A Maharashtra-based coaching institute has been booked in alleged involvement in cheating during the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2021. In an ongoing CBI investigation, it was found that some people impersonated as students took the medical entrance exam. Students were asked to pay Rs 50 lakh in exchange for someone else taking their test on their behalf.
The racket was busted when a proxy candidate did not appear for the exam after the ongoing CBI investigation in JEE Mains cheating scam. The involvement of more than one student is being highlighted in this case. As per sources while some had used proxy or exam solvers, in some cases the OMR sheets were manipulated and some applicants had modified their data.
CBI has registered a case against a Nagpur-based coaching centre which allegedly was involved in ensuring admissions to top medical colleges in exchange for money. Cases of proxy are being investigated in at least five exam centres in Ranchi and Delhi. An FIR in this regard was filed on September 12.
As reported by The Hindu, usernames and passwords of students were obtained and changes were made in their admit cards, photographs were morphed, copies of e-Aadhar were made to ensure entry of proxy candidates into exam centres.
Earlier, NEET question paper was floated outside the exam centre via WhatsApp. The police arrested 18-year-old candidate Dineshwari Kumari along with invigilator Ram Singh, in charge of the exam centre’s administration unit Mukesh, Dineshwari’s uncle and four others were also nabbed in connection with the case. While the National Testing Agency (NTA) has denied calling it a leak yet considering only one student was involved in this cheating case reported from Rajasthan’s Jaipur.
