Fake EWS Certificate: MBBS Admission Cancelled at SNMMCH

Dhanbad, Jharkhand – Shahid Nirmal Mahto Medical College and Hospital (SNMMCH) has cancelled an MBBS candidate’s admission. The institution lodged an FIR against the individual. The cancellation follows the submission of a fake Economically Weaker Section (EWS) certificate.

Admission Revoked Following Scrutiny

The candidate, a male resident from Maharajganj district in Uttar Pradesh, secured admission at SNMMCH on December 4 . This admission was granted under the EWS quota, following success in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). The EWS quota provides reservation for financially disadvantaged students. During the admission process, the candidate presented an EWS certificate. This document was reportedly issued by the circle office located in Giridih district, Jharkhand.

Dr. Ganesh Kumar, SNMMCH admission in-charge, confirmed the termination of the admission. He detailed the critical timeline leading to the decision. The Giridih circle office formally informed SNMMCH that the submitted EWS certificate had already been cancelled. This cancellation by the issuing authority occurred on December 5 , just one day after the candidate’s provisional admission. The revocation followed a thorough scrutiny process by the Giridih officials.

Legal Consequences and Official Statements

Following the verification, SNMMCH officials took immediate legal action. An FIR (First Information Report) has been officially lodged against the candidate. The complaint was filed at the Saraidhela police station in Dhanbad. This step emphasizes the serious legal ramifications associated with submitting fraudulent documents for academic admissions in India.

“We have also lodged an FIR in Saraidhela police station against the candidate,” Dr. Kumar stated. He highlighted the institution’s commitment to maintaining integrity in its admission processes. The swift action taken by both the Giridih circle office and SNMMCH underscores vigilance against document fraud.

Impact on Available Seats and Precedent

The cancellation created a vacant seat in the highly competitive MBBS program at SNMMCH. The medical college currently has an approved intake of 100 MBBS seats , as sanctioned by the National Medical Commission (NMC). College authorities have promptly informed the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) about the newly available slot. This notification allows for the possibility of reallocating the seat to another eligible candidate.

This incident is not isolated for SNMMCH during the current admission cycle. Medical college authorities reported this as the second instance of an MBBS aspirant’s admission being cancelled. Both cancellations occurred during the ongoing 2025-26 session admissions. These recurring incidents underscore the stringent verification procedures now in place. They also serve as a cautionary tale for all applicants regarding the submission of authentic documents.
