Overview

Authorities have uncovered widespread misuse of the two per cent freedom fighter quota in MBBS admissions in Uttar Pradesh. Out of the 88 reserved seats, 79 were allotted, and 71 students reportedly took admission in medical colleges under this quota.

The two per cent freedom fighter quota reserves 88 MBBS seats out of 4,442 in Uttar Pradesh’s medical colleges as a recognition of the sacrifices made by freedom fighters and their families.

The matter came to light when a certificate found in Firozabad was found to be fake, following which an intensive investigation was conducted in 10 districts of Uttar Pradesh. Fake certificates were found in many districts, including Meerut, Saharanpur, Ballia, Bhadohi and Ghazipur, exposing a large network of fraud.
