'Not suitable' tag on qualified candidates! UP Panel flags irregularities in KGMU doctor recruitment
KGMU
Lucknow: A joint committee of the Uttar Pradesh legislature has found major irregularities in the doctor recruitment process at the King George's Medical University (KGMU).
The probe in this connection was prompted by the allegations of a scam. It has now been revealed that even though there were 108 reserved positions, including a backlog, only 30 positions were filled and many qualified candidates from top medical institutes such as Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute (SGPGI) were deemed as "Not Found Suitable".
As per the latest media report by the Free Press Journal, this development comes after an inquiry was ordered by Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak in this connection. The inquiry revealed a failure to adhere to reservation policies, and the allegations suggested that the appointments were rushed through overnight, disregarding the findings of the investigation and favouring non-reserved candidates. However, the officials at King George's Medical University have maintained that all the rules were followed.
