Copies, textbook found in NBMCH toilet raises eyebrows

Statesman News Service | Siliguri | January 30, 2018 5:43 am

As a team of the Medical Council of India (MCI) visited the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH) to inspect the infrastructure for the MBBS course, and as some exams for MBBS students are ongoing there, some photocopies of notes and textbooks were found in the men’s toilet near the examination hall.

The find has led to suspicions that the copies may have been kept there by the students for adopting unfair means during the Third Prof Examination (Part 11) that is underway. Professor of the department of general medicine of Smt NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Dr Jayesh Dutt, and professor and head of the department obstetrics and gynecology, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, Bipin M Nayak made the one-day inspection to review the process of conducting the MBBS examination, evaluate the performance in the examinations in the past three years, timing of the examinations, faculty strength, and whether MCI guidelines are being followed during examinations.

NBMCH officials said the purpose of the visit was to look into the infrastructure for the 150 MBBS seats for the academic session 2018-2019. The MCI slashed 50 of the 150 MBBS seats at the NBMCH in the last academic session (2017-18), citing inadequate infrastructure.

Meanwhile, 102 aspiring doctors appeared in the examinations for medicine and gynaecology on Monday. However, surprisingly, bunches of photocopies and pages of textbooks were found stashed in the men’s toilet on Monday.

NBMCH sources, however, said the matter did not come to the notice of the MCI team, which, however, raised questions on the lack of CCTV cameras in the examination halls. NBMCH authorities, meanwhile, seemed to downplay the find in the toilet. “We keep a strong vigil of the exam halls.

Someone may have kept those things in the toilets after failing to carry them to the examination hall,” said assistant dean of the students’ affairs of the NBMCH, Dr Sandip Sengupta. Dr Sengupta said CCTV cameras would be installed in the halls soon and that they were also planning to set up a mobile jammer.

Can’t deny medal to topper, HC tells varsity

The Delhi High Court has held that sitting for an examination by a student in the successive academic year owing to illness or other similar circumstances in the previous year will still be considered the “first attempt”.

The order came as a relief to a BA LLB student at Amity Law School who despite scoring highest marks in his batch was denied a gold medal on the ground that he had taken the examination in respect of two papers in the following year.

Justice Indermeet Kaur observed that the university could not deprive the student of the award citing that examinations taken by the student in 2014 shall be regarded as his “first attempt”.

The student was enrolled in the five-year course of BA LLB in 2010. For his 6th semester examination, out of five papers, he could not appear in two papers, the paper of Code of Civil Procedure and the paper of Code of Criminal Procedure. These two examinations were scheduled for May, 2013.

He could not appear in the examinations as he was suffering from chicken pox. He wrote his examination in the two papers in 2014. He graduated from the university with the highest score/cumulative performance index (CPI) for the course.

In February 2016, he learned that he was not being considered for the gold medal despite having scored the highest in the course. The university had contended that under the governing ordinance, any student who fails to appear in examinations at the first time and thereafter appears in the said examinations on a subsequent date would qualify as a “second attempt” on his part.

But the court relied on the judgments of various High Courts and the Supreme Court to arrive at the conclusion that examinations taken by the student in 2014 shall be regarded as his “first attempt” and directed the university to confer the gold medal on him.

AHMEDABAD/RAJKOT: Dr Rachit Agrawal, a MBBS student from Rajkot, has emerged the top ranker in the all-India PG NEET examination, for admission to postgraduate medical courses, having scored 975 out of 1,200 marks.

"I have scored 975 marks, which according to the National Board of Examinations, is the top score among the PG NEET exam results declared recently. I have topped the exam," said Rachit, who is doing his internship as part of the MBBS undergraduate programme at Rajkot Civil Hospital.

Rachit says he started preparations for PG-NEET about four years ago, along with the MBBS studies, as he knew that he will have to put in extra efforts to ensure a good rank and thus a chance at the postgraduate course of his choice. However, in the recent past, he upped his game by studying five hours a day for PG NEET entrance test along with his 10-hour daily shift on his internship. He hiking his hours of study to between eight and nine.

