A probe has been launched into NEET admissions in Uttarakhand after authorities discovered that 370 students had submitted forged domicile certificates.
Uttarakhand authorities have opened a probe into NEET admissions after discovering that 370 students had submitted forged domicile certificates. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the sole entrance exam for medical courses in India, and candidates must hold a valid domicile certificate to qualify for state quota seats. The discovery of fake certificates raises concerns about the integrity of the admission process. The state health department and the Medical Council of India have been notified, and an investigation is underway to identify the sources of the forged documents and to determine whether any seats were allocated based on the fraudulent certificates. Officials have assured that all affected admissions will be reviewed and that corrective measures will be taken to prevent future occurrences. The investigation is expected to conclude in the coming weeks.
