Speculation was rife about the credibility of the candidature of one particular student, after the Dharmapuri Government Medical College completed the verification of the bona fides of all but one student, admitted through NEET this year.
However, the verification committee, which was convened last week in the wake of the NEET impersonation scam, has decided to wait for the student concerned — who is reported to have gone on a long leave on medical grounds — to report to the college and produce himself before the committee on Monday.
A total of 100 students were admitted to the MBBS course at the Dharmapuri Government Medical College this year. However, only 99 students were cleared by the committee. The remaining one student has been absent since September 8.
The Vice Principal of the Dharmapuri Medical College, G. Murugan, who is also the head of the verification committee, said the student in question had vacated the hostel on September 7 and submitted a letter to the hostel authorities, stating that he was going home for a surgery for appendicitis.
However, the letter from the DME was received on September 20, and the vetting process began the same day.
The student was already on medical leave at the time. So, the committee had sent a letter by registered post to the student’s address, but there has been no response so far. According to Dr. Murugan, the committee is hoping that the student will turn up for verification on Monday, the 30th of September.
