MBBS admission fraud at AIIMS Bhopal: UP student forged NEET rank, arrested

The student, who was under pressure from his family and was frustrated by continuous failures, decided to forge the documents to gain entry into AIIMS. According to officials, the accused copied his friend's original allotment letter, which was downloaded from social media, and edited it using Adobe Photoshop, a photo editing tool. Thereafter, he changed the roll number, marks and ranks, and replaced the photo and name with his own.

Bhaskar has reported that the accused student fabricated a score of 630 marks in the NEET exam and an All-India Rank of 284, even though the actual candidate, holding the same rank, had already taken admission at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Reportedly, the forged letter was designed so meticulously that even the fonts and official letter style closely resembled the original. 

Following this, on August 25, 2025, the student arrived in Bhopal from Mumbai and submitted the documents at the registrar's office. However, the officials grew suspicious after noticing inconsistencies in his responses during questioning. Therefore, to ensure that he could not escape, the accused was kept aside in a separate room while verification was carried out.

Ultimately, during the inquiry, it was revealed that the roll number and the rank cited by him belonged to another candidate already enrolled at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Immediately, the matter was reported to Bag Sewaniya police station. Following this, the accused was booked and arrested.
