Documents of students who got medical seats under NRI quota to be verified by embassies
The HinduFor the first time, the Karnataka Examination Authority has decided to send the details and documents of 320 students who secured postgraduate medical seats under the Non-Resident Indian quota to the respective embassies for cross-verification. This decision comes after KEA discovered irregularities involving 21 students who secured postgraduate medical seats under the management quota in the All India Quota while also securing seats under NRI in the State quota. After the announcement of the final list following the first counselling round, KEA identified 21 students who applied for and secured management quota seats under AIQ while also obtaining NRI quota seats in the State quota. Ideally, they should have applied under the NRI quota even in AIQ seats as well,” said Prasanna H., Executive Director, KEA, adding that this has raised several suspicions, especially given that KEA has already come across a few students using fake NRI certificates.
