The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday registered four new cases in connection with the rigging of answer-sheets and results related to entrance examinations at the undergraduate level and for three post graduate courses in AIIMS.

The agency registered the first case in connection with the post graduate exam held in January 2010 where answer-sheets of seven students were allegedly interpolated.

All the students whose sheets were allegedly rigged got admissions in MD/MS courses in other medical colleges, CBI spokesperson Dharini Mishra said.

The scores of the AIIMS post graduate entrance facilitates admission in other medical colleges too.

The agency has also registered another case at the undergraduate entrance examination level in AIIMS. The exam was held in June last year and six answer-sheets were allegedly interpolated, of which one of the students managed to secure admission in the prestigious institute.

The two other cases pertain to the AIIMS PG Examination in November 2010 and January 2011, in which answer-sheets were fudged to ensure admission in the scarce post graduate seats at the institute and other medical colleges.

In the November 2010 case, the answer-sheets of eight candidates were interpolated.

"As a result all the eight candidates were successful in getting ranks in the merit list and out of them three candidates also took admission in MD/MS course in different departments in AIIMS," Mishra said.

She said in the January 2011 PG admissions, answer-sheets of four candidates were interpolated and as a result, all the four candidates had succeeded in getting admissions in MD/MS courses in different medical colleges.

Earlier, on June 2, the CBI had registered a case pertaining to manipulation and rigging of the AIIMS PG Entrance Exam 2011, held on May 8, in which six persons including the kingpin of the racket was arrested.
