NEET PG admission scam? Complaint to NMC, DME flags seat blocking at Bihar's medical college

Patna: The Madhubani Medical College, Bihar, is facing allegations of a massive scam involving NRI Quota admissions and organised seat blocking in the NEET PG admission for the 2025-2026 session.

Claiming that meritorious students are being robbed of their rightful seats due to a "money-for-seat" scandal, a complaint has been filed before the State Government authorities, including the Directorate of Medical Education, Bihar, and the Secretary of the National Medical Commission (NMC).

However, despite being aware of the issue, no action has been taken in this regard, the complainant has alleged.

What are the allegations?

In a complaint addressed to the State DME, the complainant alleged that the PG medical candidates have submitted manipulated documents for misrepresenting distant or unrelated individuals as eligible first/second-degree blood relatives to satisfy the NRI criteria. Further, allegations have also been made that specific clinical PG seats were deliberately blocked through a Broker/Agent network since the first round.

"The fraud was finalized only after the cutoff reduction, using the broker’s influence to submit modified documents at the last moment...This directly violates the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s judgment in P.A. Inamdar vs State of Maharashtra, which mandates that NRI admissions must be transparent and genuine," mentioned the complaint.

For instance, the complainant alleged that an investigation should be made into the NRI quota (2025-26 Batch) admission to the MS Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBGY) department. The complainant has requested a strict cross-verification of the Lineage Document/Family Tree against the Sponsor's original Passport/Visa and financial transaction records of a specific candidate.

"It is highly disappointing that despite being aware of these irregularities, the DME Bihar and NMC have not initiated any verification process. The repeated redirection of this complaint without ground-level investigation suggests a deliberate attempt to suppress the matter. This negligence is a failure of the regulatory bodies to protect the merit-based system," the Complainant added in the communication dated 19.05.2026.

The complainant has urged the authorities to conduct an immediate and transparent audit of all NRI quota admissions at Madhubani Medical College for this session, involve the Vigilance Investigation Bureau to probe the broker-college nexus and financial dealings, and immediately cancel admissions and criminal proceedings against candidates and officials found involved in this fraud.

Along with the communication, the complainant also attached a letter from the Bihar State Vigilance Department, addressed to the State Health Department. In that letter, the Department forwarded a copy of the complaint to the Health Department for investigation.

However, the complainant has alleged that even though the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) Bihar, was alerted via the concerned letter, no verification or audit has been initiated yet.

Commenting on the alleged scam, the complainant, on the condition of anonymity, told Medical Dialogues, "Despite clear guidelines from the Hon'ble Supreme Court (P.A. Inamdar case) and official warnings from state authorities, a deep-rooted nexus of brokers and college administration is helping non-eligible candidates secure clinical seats using fabricated family trees."

"Clinical seats (specifically in MS Gynaecology) were blocked through brokers until the cutoff was reduced. Post-cutoff, admissions were finalized using forged documents to show distant/unrelated people as NRI blood relatives," added the complainant.
