The fake marksheets and provisional certificates used for admission to Ramjas College are imitations of those awarded by the Central Board of Secondary Education. The college administration claims the certificates submitted by the first-year students from other boards are in order but it is yet to verify the certificates of second-year students coming from other boards. So far, 29 first-year students and five second-year students are found to have been admitted on the basis of forged marksheets and fake provisional certificates in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 sessions. Also, more cases of fake admissions may come to light if the marksheets and certificates of the third-year students are verified too. "For examining the third-year students' documents, we have to get the approval of the staff council and I am going to place this in our next meeting," said principal Rajendra Prasad. All those cases of fake admission used the CBSE marksheet pattern. We have not come across fake marksheets of any other boards so far. The team of forensic experts visited the college two days ago to examine the rest of the documents. But we have not yet examined the documents of the second-year students who are from other boards," said Prasad. The internal inquiry probing the scam will check the documents of the second-year students, he added. But the college, the only one to have come forward to lodge complaints on fake admissions so far, is yet to come out clearly on whether there were administrative lapses and why the result CDs sent by Delhi University were not used at the time of admission itself. Prasad said: "It is practically impossible to verify the documents and the university allowed us to give provisional admissions based on self-attested documents. The rush has been unprecedented." Ramjas lab assistant Suresh Chand, arrested in the case, was reportedly part of the admission committee. But Prasad claimed: "No non-teaching staff member was in the committee and Chand was an assistant. |
