Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Research Recognition Committee (RRC) of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) decided to cancel the Ph D admission taken on the basis of a bogus M Phil degree.
It may be noted that the university gives exemption from the entrance Test (PET) for the Ph D admission for those who have qualified M Phil or other examinations.
Taking advantage of this, Asma Khan, the Secretary of Kohinoor Education Society (KES) of Khuldabad and Maqsud Khan, the Joint Secretary of KES, both took admission to Ph D in Bamu in 2021 by preparing bogus M Phil degrees from Dr D Y Patil University.
Asma Khan got admission to Ph D in English. Dr Pramod Nile from her own college was the guide. Maqsud Khan, too secured admission to Ph D in Hindi at the same time. His guide was Dr Vasant Mali from Deogaon Rangari.
When this incident came to light, the RRC members, in their recent meeting, decided to cancel the admission of both of them. Accordingly, the university administration sent a letter to the concerned.
