Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) is awaiting final report from the Collector of Kurnool district on the alleged involvement of Kallur MRO and other officials and staff in the issue of fake integrated certificates (age, nativity and caste) that came to light on Wednesday.
A total of seven candi dates were found to have secured admission to MBBS seats in different colleges in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on the basis of fake certificates, through separate entrances tests conducted by the respective States.
This was revealed to the media by Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas.

The Hindu that verification of bona fides of the candidates during counselling exposed the irregularity and the matter was communicated to varsity officials on Wednesday. A provisional report was submitted by the Kurnool Collector. Candidates’ rank cards showed their status as OC whereas the certificates submitted during counselling gave the wrong picture that they belong to Backward Classes. “On the basis of the final report of Kurnool Collector, the fake certificates will be cancelled and when it happens, the candidates will be disqualified and criminal action will follow,” Dr. Raju said and added that the role of staff at counselling officers was being examined.
Candidates will be disqualified, says
