Students not at fault for exam delay: MP HC on medicos plea

TNN | Jan 26, 2023, 10.48 AM IST

BHOPAL/JABALPUR: Holding that students are not responsible for delay in organising exam and subsequent declaration of results, a division bench of MP high court allowed three petitioner medical students to appear in the Pre-PG exam without completing one year of internship, a prerequisite to appear in the pre-PG medical exam.

The court also issued notices to respondents in the case.

The petitioner Shreya Jain and two other students said that they had appeared in the MBBS final year exam organised by MP Medical University in the month of May, 2022.

Result of the exam was declared on July 23, 2023. They were required to finish one year of internship to appear in the pre-PS exam but their internship will end on July 25 and by that time pre-PG test would be conducted.

Appearing for the petitioners, advocate Aditya Sanghi said that according to notification of the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the union government, one-year internship by MBBS students should be done by June 30 but since MBBS result Of the petitioners was declared late, they would not be able to appear in the pre-PG test.

Giving an interim relief to the petitioners, the bench of chief justice R V Malimath and Justice Vushal Mishra allowed them to appear in the pre-PG test.

The court further issued notices to the union health ministry, National Medical Commission, National Board of Examination in Medical Science and MP Medical University seeking a response to the petition.

KNUHS MBBS interns seek deferment of NEET PG exam

KNUHS MBBS interns seek deferment of NEET PG exam

The medical institute extended internships of the students till August 11 for various reasons, which makes them ineligible for the exam this year

HANAMKONDA : About 200 interns of Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) working at MGM Hospital are expressing their frustration over the extension of their internship till August by the authorities, which makes them ineligible for appearing in NEET-2023 for medical PG admissions scheduled to be held on June 20. As per eligibility criteria, MBBS students should have completed the internship before taking the NEET for PG admission. The last date for applying for the test is January 27.

For various reasons including Covid-19 pandemic Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNUHS) extended the internship of the MBBS students till August 11. Speaking to TNIE, P Deekshith, a final-year MBBS student of the Kakatiya Medical College (KMC), Warangal, demanded that the university authorities write a letter to the Union government, explaining the circumstances leading to extension of the internship and seek postponement of NEET PG this year. He asserted that the university authorities and the State government were responsible for the extension of the internship. “But the future of 3,000 students is in jeopardy,” Deekshith lamented.

Kakatiya Medical College(KMC) Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) president D Srinath stated that the interns of Osmania, Gandhi, Kakatiya and scores of private medical colleges submitted a representation to Health Minister T Harish Rao urging him to ensure postponement of NEET PG so that hundreds of MBBS students in the State would not lose their academic year. The minister, Srinath said, responded positively and assured that the issue would be taken up with the Union government to protect the interests of the students. “We are also using our channels to get the NEET PG postponed,” said Shrinath.

“In the event of the efforts of the State government failing in getting the test postponed, we are keeping the option of approaching the court open,” said Srinath. When contacted, Telangana State Junior Doctors Association (JUDA) president N Karthik said that it’s the responsibility of the KNUHS authorities to follow up on the representation submitted to the Union government and get NEET postponed. “If the university authorities failed in this regard, we will announce our future action plan,” said Karthik.

Unregistered student passes medical exams in Madhya Pradesh

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.”

278 degrees to non-students: Probe panel in MP medical results irregularities

278 degrees to non-students: Probe panel in MP medical results irregularities

India News

On August 16, 2021, seven petitioners approached the Madhya Pradesh high court seeking an inquiry by an independent agency into what they alleged was “mass scale corruption” in the conduct of the 2018-19 examinations in medical and nursing colleges affiliated with the university.

The report, a copy of which HT has seen, says that the university’s report shows a mismatch between the number of those enrolled in the course, and those that got degrees — in 278 cases. 

ByShruti Tomar, Monika Pandey, Bhopal/jabalpur:

278 degrees given to people that were never students; overwritten answer sheets; and revaluation when the rules offer none — these are some of the grave findings highlighted by a five-member committee headed by retired Madhya Pradesh high court judge KK Trivedi probing irregularities in results of the Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University.

On August 16, 2021, seven petitioners approached the Madhya Pradesh high court seeking an inquiry by an independent agency into what they alleged was “mass scale corruption” in the conduct of the 2018-19 examinations in medical and nursing colleges affiliated with the university. There are 954 private and government medical colleges, nursing colleges and paramedical colleges affiliated with the university in the state.

On October 4, 2021, a bench of chief justice Mohammad Rafiq and justice Vishal Dhagat ordered the state government to form a high-level committee headed by a retired judge of the high court, a police officer and three experts to investigate the allegations. The state government formed the committee under Trivedi seven days later.

The committee probed complaints filed by the seven different petitioners in several medical and paramedical colleges and submitted its findings to the court in July, and these are expected to be discussed at the next date of hearing on January 2, 2023.

