Sangareddy: Group-II candidates on Sunday questioned the MNR Medical College management for collecting Rs.50 to Rs.100 from each of them to keep their mobile phones, bags and other belongings in the cloakroom. The candidates had refused to pay any amount when the management refused to keep their belongings with them safely. The candidates said the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TGPSC) had allotted 1,183 students to MNR Medical College. They alleged that the college management was collecting more than Rs.2 lakh per examination since they are charging at least Rs.100 per student.

After coming to know about the incident, Additional Collector Chandrashekhar visited the examination centre and directed the college management not to collect any charges from the candidates. He further directed them to return the collected amount to the candidates. The Additional Collector reminded the management that it was the responsibility of the management to safely keep the belongings of the candidates.
