DESAM demands cancelation of candidate

IMPHAL | July 31

 Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has demanded that the candidate Neha Jain who cleared the NEET examination in 4th rank must not be allowed to be listed under state quota reserved for Manipur.

DESAM seeks to find out how the student from Rajasthan managed to get a domicile of Manipur state and allowed to be included in the list for the state quota, said a release. The student body has demanded for immediate action against those who are involved in allowing a non-local to own a false domicile certificate in order to study MBBS.

 It said the candidate must not be enrolled amongst the 105 candidates of RIMS and JNIMS in regards to the admission for MBBS.

The government and authorities concerned must initiate an enquiry into the issue and cancel the candidate within 5 days, or extreme measures will be taken up, it added. The demands stated by DESAM are also backed up by other student bodies like Imphal College Students’ Union and Oriental College Student’s Union.

In another matter, DESAM has expressed that the exclusion of DM College of Teachers Education amongst the list of institutions to be included under a cluster university, is a wrong decision made by the government.

DESAM urged that the state cabinet must include the teacher training college in the Dhanamanjuri University Bill – 2017, which is to be produced at the house.
