NORCET Recruitment Scam: 4 Nursing Officers at RML Hospital terminated over failed biometric verification
Doctor Terminated
New Delhi: A recruitment scam has surfaced at the Centre-run Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital after four nursing officers' biometric identity verification test failed to match the documents submitted during a common recruitment exam. As a result, the authorities have terminated their services.
Hospital officials have claimed that the four terminated nurses could not have appeared for the Nursing Officer Recruitment Common Eligibility Test (NORCET), as their photographs, iris scans, and fingerprints did not match the details they provided during the exam. The officials suspect that different individuals may have taken the test on behalf of the nurses.

The incident has stirred controversy, with suspicions of a larger scam unfolding within NORCET. The test conducted by AIIMS to recruit nurses for central hospitals has come under scrutiny following these revelations.
The four terminated nursing officers had secured their appointments through NORCET, with two joining RML Hospital in 2022 and the other two being placed last year, reports TNIE.
