PGET Malpractice: All Debarred From Same Centre

Of the 17 centres where the PGET was conducted on Sunday, all the 52 candidates who were caught indulging in malpractice had two things in common -- they were all from the same centre and all made markings on the question paper. According to RGUHS, the candidates took the test at MS Ramaiah Medical College centre.

Surprisingly, of the 52 debarred, 51 were dental aspirants and just one was a medical candidate. In fact, officials too are stumped as to how 52 candidates could have indulged in malpractice and, that too, at the same centre.

According to rules, students are not allowed to write/mark on the question booklet and it is considered a `malpractice.'

For Post Graduate Entrance Test (PGET)-2009, 7,974 candidates registered for medical stream and 7,631 appeared. In dental, 2,477 registered and 2,400 appeared, bringing the total number of candidates in both streams to 10,031.
