Taking action against the 21-year-old MBBS student from Kerala who obtained admission in Puducherry’s prestigious Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) by claiming dual nativity has now cancelled his admission. The order to cancel the seat has been given by the Medical Counseling Committee of the Central Directorate General of Health Services to the Director of JIPEMR Institute.
There is a rule that no student can claim to be a native of more than one state in one academic year while applying for admission in a medical college.
Khalid scored 99.30 percentile in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) last year and got admission in JIPMER under the domicile quota, but his admission was challenged by another medical student, 18-year-old Saminathan S. Now Khalid’s admission has been as the court noted that he had availed the benefit of dual nativity- both as a native of Puducherry and Kerala and the seat has been given to Saminathan.
