Documents of 778 candidates who secured admission in MBBS and BDS under the state quota by availing reservation benefits are under scrutiny after fake certificates came to light during NEET UG 2026 counseling.
The expanded document verification covers candidates who benefited from reservations such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), and dependents of freedom fighters.
