Presently there are ~550 medical colleges in India producing ~70,000 MBBS doctors every year.
Half of these colleges are government colleges. They charge 0-1,50,000 as fees per yr. (depends on category/caste).
Pvt medical colleges charge 7,50,000 to 18,00,000 per year.

Except bribes, cost of setting up a medical college is -
1. Land and infrastructure
2. Teaching staff salaries
3. Non teaching staff salaries
4. Expense of running a free hospital
5. Running costs
All these are substantial costs and are mandatory per law.
