‘Enrolment done for those colleges where there were no students’
Petitioner Vishal Baghel also accused the then registrar Anita Chand that she has illegally issued enrolment of students of session 2022-23 of many such nursing colleges of Gwalior, in which not a single student has been found to take admission in the session 2022-23 in the CBI investigation report.
Despite that, the then registrar bypassed the CBI report and opened the portal for enrolment of students shown as admitted fraudulently on backdate. The High Court has also directed the Nursing Council to present files related to enrolment in the High Court.
