LUCKNOW: Prof PC Saxena, who also held the post of director (education) in the Ayurved directorate, took over as the director of Ayurved in Lucknow on Saturday. He will replace former director Prof SN Singh, who was suspended last week after the alleged AYUSH admission scam came to light.
The alleged scam is related to admission in Ayush schools in 2021-22. The counseling was conducted in 2021 to select candidates against 7,338 seats in homeopathy, ayurveda, and unani colleges. A total of 6,797 seats — including those in government and private colleges under AYUSH — have been allotted. Among them, 891 allocations were identified as questionable.
Out of these 891 questionable allotments, nine students never even took the NEET exam. Despite this, they got seats in colleges and accepted admission. As per the norm, admission is given only to those candidates who appear for the NEET exam.
