The University of Kerala has decided to permanently debar former Students’ Federation of India (SFI) leader Nikhil Thomas who has been accused of furnishing a forged degree certificate to gain MCom admission at MSM College in Kayamkulam.
A Syndicate meeting chaired by Vice-Chancellor in-charge Mohanan Kunnummal on Tuesday also resolved to tighten the university’s verification mechanism to prevent similar admission frauds.
Besides facing the invalidation of the results of all BCom examinations that he had written in the University of Kerala, Mr. Thomas will also be barred from pursuing any course or appearing for examinations conducted by the university in the future.
