No verdict for NEET PG hearing on 27Nov, Next hearing on 6th Dec.

The case was taken up for hearing today in the Supreme Court. However as the files were not received, hence the Court ordered the case to be listed again on 6th December 2012 (the last day of NEET-PG).

As usual again SC gave a new date. For the authorities and SC, its very easy to provide new date after new date. The real victims of all this confusion are the students. Students from Andra and the other students all over India who want to appear for private medical colleges PGET are in dilemma whether to stop studying after completing their NEET or continue studying for other exams which may or may not happen in future. Authorities do not realize the importance of time for medical students in such situations. Clear state of mind is crucial for preparation of such competitive exams, which is impossible in this scenario.

Andhra film producer behind Chandigarh PG medical entrance scam

The Central Bureau of Investigation, probing the hi-tech mass copying racket in the entrance examination for admission into the prestigious Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER ), Chandigarh, have found the roots of the scam in the Telugu film industry as well.

The CBI officials in Chandigarh have found that Dr Kota Gangadhar Reddy, one of the kingpins in the racket - has turned out to be a Telugu film producer. He launched his own film production company - Kota Film Corporation (KFC). Early this year, he produced a high-voltage action film in Telugu - "Nandeeshwarudu," starring Nandamuri Taraka Ratna, grand-son of Telugu Desam Party founder-president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N T Rama Rao, but the film failed to click at the box office.

The CBI sleuths, who had picked up Gangadhar from Hotel Ashoka Pataliputra in Patna as part of a synchronised operation on November 10, produced him in a special court in Chandigarh on Monday. "We brought him to Chandigarh on a transit warrant and are interrogating him to find out the extent of network of his racket," CBI superintendent of police Vineet Brijlal told MAIL TODAY from Chandigarh.

The CBI authorities are now probing as to whether Gangadhar had used the scam money in producing films. "He seems to have made quite a big money running into a few crores through medical exam scam, not only in Chandigarh but in other parts of the country as well. We are probing whether he has been spending the same money in making films," the CBI official said.

According to the official, Gangadhar is the key conspirator in the hi-tech mass copying racket along with P Gurivi Reddy who had executed the racket. While Gangadhar had done his Master of Surgery in Orthopaedics, Gurivi Reddy had completed MBBS before entering into the mass copying racket using hi-tech electronic gadgets.

"According to preliminary investigations, the main activity of Gangadhar was to find out the students, to say precisely clients, who required admission into the PGIMER and arrange the experts to solve the question paper. On the other hand, Gurivi Reddy's job was to provide sophisticated equipment like pen-scanner, micro-earphones with blue tooth facility and wireless ear plugs to the students, who had hidden them in convenient places like undergarments, collars and hair bands," Vineet said.

Interestingly, seven girls - G Padmaja, G Sahaja, C Namitha, Maritha, Sunitha, Aruna and Krishna, who were arrested from the examination centres in Chandigarh on November 10, were not actually MBBS students appearing for PG medical entrance test. "Our investigations revealed that they were not medical students, but were part of the Gangadhar-Gurivi Reddy racket. The actual beneficiary clients were different and all of them are supposed to be from Andhra Pradesh. We could identify some of them and we would disclose their names once the investigation was completed," the CBI official said.

According to him, the job of the girls who were picked up from the examination hall was to leak the question paper to their "bosses" sitting in the control room using hi-tech gadgets. "They would scan the question paper using the specially designed pen, which had the facility to transmit the same to Gurivi Reddy and Gangadhar sitting in the control room in Chandigarh and Patna. The bosses in turn would send the scanned paper to "experts," who would find out the answers and send them back to the "control room." From there, the answers would be read out to the clients in the examination hall using blue tooth facility," the official said.

Vineet said the exact number of beneficiaries of the mass copying racket was not immediately known, but it would not exceed 40 as there were only 40 PG medical seats in the Chandigarh College. "Assuming that at least half of them could be genuine, the students involved in the racket could be around 20," he said.

Sources said one of the beneficiaries - Krishna Reddy who had done his MBBS from a private medical college in Nellore, had turned approved for the CBI and his statement had been recorded on Monday. Based on his confession, the CBI sleuths are identifying the other beneficiaries, sources said.

The PGIMER authorities have already cancelled the entire entrance examination and have decided to hold it afresh in December.

NEET not that neat, say candidates

Bangalore, Nov 23, 2012, DHNS :

Test evokes mixed response from candidates
The newly introduced National Entrance cum Eligibility Test for Post Graduate courses (NEET-PG) to gain entry into postgraduate medical courses in the country commenced at 33 centres, including Bangalore, on Friday.

The response of Bangalore candidates to the test was, however, not that positive.
The NEET-PG is a national entrance exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) with the aim of centralising all postgraduate medical examinations in the country.

