But private medical schools vary widely in price. Among ranked private schools in the 2018 Best Medical Schools research and primary care rankings, the cost of tuition and fees for the 2016-2017 school year ranges from $32,663 per year at Baylor College of Medicine to $63,890 per year at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

      Provincial minister for Higher Education Commission, Syed Raza Gillani, has announced that distribution of laptops among university students will start from 13th March. A total of 115,000 laptops will be awarded to deserving students from public sector universities. This announcement was made during a departmental meeting at Civil Secretariat on 8th March. Secretary Higher Education Department Naseem Nawaz and representatives of private universities and Punjab Higher Education Commission attended the meeting. Share of public and private universities According to Prime Minister’s Laptop scheme, only public sector university students were eligible to enroll in the program. This meant that around 110,000 laptops were to be distributed to deserving students enrolled in public universities. However, Punjab government has decided to award additional 5,000 laptops to students from private universities. Talking about this change in policy, Raza Gillani said that provision of laptops to private universities is another ‘first’ of Punjab government. He further added that this would help the students to improve their access to the latest knowledge-trends. Schedule of distribution Distribution of these laptops will start from 13th March. Public sector universities will be the first to get these laptops, with private sector universities coming later down the road.

        177 Private Colleges Fail Education Dept.'s Financial-Responsibility Test "According to a Chronicle analysis of data released on Tuesday, 177 private colleges that grant degrees failed a U.S. Education Department test for financial responsibility in the 2014-15 academic year. That's 18 more than the previous year," according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. "Of the institutions that failed, 112 are nonprofit, and the remaining 65 are for-profit. In the previous year, 93 of the 159 failing institutions were nonprofit. The department considers an institution’s debt and assets, among other factors, in giving it a score ranging from -1 to 3. Scores lower than 1.5 are considered failing. The department’s methodology in devising the scores has drawn sharp criticism in the past from some higher-education groups. The latest scores cover the institutions for fiscal years ending between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015. Several of the colleges have closed since the 2014-15 academic year. Some, like Dowling College, in Oakdale, N.Y., previously failed the financial-responsibility test, while others, like Saint Joseph’s College, in Rensselaer, Ind., passed it."
