MBBS exam scam: Varsity to check answer sheets of Last 5 years' exams
Haryana- In the reported MBBS exam scam from Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS), Rohtak, authorities have now decided to conduct a thorough scrutiny of answer sheets of all annual and supplementary exams held in both government and private medical colleges across Haryana in the last five years.
In this regard, an order has recently been issued by the VC stating that “As the inquiry committee suggested in its report on February 13, another committee is constituted to scrutinise the answer sheets and records of previous batches who can also be involved in this scam so that further necessary action as per the findings and rules may be taken.”
To oversee this task, a three-member committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of PGIMS Medical Superintendent Dr Kundan Mittal. Dr Sukhdev Chandla, Professor of Physiology at PGIMS and Dr Arun Kumar, Professor of Pedodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak are the other members of the committee.
According to TribuneIndia media news report, the sources on this stated that "The committee has been constituted by UHSR Vice-Chancellor Dr HK Aggarwal who wants to ensure action against officials and students involved in the MBBS annual or supplementary examination scandal”.
This initiative aims to highlight any tampering of answer sheets or irregularities in the examination process during these examinations.
Last year in 2024, a major scam of MBBS exam question papers came to light at Pandit BD Sharma UHS, where university staff charged huge sums of money from students to help them pass a particular subject by allowing them to rewrite their answer sheets using erasable ink pens and reference from the textbook
On this, Medical Dialogues has earlier reported that the district administration has asked the institute to expedite its investigation and submit a report at the earliest for prompt action on the matter.
