BENGALURU: Seven nursing colleges in the state will be disaffiliated from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences(RGUHS) from 2019-20 due to their alleged involvement in the certificate scam.
“The disaffiliated colleges are Bethel Medical Institute of Nursing Sciences, Hosmat College of Nursing, Pan Asia College of Nursing, Bethel College of Physiotherapy, Hosmat College of Physiotherapy, Hosmat Hospital and Educational Institution and Gayathridevi College of Nursing, all located in Bengaluru. These institutions are run by a single management and are facing allegations of involvement in the certificate scam. The disaffiliation will remain in place till the colleges come clean,” said Dr S Sacchidanand, vice-chancellor, RGUHS.
The move will reduce nursing seats by about 350 in 2019-20. “These seven institutions will be disaffiliated soon and a notice will be sent to them. We will issue a public notice shortly to bring about awareness among students not to seek admission in these colleges,” said Dr Sacchidanand.
RGHUS said the colleges had been told not to admit students during 2018-19 but they went ahead and enrolled 350 students. “We will see if there are any provisions to accommodate over 1,000 students currently on the rolls of these institutions in other colleges,” said another senior university official.
Sunny D, chairman, Bethel Medical Mission (BMM), which runs the seven institutions, said the university has not sent them any notice. “The varsity has to call for verification before taking up the disaffiliation. The case is being investigated by the CID,” said Sunny. He denied any affiliation with Gayathridevi Nursing College, though as per the records, it’s run by BMM.
