JIPMER: PROBE INTO FAKE NATIVITY CERTIFICATE BEGINS

On the allegation of fake nativity certificates submitted by other state candidates for admission to MBBS under the quota for the Union Territory, the Puducherry government has begun a probe regarding this. The department of revenue has asked the JIPMER to furnish copies of certificates of all the provisionally selected candidates under the quota of residence of Puducherry for verification of the certificates. The Special Officer of the department, A. Sureshraj, issued the letter to the dean of the medical college on Monday as part of the probe initiated by the District Collector. In the letter, it was stated that the government had received complaints that the names of candidates from other states had figured in the merit list published recently under the Puducherry quota for admission to the MBBS course in the institute.