The report, a copy of which HT has seen, says that the university’s report shows a mismatch between the number of those enrolled in the course, and those that got degrees — in 278 cases. The university took action only “in respect of a few candidates and institutions”, the report says. In most of these instances, according to the report, the mark sheets were issued “in the name of other candidates whereas the enrolment number reflects a different name.”

“From the analysis it is clear that all three, the colleges, the university and the IT agency, have acted hand-in-glove in this mischief. It is unbelievable that in the garb of making corrections to the application form for taking part in the 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,” the report said.

Mindlogics Infratech, a private IT company was given the contract for delivering question papers under the university and declaring the results of 2 lakh students.When contacted on the number given on website, no one responded.

The five-member committee also included additional director general of the cyber cell of the state police, Yogesh Deshmukh said the report was submitted and the court will take decision accordingly.

Detailing the modus operandi behind these fraudulent degrees, the report said that colleges apply to the university for minor corrections in examination entry forms. “The university in turn, without conducting any inquiry, solely on the discretion of the authorities of the university, directs the IT agency to reset (re-open) the portal. After the portal is reopened, the entire data relating to the student is changed by the college, except the enrolment number-- even the name, father’s name, gender etc (are changed). Once this change is locked, the system of the IT agency automatically generates the admit card in the name of the fraudulent candidate.”

Other irregularities found by the committee include giving passing marks to students where their answer sheets are overwritten during “revaluation and special revaluation.” The report identified a list of 13 students of different colleges (the report doesn’t have names of the college), who took admission under the NRI quota in MBBS and BDS courses in the 2018-19 academic year. 11 of them failed in the annual examination in 2018, but passed during revaluation, and two more who failed in the revaluation too, were given passing marks in a “special revaluation.” The answer sheets of these students bore evidence of overwriting, the report said.

This is especially interesting because the rules do not allow for a revaluation.

“Surprisingly, it was noted that even though there was no provision of revaluation in the entire scheme of conducting examination as prescribed in Ordinance VI of 2014, not was revaluation done but in some cases special revaluation was also done and the results of such students were declared through a special result committee. This raises a serious question as to why this option of “special revaluation” was not made available for all students when it was granted and executed for a select few which points towards favouritism.”

The report also records former exam controller Vrinda Saxena as admitting that she was pressured to favour some students. The report says: “When a specific question was asked to Dr. Vrinda Saxena, the then Controller of Examination, that whether at any point of time any attempt was made by anyone to manipulate the examination results, she hesitatingly stated that on two occasions such attempts were made and she was asked to favour certain students.” Vrinda Saxena couldn’t be reached for comment despite several calls.

The report has attached two papers that show such requests, one allegedly hand written by TN Dubey, the then Vice Chancellor of the University, and another by registrar JK Gupta.

“The first paper written by the VC Dubey contains five names of students with their roll number and enrollment number and the second, a printed document, the names of seven students. Though it was stated that there was no change made in the results of the aforesaid students , this is enough to demonstrate that the then officials posted in the university were not working honestly and fairly,” said the report.

Dubey said, “This is in the past. The day I left the university on August 15, 2021, I left things behind and don’t want to discuss it.”

Then registrar JK Gupta said, “In fact, action was taken against whistleblowers. I probed the matter first in July2021 and gave a report to the state government with the recommendation to black list the IT company. But I was removed from the postof registrar. I moved the courton July 28, 2021 and was reinstated, so they suspended me. The real culprits went untouched.” Gupta declined to elaborate on his allegations.

Another doctor, Tripti Gupta, said that she was terminated from her position at the university on November 4(2021 or 2022) for raising these issues. “I sent an email to the vice chancellor highlighting the irregularities and was punished for unearthing the truth,” Gupta said.

Vishal Baghel, one of the petitioners in the case said, “This shows the massive corruption and fraud in the university. We are pleading before the court to cancel the degrees of students who received degrees in place of other enrolled students.”

Health expert and Vyapam scam whistleblower Dr Anand Rai said, “What this means is that several unqualified people are roaming around with medical degrees. We have raised this issue many times but it is now on record. The degrees of such students should be cancelled.”

The university vice-chancellor Dr Ashok Khandelwal said, “The action was taken by the state government, who are responsible for the irregularities. Now, we have strengthened the system and made the system transparent.”

Madhya Pradesh medical education minister Vishwas Sarang said, “We have taken action against people involved in irregularities. More action will follow if directed by the court.”

Health varsity seeks five years for Telugu MBBS

Also a member of the National Medical Council (NMC), Dr Prasad wondered how Madhya Pradesh government published the MBBS books in Hindi within no time.

VIJAYAWADA: A day after Home Minister Amit Shah released MBBS books in Hindi language in Madhya Pradesh, Dr NTR University of Health Sciences (Dr NTRUHS), the only medical university in Andhra Pradesh, has opposed the Union government’s proposal to implement Hindi or regional languages as the medium of instruction for professional courses.

