and secure a medical scholarship seat based purely on merit.
Let us be realistic: 45 to 50 Lakhs is not a small amount for anyone in Nepal. When a medical education costs that much, practically everyone qualifies as financially needy. Who are we defining as "needy" under these circumstances?
Consider students who have studied in private schools, where they all received a comparable level of education up to the +2 level. If one student secures high marks through relentless hard work while another gets lower marks, are you willing to completely compromise the years of effort, sacrifices, and late nights made by the high-scoring student just because the lower-scoring student claims financial need?
Is it fair to compel a deserving, higher-scoring student to pay 45 to 50 Lakhs out of pocket simply because of a flawed policy, while practically handing over a fully-funded medical seat to someone who scored lower? Merit cannot and should not be traded away.
Furthermore, if the government defines "needy" students as those who studied in government or community schools, let us not forget that they are already being accommodated through the existing quota system, isn't it?
Therefore, you must ensure that open-category medical scholarship seats are not reduced or compromised. Securing these seats provides immense relief to medical students who spend their peak years entirely focused on rigorous studies, earning nothing while peers outside the medical field begin building their careers and incomes at the exact same age. Share this as much as you can.
