CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has commenced inquiry into allegations that the authorities of the Government Dental College and Hospital in Pudukkottai are giving “special treatment” to a third-year BDS student.
In their complaint to the registrar of the university and the examinations controller on August 11, the students alleged though the third-year student, who got the admission under All India Quota (AIQ), was absent from March to July and fell short of the mandatory attendance percentage (75%) prescribed, his records were fraudulently updated to show he had sufficient attendance.
The students further alleged an assistant professor at the college along with the administration and office staff helped the student in the malpractice.
