The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has initiated an inquiry against 152 students who uploaded incorrect documents while submitting their applications for admission in the third round of medical counselling.
According to a press release issued by the Maharashtra CET Cell, some complaints were received regarding discrepancies in the documents uploaded by newly registered candidates during the third round of medical admissions. Upon verification, the documents of 152 students were found to be incorrect.
After this came to light, the CET cell issued notices to these students via email, and asked them to re-upload their original and authentic documents. The students were given time until noon on October 16 to comply. As of now, one student has re-uploaded their original documents, which are currently under verification.
The CET cell stated that all the documents of the 152 students are being scrutinised, and a detailed report has been sought from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which functions under the National Medical Commission (NMC). MCC has been asked to provide complete details of all 152 candidates to assist in the verification process.
“After the information is received from the MCC and verified, a final decision regarding the admissions of these students will be taken,” the CET cell said in a press release.
It was also noted that many of these students had entered incorrect details such as their email addresses and phone numbers, which further complicated the verification process.
