Court seeks information on vacant PG medical seats

Court seeks information on vacant PG medical seats

J. Venkatesan

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday directed the governments of six States to furnish the list of candidates who had opted for the all-India quota for admission to post-graduate medical and dental courses.

Chief Secretaries and Health Secretaries of Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and Jharkhand should send the list to the Directorate-General of Health Services.

A three-Judge Bench comprising Chief Justice K. G. Balakrishnan, Justice R.V. Raveendran and Justice M. K. Sharma, while giving this direction, extended the schedule till June 10 for conducting the second round of counselling for the admission process.

In its brief order, the Bench said that as per the schedule for admission to post-graduate medical and dental courses in the all-India quota and the State quota, April 15 was the last date for the States to furnish to the DGHS the number of students who had opted for the all-India quota for admission to the vacant seats.

The Bench directed the Chief Secretaries and Health Secretaries of the States which had not furnished the data to send it by May 10 so that the second round of counselling could be completed by June 10. The Bench made it clear that in the future the schedule should be strictly adhered to and data sent by April 24 as the admission process should be completed by May 31.

In an application, Amit Gupta and others submitted that as per the schedule the first round of State counselling was to be completed by April 15 and the last date for joining the allotted colleges was April 20. The second round of counselling was to be held by May 9 and for this the correct number of seats that had fallen vacant should be furnished by the States concerned.

This year six States had not completed the first round of counselling within the stipulated time.

They said that if the second round of counselling was held without the availability of data on vacant seats, these seats would be reverted to the States concerned. They sought a direction for rescheduling the second round of counselling after the DGHS obtained the data from the States.

AIIMS ENTRY EXAMINATION DOCTORED

AIIMS ENTRY EXAMINATION DOCTORED
Cops sniff out gang of doctors impersonating as candidates
By Bhuvan Bagga in New Delhi
From http://mailtoday.in/epapermain.aspx?queryed=9&eddate=4/9/

THE LID has been blown off a widespread racket that helped medical candidates to pass their admission test for prestigious postgraduate ( PG) courses through fraud.

The police have discovered that some candidates, who appeared for the All- India Post Graduate Medical Examination ( AIPGME) conducted by AIIMS this year, paid huge sums to get more proficient doctors impersonate them at the examination so that they could qualify for the country’s premier medical colleges.

Investigations into the racket revealed the involvement of doctors working with prominent hospitals in Delhi. Those who took the medical exams in place of the actual candidates received considerable sums. Each candidate, who took the help of the fraudsters, paid between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 15 lakh for securing admission into a postgraduate course.

The police stumbled upon the racket when they identified a candidate who had qualified in the AIPGME held on January 17 this year, the results for which weredeclared in February. Crime Branch officers of Delhi Police were taken aback when they found the candidate, an MBBS doctor, had qualified for the AIPGME after someone else wrote the tough examination for him.

The candidate had qualified in the Scheduled Castes ( SC) category and was an MBBS doctor from from Lucknow’s King George’s Medical College ( KGMC). The police believe there could be several others like him. The network of doctors and owners of coaching schools who ran the racket were said to be so brazen in their functioning that they threw caution to the winds.

One of the key figures in the racket, identified by Crime Branch officers as Vijay Pratap Singh of Ghaziabad is learnt to have disclosed during questioning, “ Most of the time we refer our Lucknow office address ( on the candidate’s examination form) so that the admit card comes directly to us rather than the candidate.” It was an elementary mistake that led the police to Singh’s door. The racket first came to light following Raids at an examination centre in Noida on January 13 that led to the arrests of Singh and Dr Shamshaul Hoda on January 17. An MBBS from a Patna medical college, Hoda had approached Singh with a request to find him an impersonator.

He had made a part payment of Rs 3 lakh to Singh. Crime Branch got wind of this and nabbed both Singh and Hoda. Raids at Singh’s house in Supertech, Vaishali in Ghaziabad district have yielded incriminating documents, like admit cards and candidate profiles, the police claimed. Singh and Hoda, who were arrested by the Crime Branch, are now on bail.

It is largely on the leads provided by Singh during questioning that the police have proceeded with the investigations. The candidate from KGMC, whose case alerted the police about the racket, had said in his examination form that his admit card be delivered to an address in Lucknow’s Nav Nanak Nagar even though he was a resident of Mathura. The police are investigating whether the Nav Nanak Nagar address belonged to the racket run by Singh, who after his arrest by the police is now on bail.

According to Delhi Police, the mastermind of the nationwide racket is S. P. Singh, a resident of Pune who is said to have a good network in Pune, Gujarat and Lucknow, apart from the NCR areas. Those who were part of the racket are said to have a well- defined role to play and included liaisoning with admission committees of professional colleges.

From S. P. Singh, the candidates were directed to Vijay Pratap Singh’s offices at Ghaziabad or Lucknow for the necessary paper work. That done, the admit cards were handed over to another key person in the chain, identified by the Crime Branch as Dr Gopal Krishnan. He would arrange for the doctors who would impersonate the candidates at the examination centre.

Vijay Pratap Singh told the police that it was Dr Krishnan who would handle staff on duty at the examination centre in order to prevent the racket from being exposed. “ The fraud is done in such an organised manner that no one comes to know of the fraud,” Vijay Pratap Singh has reportedly told officers of the Crime Branch.