Dr NTRUHS Vice-Chancellor Dr Syama Prasad Pigilam stated that they will not implement Hindi or the regional language for medical education in the State. “We want at least five years’ time to change the medium of instruction,” he said.

Also a member of the National Medical Council (NMC), Dr Prasad wondered how Madhya Pradesh government published the MBBS books in Hindi within no time. “There was no discussion regarding the implementation of Hindi or regional languages as the medium of instruction. Although I am an NMC member, I was not informed of any such proposal,” he exclaimed.

‘Faculty will struggle with Telugu’

If implemented, students will face severe problems while working in other countries, Dr Prasad opined and explained, “Mother tongue is used as the medium of instruction in countries like China, Russia and Germany, but the same cannot be done in India as there are several languages.”

Advising the government to discuss the matter with seniors, experts and academicians of every college before taking a decision, the University VC noted that teaching in Hindi would also be difficult for faculty at medical colleges. He said students might have to take a bridge course before going for higher studies, if they complete MBBS in a regional language or Hindi.

Meanwhile, experts, doctors and academicians, too, opposed the proposal to implement Hindi or regional languages as a medium of instruction in all technical and non-technical educational institutions, including central universities, as recommended by a committee headed by Amit Shah on official language.

Telugu Bhasodyama Samakhya Honorary President and a veteran Ayurvedic medicine practitioner Dr Samala Ramesh Babu opined that the southern States may face problem to continue in the Indian Union, if the Centre forcefully implements its ideology. He demanded that the textbooks be published in all languages that are recognised by the Constitution.

Andhra Pradesh Government Doctors’ Association State president Dr Jayadheer said, “If the proposal is implemented, students of India cannot present their thesis on global platforms and they will not understand thesis of other researchers from foreign countries. The Centre’s decision will create long-term problems,” he added and also demanded that English be retained as the medium of instruction for MBBS students. Faculty at medical colleges also expressed their inability to teach in Hindi or any regional languages, if it the proposal is implemented all of a sudden.

Prof Dr Ambati Naga Radhakrishna Yadav, Pediatric Dental surgeon from Eluru noted that the students might lose the advantage of updating themselves, if they graduate in Hindi. “What about their higher studies, which is a national pool exam, and they can secure a seat anywhere in the country?” he asked.

Dr Yadav suggested bilingual textbooks might help people who have a language disadvantage.

Revise order fixing 50 per cent med seat fee on par with govt colleges: Madras HC to NMC

Express News Service

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Friday ordered the National Medical Commission (NMC) to reconsider its direction to private medical colleges and deemed universities to collect government fixed fee for 50% of their seats, saying that such an arrangement is impermissible and would affect merit.

The first bench of Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari and Justice N Mala passed the orders on a batch of petitions filed by the Education Promotion Society for India and private medical colleges and deemed universities challenging the NMC’s office memorandum issued earlier this year.

The bench ordered the National Medical Commission to come out with a fresh office memorandum and said the fee structure under the present system may continue till that exercise is completed. If there is huge difference in fee structure between two sets of students, then it may result in sacrificing the merit of the candidates because after filling the first 50% seats on a par with the fee collected by government medical colleges, the remaining seats would be given to next meritorious students and if candidates are not in a position to pay the high fee, students with lesser merit would be given admission.

This would ultimately result in sacrificing merit and in worst-case scenario may lead to seats going vacant causing loss to the institutions and the nation if candidates down the merit list are not ready to pay the high fee, the bench said. The expert committee set up by the National Medical Commission had failed to take into account these facts while making recommendation for restructuring the fee of private medical educational institutions, the judges said. “The expert committee could not visualize that if there would be huge difference in the fee structure for two sets of students, it may result in sacrificing the merit,” the bench said.

‘Arrangement not permissible in the light of SC judgments’

The petitioners had challenged Section 10 (1) (i) of NMC Act, 2019, and office memorandum dated February 3, 2022, which provides for fee of 50% seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities to be on a par with the government medical colleges and guidelines for fixation of fee and other charges to cover the cost incurred by the institutions for the remaining 50% seats.

The petitioners contended that students admitted under second 50% seats (with fee ranging from Rs 40 lakh to 70 lakh) would have to subsidise those admitted for first 50% seats for a fee on a par with government colleges (ranging from R18,000 to R20,000 per year). The court held that this arrangement is not permissible in the light of the apex court judgments in the case of TMA Pai Foundation and others and Islamic Academy of Education and another

‘Will affect merit, lead to vacancies’

Chennai: The petitioners had contended that students admitted to 50% seats for fee ranging from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 70 lakh would have to subsidise those admitted to 50% seats for a fee on a par with government colleges (Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000 per year). This fee difference would result in sacrificing merit and may lead to seats in private institutions going vacant.