The test will go on until December 6 and it is the first computer-based test as far as common medical entrance tests in the country are concerned. Friday’s test had 240 question of multiple choice and single response type.

Swarup, who has completed his MBBS from Mysore Medical College, was not very happy with the quality of the questions. He believed that they were more factual than contextual. “Of the 240 questions, 220 were such that one had to depend entirely on one’s powers to learn by heart to answer them,” he said.

He had given his All India Medical Entrance test a week ago and his Common Entrance Test (CET) and other such exams last year.

He  felt that these exams tested one’s concept and ability to draw conclusions, unlike the new exam. The new test does not have any negative marking system unlike in the CET. Swarup believed that this increased the chance of luck playing a bigger role in passing the exam than skill and ability.

No study material

The format and subjects of the new test had caused anxiety among some students. “In CET, one could get specific coaching and books. I could not get any study materials for this exam.

However, things might improve in the days to come,” said Kavyashree P S, who did her undergraduate studies from Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences.

Ashwini from Devraj Urs Medical College, Kolar, said that the exam was scheduled in a haphazard manner.

“The examinations were held at  short notice. We got only two months for preparation”.
Many candidates from other states appeared for the test in Bangalore due to the unavailability of seats in the test centres of their choice.

Vijith and Roger from Jubilee Mission Medical College and Government Medical College in Thrissur, Kerala, appeared for the test only to have a feel of it, so that they can prepare better the next time.

Positive response

Not all are, however, sceptical about the new test. “The questions were short and precise and were of better standard,” said Parvati from Kerala.

Shouaib Ahmed from MVJ Medical College, who will be giving his exams on Saturday, said, “It will make the medical exams more competitive and the number of seats are also bound to increase.”

MD/MS entrance exam of PGIMER may be cancelled due to cheating

Chandigarh: The MD/MS entrance exam of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, which was conducted on Saturday, is likely to be cancelled in view of unearthing of cheating racket.

The exam was taken by more than 7,000 candidates.

On Sunday, the hospital had announced postponement of declaration of the results of test for MD/MS courses for an indefinite period. In normal circumstances, the result would have been declared a day after the exam.

Seven women candidates who were arrested by CBI on Saturday allegedly appeared in the exam just to leak the question paper and thereby act as facilitators for other candidates.

The CBI sleuths on Saturday had arrested 16 people, including seven girl medical students, using hi-fi gadgets to cheat during a post-doctoral degree examination conducted by the PGIMER at four different centres here. While the arrested girls were candidates appearing for the MD/MS examination, nine others were picked up from KC residency Hotel in Sector 35.

Those arrested from the hotel include Gurivi Reddy, Mahindra, Jagdeesh, Thamin Khan, Afroz, Siddhartha Subhadra, Promila and Rahemu Nnisa.

PGI exam: More candidates benefited from racket; under CBI radar

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has found that the number of persons who benefited from the gang which used hi-tech gadgets for cheating in the entrance exam for the postgraduate courses in Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) was much more than initially thought.

While the central agency arrested seven "candidates" who had facilitated the leak of paper, others who benefited from the whole racket - mostly hailing from Andhra Pradesh -escaped arrest. However, they are under the CBI scanner.

A senior CBI official confirmed that students who were part of the cheaters' racket could be more than the initial estimate of around 20. The racket kingpin P Gurivi Reddy had taken a huge amount from these candidates.

CBI sources asserted that it was only after deeper probe that they came to know that the entire racket was orchestrated to help out several others, who managed to escape the CBI net during the raids.

Sources insisted that they were scanning the intricate details of the gang's modus operandi and its communication with candidates involved in the racket. It would be an arduous task to sieve through 7,000 candidates across 11 centres to catch hold of the culprits.

The officer of the central agency told Hindustan Times that kingpin Reddy had charged around Rs. 20 lakh per student who were helped through unfair means in the exam.

It was learnt that the CBI sleuths did not frisk all candidates taking exam at the raided centres since they had information about seven candidates only. CBI officials assert that PGI authorities should have frisked candidates properly before letting them in at the examination centres.

How the gang was unearthed
The CBI got a tip-off through an anonymous mail on November 9 about the hi-tech mass copying gang that was planning to use unfair means in entrance test for admissions to the PGI postgraduate courses on November 10.

The CBI later informed the PGI about impending raids at examination centres across Chandigarh. Subsequently, raids were conducted at 11 centres, and seven young women appearing in the exam arrested from four centres. Kingpin Reddy, hailing from Hyderabad, was arrested with eight others from KC Residency Hotel, Sector 35.

Sophisticated gadgets
Women involved in cheating used sophisticated electronic gadgets concealed in their clothes, even undergarments, and hair. CBI sources said the gang had a collection of sleek and sophisticated mobile phones, transmitters, micro earphones and SIM cards. Bluetooth devices used had high frequency range.

