Lucknow: Taking stringent measures against the medicos who allegedly used unfair means in their final year MBBS exam, King George's Medical University (KGMU) authorities on Saturday suspended 42 senior medicos for eight weeks from the classes as well as the hostel.

According to a recent report by TOI, the medicos allegedly asked their juniors to impersonate them in final year internal assessment exams so they could study for NEET PG entrance.

The suspended medicos included six female students who were appearing for their internal assessment test of the MBBS final year. This is the largest action in terms of suspensions at KGMU since 105 students got punished in 2006 following widespread violence on campus.

Previously, there have been instances where a number of medicos hired talented students to help them pass medical entrance exams, but in this case, senior MBBS students allegedly asked their juniors to appear in the undergraduate internal assessment tests instead of them, so that they could focus on studying for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Postgraduation (NEET-PG). However, no evidence of money being exchanged has yet been discovered, adds TOI.

The 2019 batch has 160 pupils, according to professors at the medicine department. During the internal assessment test on May 7, an invigilator identified two 2020 batch students impersonating their 2019 class of seniors. The two juniors were brought before the disciplinary committee, where they revealed that four of their classmates had also been impersonating seniors in the same test and that was when these four were questioned, they revealed the identities of another 15 medicos.
The teachers informed that daily that Internal assessments last about 2-3 hours and are worth 20 to 30 points. Internal examinations are often overlooked by students in their last year of medical school, who would rather focus on studying for the NEET-PG exam, they said. This time the juniors were caught in action after which the vice-chancellor ordered a thorough inquiry into the matter.
Times of India reports that according to the KGMU order, the action was taken against the medicos on the suggestion of the preliminary inquiry conducted by the disciplinary committee.
"In this case, the senior students claimed that only basic questions come in the internal assessment and one can easily answer those after revising it for a day or two. However, since these students were focusing on NEET and did not want to waste any time, they requested their juniors to take the test in their place with the promise to help them in their studies when they will come to their final year. The latter obliged as a friendly gesture," a senior professor on the condition of anonymity told TOI.
As these assessments are common, paramedics or office employees are frequently used as invigilators, while teachers continue to teach their courses and some of the medicos are well aware of it. " Further, there is no provision of bringing admit cards during internals, and only roll numbers are enough to appear in the test. Senior students took advantage of these two factors and sent their juniors for the test," he said.
