SRINAGAR, Nov 11: The J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations has cancelled the provisional selection of five candidates for MBBS admission under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category after medical reassessments found them ineligible for benchmark disability, the prescribed condition for availing the reservation benefit.
The decision, issued through five separate notifications, followed assessments by the Standing Medical Board at Government Medical College Srinagar, through its associated SMHS Hospital.
The Board withdrew the candidates' selections after the medical panel found that their disabilities either fell below the prescribed threshold or did not qualify under the relevant criteria.
Besides cancelling the selections, JKBOPEE has recommended that the Health and Medical Education Department initiate action under Section 91 of the RPwD Act against the candidates and take steps to get their disability certificates cancelled through the respective Chief Medical Officers who issued them.
Following the Board's decisions, Government Medical College Handwara issued Office Order No. 234 GMCH of 2026 on November 10, formally cancelling ab initio the conditional/provisional admissions of all five candidates. Copies with CTN read as under;-