Around 20 mobile phones, transmitters and more than 30 SIM cards have been seized from the accused. The CBI asserts that the gadgets were procured from New Delhi, and the source of funding was being looked into.

Case status
The 15 accused have since been remanded in CBI custody till November 15. The CBI is now looking into the involvement, if any, of the gang in other exams in the past. The central agency is also probing the number of persons who might have benefited from the gang racket. Meanwhile, accused Gangadhar Reddy, who was arrested by CBI sleuths from Patna, joined investigations in Chandigarh on Monday. The CBI has also nabbed seven experts from a hotel in Hyderabad on charge of helping Reddy in solving the question paper.

Two of the young women candidates are said to be only matriculates, while some are pursuing BSc and MSc courses. These "candidates" were to be paid anywhere between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 2 lakh.

Who is Gurivi Reddy?
P Gurivi Reddy, the 31-year-old kingpin, is a medical dropout from Hyderabad. His name had earlier surfaced in an Engineering, Agriculture and Medicine Common Entrance Test (EAMCET)-2010 in Hyderabad. Reddy had taken up to Rs. 10 lakh from students who were helped in cheating in EAMCET exam. But at that time too, his plan had fizzled out and he was arrested from Hyderabad. Reddy, sources said, began building up his gang about four years back. He was found cheating in a medical examination using sophisticated pen-scanners and micro-earphones with Bluetooth facility and arrested by Andhra Pradesh police. Reddy had ordered for specially stitched clothes for women candidates appearing in PGI entrance test. CBI sources asserted that Reddy was under debt after losing big money in the share market. He then hatched a plan to form a gang of cheaters to help medical students pass exams.


A recap
Recce: Kingpin P Gurivi Reddy conducted a recce at Chandigarh for two days before finalising his plan to help candidates in their entrance test. The gang carried out a "dummy run" by scanning dummy papers and transmitting the same to outstation experts after reaching the city on November 8. The Bluetooth devices were also checked to rule out any last minute glitches.

Dummy candidates: Seven women dummy candidates were sent to examination centres set up in Chandigarh schools. In their special suits were hidden tablets and buttonhole cameras. They clicked images of question papers through spy camera and transmitted these through the tablet.

Base camp: A base camp was set up at a Sector 35 hotel from where the questions were transmitted to experts stationed in Hyderabad and Patna.

Experts: The experts in Hyderabad and Patna dictated the answers to the several beneficiaries at several exam centres through micro earphones.

End users: Several candidates took the help of the gang. At least 20 more candidates wearing Bluetooth apparatuses were helped with answers by the experts. These persons managed to escape action during the CBI raid.

CBI raids at PGI Exam centers, 7 arrested

The CBI has conducted raids at all 11 exam centers where the PGI was conducting the entrance exam for its MD and MS courses in Chandigarh.

Sources said the CBI detained seven students who were using bluetooth devices during the exam for cheating. Sources also said that some middlemen have also been arrested. The raids were carried out on a secret tip off to the investigating agency.The raid is still underway.

Clarity on Neet only on Nov. 22

The state government on Friday said that it can provide some clarity on the National-Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for admission to post-graduate medical courses only after the Supreme Court delivers its final verdict on this matter on November 22.

About 50,000 students from Andhra Pradesh have registered for the first-ever Neet to be held from November 23 to December 6.

But since November 6, when the AP High Court granted a stay on the implementation of the test, students are not sure whether they must take the test or not.

Speaking to reporters, the minister for medical education, Mr Kondru Murali, said that if the Supreme Court exempts the state from Neet, the government will conduct its own entrance for PG medical admissions in February 2013. “The government understands the concerns of PG medical aspirants. However, it cannot take any decision on this issue at this stage. We will have clarity on Neet based on the SC verdict,” he said.

HC stays PG medical National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test

HYDERABAD: The AP High Court on Tuesday stopped the Medical Council of India (MCI) from going ahead with its National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) for postgraduate (PG) medical courses for the academic year 2013. The test is scheduled to be held on Nov 23. The HC had in October stayed the same for undergraduate (UG) course.

A division bench comprising Justices V Eswaraiah and N Ravi Shankar ordered a stay after hearing a plea by the state government which said it was aggrieved by the way MCI had planned NEET. The state government accused both the Centre and the MCI of ignoring the special rights conferred to Andhra Pradesh under Article 371(D) of the Constitution. Article 371(D) allows AP to have zone-wise reservations to help its backward areas. Additional advocate general KG Krishna Murthy told the bench that MCI's NEET notification would adversely affect the interests of students from the state. The bench directed the Union health ministry and the MCI to file their counters within two weeks.
