As per the structure, non-minority medical colleges provide 40% of their seats (Category A) for Rs 60,000 and 10% seats (Category B) for Rs 2.4 lakh. The remaining seats are 'sold' as management quota seats which officially cost Rs 5.5 lakh per seat.

Colleges are known to quote anywhere between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore, as mentioned in the reports. 60% seats are being filled (for Rs 60,000 each) on merit basis while the remaining 40% are treated as management quota seats in case of minority institutions. Managements of private colleges have stated that since EAMCET notification has arrived on Tuesday, the government should take a call before the election notification.
