NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has warned against a fake letter issued regarding the College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) Diploma programme under the name of the Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) secretary.
“It has come to the notice of the Post Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) that a letter dated 29.05.2023 with the signature of under secretary, PGMEB regarding students under training of CPS Diploma course, future training examination and recognition is being circulated. The said letter is fake and has not been issued by the PGMEB,” said the board in an official notice.
The fake letter said that a special committee meeting was held for the CPS course students wherein it was decided that the final exam of such students will be held by CPS till December as per its own pattern, qualified students will be allotted 6-month training in the institute, and a final exam will be conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) as per its pattern. Those students who qualify the final exam will be recognised by NMC, it said.
