Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) has debarred five more candidates from consideration for admission to MBBS/BDS courses against the 85 per cent Punjab State Quota seats for the 2026-27 academic session after finding that they had simultaneously applied for state quota seats in another state or Union Territory (UT).In a public notice issued by the university, the Registrar, BFUHS, said the candidates were found, upon verification, to have violated the conditions for admission under the Punjab State Quota. Four of the five candidates are from Haryana and one is from Chandigarh, according to the notice.The action was taken under Clause 18 of the Punjab Government notification dated July 10, 2026, which lays down the conditions for candidates seeking admission against the Punjab State Quota.
