Medical oath row in T.N.: DME claims Deans already told to follow routine admission process

The Director of Medical Education (DME), R. Narayana Babu, claimed that Madurai Medical College, where Charak Shapath was administered to freshers, had violated two instructions — one from the Health Department and another from the DME — to get clarification on any new/fake circulars from the department and to follow "routine" process of admission issued in Febraury.

Dr. Narayana Babu, who held an enquiry into the April 30 incident, here on Tuesday, told reporters that he would send the report to the State government for further action.

The DME said the students' council had admitted that it was their decision to go with Charak Shapath, instead of Hippocratic Oath, that had been traditionally taken in all medical colleges over decades.
