BENGALURU: Krishna Rukhmini Nursing College in HRBR Layout, Kalyan Nagar, whose students scored abnormally high marks, is under the scanner.
When its BSc (Nursing) results were out, the university authorities were astonished to find that all students had secured distinction. The issue came up at the Syndicate and Senate meetings of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), which then decided to conduct an inquiry.
A committee comprising Dr Madhumati, Dean of Nursing, and Dr Kasturi, both of RGUHS, was formed, and has submitted its report to the university. According to information available with Express, the inquiry has brought to light many exam irregularities at the college.
The committee has now recommended withdrawal of results. Its report says the students were handed a 32-page answer booklet instead of the regular 52-page one, but still managed to secure distinction. “This is a major finding in the report,” a university source said.
The committee has recommended a detailed inquiry after it found evidence of cheating. “During the convocation, all students were awarded distinction. We raised the issue at a Senate meeting, and the university looked into it,” a member said.
About 70 students had appeared for BSc in nursing from the college. Dr Sachidanand, Registrar (Evaluation), RGUHS, said, “We have received the report, but to take action we will place it before the Syndicate.”
Syndicate Meeting on June 26 S Sumati, principal of the college, said, “We have not received any communication from the university so far. But, when the committee visited we provided all the information they asked. the students have secured distinction because they studied well. While admitting itself, we choose students based on the high percentage.”
