Medical Science University's VC resigns after mark sheet scam
On Saturday, Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University, Jabalpur Vice-Chancellor resigned after lapses were found in the working of an IT firm that was assigned to conduct the varsity's examination.
As per reports, Vice-Chancellor T N Dubey, a neurologist, has told the media that he has resigned due to personal reasons. The university authorities had blacklisted the IT firm, Mindlogisticx Infratec, after the probe by a government panel. However, the company moved to Madhya Pradesh High Court, and the court has lifted the blacklisting for now. Hence, the government cannot take any coercive order until the next hearing, that is on August 16.
The IT firm has stated that all changes in the mark sheet were made after receiving an official mail.
Medical Education Minister Vishwas Sarang had set up an inquiry panel after receiving multiple complaints about alleged unauthorised working of the IT firm. Medical Education Commissioner Nishant Warvade visited the university for the probe.
Sarang in his letter said that the students were not getting mark sheets and their degrees and the agency that was assigned to take the exams did not conduct them in time.
Inquiry report
The report suggested there was no digital interface created for conducting the examination. All data was exchanged through mails, which resulted in delays and irregularities in results and mark sheets. Moreover, all email IDs and passwords were with a grade III employee and he had complete access.
