Engineering Minority Quota Admission Fraud Sparks Regulatory Probe in Nagpur Allegations of fraudulent use of forged documents to secure admissions under the minority quota in engineering colleges have prompted a regulatory investigation in Nagpur. The Maharashtra State Minorities Commission has ordered an inquiry into the matter, while the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has called for strict action against those involved. The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) has reportedly issued notices to students admitted through the minority quota at several institutions, citing suspicions of fake documentation during the admission process. Students from colleges including GH Raisoni Institute of Engineering and Technology (Wadi), GH Raisoni College of Engineering (Hingna), Priyadarshini College of Engineering (Hingna), Priyadarshini Bhagwati College of Engineering (Nandanvan), and JD College of Engineering (Kalmeshwar Road) are believed to be under scrutiny. The Admission Regulating Authority (ARA) has summoned these students for questioning as part of the probe. The DTE and ARA are required to provide detailed reports to the Maharashtra State Minorities Commission to assess the extent of misuse of the minority quota. Commission chairman Pyare Khan emphasized the gravity of the allegations, stating that they directly impact the rights of genuine minority students. The probe follows concerns that ineligible candidates may have exploited the quota system, undermining the integrity of admissions. The NSUI has demanded stringent measures to address the issue, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in the recruitment process.#maharashtra_state_minorities_commission #national_students_union_of_india #gh_raisoni_college_of_engineering #directorate_of_technical_education #gh_raisoni_institute_of_engineering_and_technology
