Puducherry Parents' Association wants 14 medical aspirants disqualified over fake nativity, caste certificates submission
According to the petition, eight students have applied for MBBS seats under government quota in in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, while six students have done the same in Kerala and Puducherry. The complaint demands the disqualification of these candidates from the ongoing medical admission process conducted by CENTAC (Centralised Admission Committee) in Puducherry.
The petition also points out that CENTAC has so far received 1,657 applications for MBBS seats under the government quota, and the current revised merit list includes 1,576 students. However, the number is expected to rise to 1,590 as a few more applications are under review.
The issue also extends to the highly competitive JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research) admissions. Over 1,000 students have applied for 64 first-year MBBS seats under the JIPMER Internal (Domicile) Quota in Puducherry and Karaikal. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is scheduled to release the final admission list for these seats on Saturday, August 9.
The petition further calls on the Directorate of Health and the Health Department of Puducherry to intervene and initiate legal proceedings where necessary. The Medical Council Committee has also been requested to initiate criminal proceedings against the 14 students to uphold the integrity of the admission process and protect the interests of eligible candidates.

Coimbatore man booked for arranging forged document for NRI medical aspirant
The Variety Hall Road police in Coimbatore have registered a case against a man who arranged a forged relationship certificate for an NRI medical aspirant. Vellingiri, 50, of Madurai Veeran Kovil Street at Edayarpalayam in Coimbatore was booked for offences, including 336(3), 340(1) and 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The police said that an 18-year-old medical aspirant from Ponnaiahrajapuram had applied for an MBBS seat under the NRI quota, for which NEET score and participation in statewide counselling for the quota are required. He approached the accused, who is known to his father, in March this year for a relationship certificate that proves the relationship between the candidate and the NRI sponsor. According to the police, the accused gave a forged relationship certificate and the boy applied for the medical seat with the same, believing it to be genuine. The accused allegedly charged ₹10,000 for the document. However, the Medical Selection Committee found the certificate a forged one and cancelled the application. The medical aspirant lodged a complaint with the Variety Hall Road police, based on which a case was registered against Vellingiri.
