Plea to quash PG medical entrance exam results

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI MARCH 5. The Delhi High Court today issued notices to the Union Government, All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Delhi police on a petition by a group of MBBS doctors of different States seeking quashing of the results of this year's All-India Post Graduate Medical Entrance Examination in which seven of the ten toppers belonged to the King George's Medical College (KGMC), Lucknow, and the G.S. V.M. Medical College, Kanpur.

The doctors alleged that the question papers were leaked for a huge consideration well before the entrance test.

The petitioners, who had also taken the examination, alleged that two days before the examination they had been approached by unidentified persons offering solved question papers for Rs. 7,500 each.

The Union Health Minister, Dr. C.P. Thakur, had assured them that all necessary action would be taken against the culprits. However, the petitioner examinees, to their shock, found that the papers contained all the questions shown to them by the unidentified persons before the examination, the petition said.
