Lodge plaint on impersonation: DME to college
18/09/2019, SERENA JOSEPHINE M.,CHENNAI
The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has directed the Government Theni Medical College to lodge a police complaint on a case of alleged impersonation involving a first-year MBBS student of the institution. Simultaneously, the college should conduct a high-level inquiry into the case, the DME said.
Last week, the dean of the Government Theni Medical College received an anonymous letter stating that a first-year MBBS student had gained admission through impersonation. College authorities found that the photograph submitted to the college office at the time of admission did not match with the student.
Official sources said the college authorities conducted an inquiry with the student. “A youth from Mumbai had reportedly impersonated the student during the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). After gaining admission to Theni Medical College, the same person came to the college office and submitted the documents that carried his photograph. The photographs are not cross-checked at the time of students joining classes, and they give only an admission slip. Only on checking the photograph did we come to know that a different student had joined the MBBS course,” an official source said.
The authorities also found that the student had made previous attempts to clear NEET. A senior college authority said: “We have a doubt on a student. So, we have referred the case to the Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education, and are waiting for their reply.”
The DME has asked the college dean to proceed with legal action to ascertain the facts.
