MBBS student caught copying
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, JAN 8
As if the medical paper leakage was not enough, Goa Medical College (GMC) on Saturday faced yet another embarassment when a final year MBBS student was caught copying.
The identity of the student was, however, not disclosed but sources say that the student was asked to discontinue answering exams pending inquiry.
“The paper chit has been seized by the examiner. The student was asked to stop writing his paper (Surgery I paper) and that he will be barred from answering other papers as well until the inquiry report is submitted”, said the source.
If found guilty, the student will be suspended from the GMC for one-year, the source added.
Incidentally, two question papers of the final year MBBS were leaked a week ago, which came to light after Herald exposed it in Monday’s edition.
Goa University had to abandon General Medicine I and II papers and re-scheduled it to January 13 and 14, respectively.
Sources said that there is a high possibility that Surgery paper may also have been leaked as the student caught copying had the chit of answer, question of which appeared in the original set of paper.
No GMC officials were available for comments until late Saturday night.
