JABALPUR: ‘A student who was not even registered in the university has appeared in the examination and passed the examination’, a high level committee constituted by government on the orders of high court to probe into complaints of anomalies in Madhya Pradesh medical sciences university noted in its report.

While hearing a petition against the alleged marksheet scam at the Madhya Pradesh medical sciences university—all the medical colleges both private and government are affiliated to this— Madhya Pradesh high court had ordered on October 4, 2021 that a high level probe committee should be constituted to investigate the allegations. In compliance with the orders of the high court, the state government constituted a committee headed by retired justice of high court KK Trivedi. The committee had submitted its report on June 16, 2022 before high court.

On the issue of students who were not even enrolled but appeared and even passed examinations, the committee had noted in its report, “all three i.e., college, university and IT agency have acted hand in gloves in this mischief. It is unbelievable that in the garb of making correction in the application form for taking part in examination altogether complete changes are made and a person who was not even a student in the college and never shown as admitted and enrolled in the university is permitted to take part in the final examination and go with a degree in his/her hand.

Sensing that there may be more cases of such nature, query was made from the agency engaged for the purpose of printing marksheets. Said agency namely GS Software after random check of various courses further disclosed that there were certain more cases of issuance of marksheets in the name of other candidates whereas enrolment number reflects the different name”. The committee further noted, ‘This sort of acting is nothing but a fraud with the whole system and in fact there is an apprehension that there may be more persons roaming with the forged degree obtained from the university in various subjects in the field of medical science which needs verification’. When the committee inquired whether any action was initiated in respect of this type of forgery, the university replied that since the matter has come to the notice through this committee it will be looked into.

The committee was also told that there were around 278 candidates where names in enrollment were different and the candidates who appeared and got marksheets had different names. On allegations of passing failed candidates in revaluation and special revaluation, the committee randomly checked the cases of 13 such NRI candidates, “it was noticed that most of the students have been passed in after resorting to the method of ‘revaluation’ and if not successful in passing the student then again resorting to ‘special revaluation.”
