Kolkata: The former students of Burdwan Medical College (BMC) said they were keeping a close watch on the fairness of examinations on the college campus. Many said they were pained by reports of some students being allowed to cheat and pass examinations with excellent marks. The Ex-Students' Association BMC (ESABMC) said they will also try to get involved in addressing the examination irregularities on the campus.
According to sources, despite a clean past, resorting to unfair means became a part of the 115-year-old medical college only in the past few years, with allegations of a handful of students being allowed to cheat in the examinations. These students, they said, are close to the lobby that has been promoting a culture of threats on medical college campuses. A particular junior doctor, suspended by the health department after the RG Kar incident, was accused of facilitating a handful of students to use unfair means.
