On June 18, 2023, the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati officially announced the (Joint Entrance Examination) JEE Advanced results 2023, marking a significant milestone in the academic careers of ambitious engineers.
This Year’s Batch of Students from Pune excelled in their academic achievement, demonstrating the city’s strength in the competitive world. Siddhant Mulkikar emerged as the Topper among the high achievers, securing an impressive All-India Rank (AIR) of 11. Followed by, Sandeep Reddy with an AIR of 64, while Rachit Belani, Aryan Mahajan, and Reeshabh Kotecha secured AIRs of 74, 79, and 89, respectively.
However, amid the Celebrations & joy, a disturbing finding has come to light, raising questions about the reliability of some educational institutions. It has come to light that PACE IIT & Medical Pune the institute that Siddhant Mulkikar is associated, has made claims regarding not only his outstanding accomplishment but also the outcomes of Aryan Mahajan and Reeshabh Kotecha. This information raises severe ethical questions because it is immoral and dishonest to include these students’ accomplishments without their association or agreement.
Adding to the this, ALLEN Career Institute Pune has also come forward, asserting that Aryan Mahajan (AIR 79), Reeshabh Kotecha (AIR 89) and Shourya Johari (AIR 215) are their students.
However, A thorough investigation reveals that Sandeep Reddy (AIR 64) and Reeshabh Kotecha (AIR 89) are both enrolled at M Prakash Institute (MPI) in Pune. M Prakash Institute has never been associated with fraudulent results or deceptive claims. It is Renowned for its trustworthiness and ethical practises. It is obvious that PACE IIT and ALLEN Pune have poached these student’s Results and thus makes us question the accuracy and integrity of their declared outcomes.
Considering these findings, it is necessary that the education industry’s leading institutes take Strict actions to get rid of such malpractices and stop the culture of result poaching. By safeguarding the Truth of academic achievements and ensuring transparency, the big names in the field can restore faith in the system and create an environment of genuine merit. The future of aspiring engineers, and the credibility of the JEE Advanced examination, demand nothing less than a firm stand against these unethical practices.
