What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Original manifesto wording

Our Assessment
MahaDBT accepts fee-reimbursement applications, and the 2025–26 government medical-college fee chart applies category-based concessions. Benefits vary by course, category and gender. Payment of tuition and examination fees to all eligible students across the promised groups remains unverified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Operational reimbursement schemes and current fee concessions establish partial delivery. Published entitlements and an application window do not demonstrate payment to every eligible OBC, SEBC, EWS, NT and VJNT student.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
MahaDBT scheme pages and DMER's 2025–26 fee chart are primary evidence. Some schemes predate the election; they establish continuing provision rather than a newly created universal entitlement. Complete category-wise payment and arrears records were not verified.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Dated category-wise eligible applications, sanctioned and paid tuition/examination reimbursements, pending claims and applicable course/gender rules.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
