ED Scoops Out Fraud in Private Medical College Admissions in Greater Noida

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has uncovered a massive fraud in private medical college admissions, exposing a well-organized racket involving fake seats, inflated fees, and bribes. Investigations reveal that several private institutions allegedly colluded with agents to sell MBBS and other medical seats at exorbitant prices, bypassing official merit lists. The ED found evidence of money laundering, with crores funneled through shell companies and bogus donations.

Authorities suspect that some colleges manipulated the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) rankings, favoring wealthy students over deserving candidates. Fake documents, including forged eligibility certificates, were used to secure admissions. The ED has seized assets worth 50 crore and arrested multiple middlemen, with high-profile educators under scrutiny.

This scam highlights systemic corruption in medical education, raising concerns over transparency and accountability. The ED s crackdown follows complaints from students and parents, prompting calls for stricter oversight in private medical college admissions to prevent exploitation.
