@DeepPsycho_HQ Partially agree but must watch biopic on making of AK 47. It may help in assessing that the said statement is not absolute.

@spkalantri We don't believe in paying doctors for opinion because it's just an opinion.
We are happier spending on irrelevant health packages and investigation, self medicating with old prescriptions, relatives prescriptions with inadequate / overdosing dosing in pediatrics.
Sad affair.....

Another DNB thesis lands in my inbox—joining its MD cousins.

My task is to evaluate it. A formality, really. The postgraduate has written it, the professor has supervised it—or so the paperwork claims.
I enter the username, type the password, and open the file—without hope.

An immaculate PDF appears. Crisp formatting. Polished grammar. Elegant English. Tables aligned with military precision. P-values refusing to cross the 𝘓𝘢𝘹𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘬𝘩𝘢- the 0.05 threshold. It looks like research, but it isn’t science.

There is no question, no curiosity, no wonder. Only data, arranged to pass. Methods are borrowed. Results, brazenly copied. Plagiarism software outwitted. This isn’t scholarship. It’s certification.

What happened?

There was a time when the thesis was a rite of passage—typed line by line, slowly, painfully. Pages corrected, retyped, carried with care and pride. Imperfect, yes, but sincere. Today, a ghostwriter assembles your thesis while you sleep. For a fee, you purchase data and lease your integrity.

Each thesis I read tells the same silent tale: borrowed questions, recycled methods, conclusions without meaning. The student doesn't understand it. The guide doesn’t care. The institution demands compliance, not curiosity.

How did we get here?

First came the software. Then the internet. Medical colleges mushroomed. Degrees multiplied. But the time to teach research disappeared. So did the desire to learn it. The rot spread—quietly, completely, from the top down.

Truth, today, is casualty.

We’ve made deception routine. We've taught our students that science is not a way of thinking, but a passport to the MD exams. That it is easier to fake findings than to ask questions. That looking like a scientist matters more than thinking like one.

This is not just bad science. This is anti-science.

And no one pauses. Not the student. Not the guide. The department head does not care. The Dean looks the other way. The examiner does not blow the whistle.

Not even the journal editor who may one day publish this charade. With in-house journals and institutions chasing publication metrics, every thesis stands a near-certain chance of getting published.

And ignored.

We are not training scientists. We are producing impostors.

We must stop. Scrap the thesis, if we must. Yes, stop them. At the very least, don’t compel students to partake in this parody. Let them learn honesty before technique. Let them fail truthfully, rather than succeed through fraud.

Sir Doug Altman, the British statistician, warned us in the 𝗕𝗠𝗝 in 1994: “𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴.”

He was right then. He is right now.

The publish-or-perish culture lives on. But the tragedy is this: we are publishing—and still perishing.

@Vivekpandey21 @NTA_Exams @Xpress_edex @careers360 @ShikshaDotCom @VishnuRajgadia @EduMinOfIndia @dpradhanbjp @medicaldialogs @AnujaJaiswalTOI @educationtimes @ndtveducation Separate examination for MBBS/BDS from allied courses viz. BAMS, Nursing, Vet Med etc
This will decrease the quantum of candidates who want to appear for MBBS/BDS entrance thus giving ease of conducting examination.
This should be done with screening and the final step.

POLLUTION CONTROL SUGGESTIONS
1. Satellite image to look for fires.
2. Red spots mapped with low flying drones.
3. Marking the areas.
4. Product of such farms not to be procured at MSP and no subsidy or loans for 5 years.
5. DM can lessen.

@SCofIndia
Neet 24 data analysis is a double edged sword.
Please do consider to reconsider.
Leak of 1 question to 1 student will give an undue edge to that student.
NEET24 is an exam for elimination. If someone cheats to get selected , someone will get unduly eliminated.

[Dr Ish Midha @midhaik]

@Indian__doctor It is not wrong to be wrong, but it is wrong to remain wrong.
In a competitive examinations leak of 1 question to 1 candidate is a significant leak to deprive 1 legitimate candidate of his legitimate right unless 1 is a very small number in country of 1.5B
May good sense prevail

[Dr Ish Midha @midhaik]

@BhavikaKapoor5 NEET 24 judgement is also an exemplary judgement where in it was admitted that leak happened, gangs involved , whatsapp used, ?OMR tempered but some new terminology " systematic leaks" was given which was not defined, that what amounts to significant systematic leak. Hail India.

I request @CBIHeadquarters to release a press statement on current status of investigation in #NEET UG Paper Leak case.

According to the news reports,
1. Arrests were made in 5 States. Localised leak?!
2. 3 arrested were granted bail. (1/2)

@VivekThakurVT I am poor at counting zeros
Rs . 50,00000/- for paper/OMR
X
10000 to 20000 rank inflation means approx 10000 Munna bhai
So
Rs. 50,00000,0000/- at least

Cost at NRI seat= 150,00000/-
Cost of same seat by paper leak= 50,00000/-

सही बात! जिन्हें पेपर तक लेने नहीं आता है वो देश चलाएंगे तो देश का फ्यूचर कचरे में ही जायेगा न!...

@akashdeepaggar6 @VivekThakurVT In competitive exams, leaks only affect toppers.
Today's toppers are tomorrow's future.
No Re-neet is a decision that must be relooked into.
Competitive exams differ from Qualifying exam.
So is the difference in impact of leaks in both types of exam.

[Dr Ish Midha @midhaik]

@VivekThakurVT We proudly say that justice will reach the last man BUT
1. Councelling start
2. Investigation incomplete
3. Admission completed
4. Councelling close at Nth position.
5. Investigation still incomplete.
6. Investigators catch tainted.
7. Tainted debarred.
Now, will the allow n+1