The study and internship schedule was gruelling, but in the end it was worth it. I never aimed for a rank but knew I would score well. Being the top ranker is a good feeling," said Rachit.

Rachit's father is an ophthalmologist practising in Rajkot while his brother is a radiologist. "I will either pursue medicine or radiology. I am yet to decide on which college I will chose to pursue my masters from as well," said Rachit, who says wildlife and travelling as his two passions.

Rachit scored 95.1% in HSC (science) and chose to pursue his MBBS from Rajkot Medical College at his family's insistence.

Rachit says that contrary to general perception, NEET is not a very difficult exam if you train your aim on cracking it right from the beginning. "It needs consistent and diligent effort," says Dr Rachit.

In all, 1.28 lakh students took the PG NEET exam, of which 64,000 could not clear the test.

Corrupt officials corrupt everything, Madras high court says
L Saravanan | TNN | Jan 30, 2018, 19:26 IST

 

MADURAI: What people could expect from those who got government jobs by giving bribes to politicians and officials, asked Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Tuesday. "Politicians will remain in power for five years, and they will go. But officials are not like politicians. Corrupt officials corrupt everything," the court said while hearing a suo motu public interest litigation (PIL) on a scam in the selection process for government jobs in Tamil Nadu. 

The division bench of Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice R Tharani took the suo moto PIL based on an article that appeared in the Times of India on January 27. The article said scams happened as the selection process had been outsourced. It also described the modus operandi of scamsters.

  Justice N Kirubakaran said, "We were shocked after reading the article which highlighted scams in the recruitment of teachers, lectures and others by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission and the Teachers Recruitment Board."

The judge said, "A corrupt practice has been committed. Posts have been purchased by a group of people by giving bribe of Rs 25 lakh. We want to know whether the TRB and the TNPSC have involved in the scam. How long have you (government) outsourced the selection process? It doesn't know whether such worst thing had happened in previous recruitment. It is a serious issue. A thorough enquiry is required in the present case. Why don't you entrust the investigation to a special investigation wing or the CBI?"

Special government pleader V R Shanmuganathan said the TRB had no nexus in the scam. He said the TRB had lodged a complaint with the crime branch (Chennai) which in turn registered an FIR on December 27 last. Besides, the TRB had uploaded all coding sheets on its website.

Senior counsel Shyam Divan for the petitioners submitted that Aadhaar programme was akin to 'digital dictatorship'.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday observed that there was nothing wrong in the insistence of Aadhaar for availing social security benefits as long as the data was used for this purpose.
A five-judge Constitution Bench comprising the Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AK Sikri, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan made the observation during the course of hearing of a batch of petitions challenging the validity of Aadhaar programme.

Senior counsel Shyam Divan for the petitioners submitted that Aadhaar programme was akin to “digital dictatorship” as authentication of biometric data was a pre-condition for extending benefits which has resulted in “exclusion’ of many beneficiaries whose data did not match.

When he said Aadhaar has now been made mandatory for over 140 schemes, Justice Chandrachud said “this is the perfect aspect of Aadhaar and even the World Bank has said that the Aadhaar system was quite effective in India though there might be some aberrations here and there."

“Let us not be carried away by surveillance. We need to see which are the areas of concern,” the judge added.     
Divan reiterated that Aadhaar enrolment has been done without adequate verification and in many instances, the Centre itself has stated that the enrolment has been over 110 per cent of the recorded population in many states.

People are denied access to basic needs such as food and adequate nutrition, mid-day meals in school, and rehabilitation benefits due to the rescued bonded labourers.

He further added that there are no safeguards or penalties for obtaining personal information and said that the biometric data and iris scan that was being collected for the issuance of Aadhaar card violated the fundamental right to privacy of the citizens. 
He also said personal data was not protected, and was vulnerable to exposure and misuse. When it comes to protection of fundamental rights, there is no question of voluntariness. 

The hearing will continue on February 1.
