MBBS exam scam: Centres of three private colleges shifted
Authorities at Pt BD Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS) have decided to shift the exam centres for the annual and supplementary MBBS/MD exams of three private colleges allegedly involved in the MBBS exam scam. Meanwhile, the state’s Crime Investigation Department (CID) has requested a detailed report from its district office regarding the scandal.
The decision comes ahead of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s visit to Rohtak on Wednesday, where he is set to inaugurate a statue of freedom fighter Pandit Shri Ram Sharma and address a public meeting.
“Teachers at these private colleges also serve as invigilators during exams, raising concerns about potential misconduct, especially given their students’ alleged involvement in the scam,” sources revealed.
Dr HK Aggarwal, Vice-Chancellor of UHS, told The Tribune, “The exam centres for these colleges have been changed to government institutions for upcoming annual exams to ensure fairness and prevent any possibility of wrongdoing.”
Health advocacy groups, including Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (JSA) Haryana and the Haryana Gyan Vigyan Samiti, have called for a high-level investigation into the scam to ensure justice for hard-working aspirants.
“Suspending two employees and terminating the services of three outsourced staffers is a welcome first step, but it is insufficient to address stakeholders' concerns. The possibility of higher officials being involved cannot be ignored. A fair and impartial inquiry is essential to restore trust,” said Dr RS Dahiya, convener of the JSA.
Echoing this sentiment, Pramod Gouri, president of Haryana Gyan Vigyan Samiti, said, “This is one of the biggest scams in Haryana and a high-level probe is necessary to expose all those involved.”
The MBBS exam scam has cast a shadow on the credibility of the examination process, with stakeholders demanding stricter oversight and transparent practices.
