Special teams of the CBI’s Anti-Corruption Branch perused records and found that 91 students, who were selected by Centac and given provisional admission certificate, were refused admission by deemed universities and self-financing colleges.
At the same time, 93 students who were neither selected by Centac nor issued any admission certificate were given seats by the institutions on payment of huge fee.
On Wednesday, the CBI registered an FIR against top officials, including two senior IAS officers — Narendra Kumar, chairman, Central Admissions Committee (Centac) and Development Commissioner, Puducherry, and B.R. Babu, Health Secretary — and owners or representatives of seven medical colleges or deemed universities.
