As per the admission norms, a student cannot claim birth in more than one state in an academic year while applying for admission in medical colleges.
Action against 21 year old MBBS student from Kerala who got admission in prestigious Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical in Puducherry Education & Research (JIPMER) has now canceled his admission claiming double birth. The order to cancel the seat has been given by the Medical Advisory Committee of the Central Directorate General of Health Services to the director of the JIPEMR Institute.
There is a rule that a student cannot claim to be a native of more than one state in one academic year while applying for admission to a medical college.
Khalid scored 99.30 percentile in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) last year and got admission in JIPMER under the domicile quota, but his admission was challenged by another medical student, 18-year-old Saminathan S. Now Khalid’s admission has come as the court noted that he had availed the benefit of double birth as a native of Puducherry and Kerala and the seat has been given to Saminathan.

MCC clearly said, Khalid got the seat by breaking the rules, hence his seat was cancelled. The seat has been asked to be given to Saminathan. But the Medical Council Committee will see to the filling of the vacant seats.
Petitioner Saminathan, who secured a seat at JIPMER’s Karaikal campus, which is considered secondary to the Puducherry centre, demanded that Khalid’s admission be canceled as he had misled the authorities by filing a false affidavit. Though Khalid denied any wrongdoing, the report submitted by the DME confirmed that he had claimed to be born in Kerala in the 2022-23 academic session as well.
