The Bombay High Court upheld JBIMS' decision to cancel the admissions of three students who had allegedly secured entry using forged academic documents. The court said completing most of the course or securing placement could not override admission fairness. It also stressed that officials who enabled irregularities must be examined.

Mumbai, September 1, 2026: The Bombay High Court has upheld the cancellation of admissions of three students to the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS), who had taken admission to the prestigious institute on the basis of forged academic documents, holding that completing almost the entire course or securing placement could not override the need to maintain fairness and integrity in the admission process.

HC Upholds Admission Cancellations

A division bench of Justices Riyaz Chagla and Farhan Dubash dismissed petitions filed by Yash Pramod Gaikwad, Vishal Gupta and Gautam Nair, whose admissions to the two-year Master of Management Studies (MMS) course had been cancelled in March.

The court noted that the students had secured admission under the Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries (CIWGC) category. The institute later found serious discrepancies between the academic credentials submitted during admission and their actual university records.
