Impersonation fallout: drive on to verify documents of MBBS students Theni medico case may go to CB-CID
Madurai Medical College scrutinises papers of 210 candidates


22/09/2019, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Following two instances of students submitting fake documents to secure admission to Madurai Medical College and Theni Medical College, Dean of MMC K. Vanitha said that they had stepped up the verification process.

On Friday, the MMC verified a total of 210 documents of students, including admit cards issued by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), selection cards issued by their National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), Class 10 and 12 marksheets and the physical verification of the candidate.

“Since the college is closed today (Saturday), we will be continuing verification for the other 40 on Monday. A total of four professors and two personnel from the administration are taking charge of the process,” she said.

The Dean said that she had raised an alarm when a student from Andhra Pradesh arrived at the MMC on September 10, a month after admissions ended, with an allotment order.

Dr. Vanitha said she first approached Mathichiyam police station for lodging a complaint, but was redirected to Tallakulam police station.

“We were able to file a complaint about a student,” she said.

She added that the college administration had been vigilant about fake documents and now are stepping up the process of scrutiny.

Officials at the Government Medical College and Hospital, Pudukottai, conducted document verification of all first-year students in the college on Friday.

The Selection Committee of the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has instructed all medical colleges to verify records of first-year MBBS students.

The impersonation case against a first year student of the Theni Government Medical College may be transferred to the CB-CID police for investigation. Reliable police sources said that the DIG of Police, Dindigul Range, Joshi Nirmal Kumar, is likely to recommend the case to the CB-CID police.

Two days ago, the Theni police had booked a case against Udit Surya K.V., accused of impersonation in the NEET examination. While the student has been absconding for four days, the police have formed special teams. One team visited Chennai, where the parents of the student reside.
