Srinagar Feb 17: The Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) has cancelled admission of 12 MBBS students who had passed the entrance test fraudulently by purchasing the Question papers and the key of Common Entrance Test (CET)-2012.
The BOPEE vide order number 4 of 2014 dated 15-02-2014 cancelled the admission of Mushtaq Ahmad Lone, Yasir Yusuf Dar, Shafeequr Rehman Lone, Khursheed Ahmad Dar, Navid Ahmad Bhat, Yasir Yusuf Hajam, Bazila Bilal Vaid, Amira Shakeel, Saiqa Manzoor, Ahmad Faraz, Shahida Shafi and Sadam Farooq Shah. All these students were studying in Government Medical College, Srinagar.
The BOPEE has requested the GMC Srinagar to struck them off from the rolls of the college and informed the University of Kashmir to cancel their registration.
These students had managed their admission by purchasing the Question papers from the former chairman of the BOPEE, Mushtaq Ahmad Peer, who has been arrested by Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir Police along with several students, their parents and one of the main accused Sajjad Ahmad Bhat.
The cancellation of admission was done by the BOPEE under the Jammu and Kashmir High Court orders. The court had also directed that meritorious students be selected against the students whose admission was cancelled.
The BOPEE has convened a meeting on February 23 at BOPEE office in Jammu to discuss the court direction under which they have been told to select meritorious candidates at the place of these students.
The BOPEE in its status report filed before the court has said that the implementation of the order involves many stakeholders including the Principal GMC Srinagar, Principal GMC Jammu, Director SKIMS Srinagar, Director ASCOMS Jammu, Principal GDC Srinagar, Principal GDC Jammu, Principal Dental College Sehora Jammu, Dean Academic Affairs SKUAST Jammu and Srinagar, Dean Academics Universities of Jammu and Kashmir, president Medical Council of India, Secretary Dental Council of India, Commissioner/ Secretary to government ARI Trainings Department Civil Secretariat and Jammu, Commissioner/ Secretary to government Health and Medical Education Department, Civil Secretariat Jammu.
The BOPEE has said that perusal of the select list prepared on the basis of CET held by BOPEE in 2012 reveals that meritorious candidates whose seats were usurped by the candidates whose admission has been cancelled are studying in different Medical and Dental Colleges. “Some of them are studying against free seats in private colleges and some against the payment seats. The process of consultation is therefore necessary before taking any final decision in regard to the grant of admissions against the vacated seats in favour of meritorious candidates”, the status report adds.
The status report says that consultation with the MCI and DCI has also been felt necessary as the admissions against now available vacant seats will be a mid-term admission. “The registration of the students who may be admitted against the vacant seats by Universities may also pose a problem for the students themselves. The consultation with the registrars of the Universities of Jammu and Kashmir seems to be very essential”, the status report adds.
