It will look into complaints made by medical aspirantsThe Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has created a five-member expert committee to look into complaints of “false nativity claims” made by aspirants to medical seats in the State. Soon after the merit list for the State seats was released by the DME, complaints arose that Mohanaprabha Ravichandran, who had been ranked second, featured on the medical merit list in Kerala State. While the Tamil Nadu medical merit list had the details of the candidates’ community the Telangana list did not provide community affiliation of the students. Ms. Mohanaprabha had secured All India Rank 62 and is placed second on the State merit list. Ever since NEET became the qualifying criteria for medical seats, certain kinds of malpractices have crept in.
