Kayamkulam: Manager of MSM college has revealed that SFI leader Nikhil Thomas had secured admission using his political influence.

It should be noted that Nikhil stands accused of securing admission to a post graduate course using a fake BCom certificate.

“The young leader secured admission using his political influence. He came in through ‘strong’ recommendations. The university vaguely verified his ‘eligibility’, before letting him in,” said college manager Hilal Babu to Mathrubhumi News.

Nikhil had been a BCom student at Kayamkulam MSM College from 2018 to 2020. However, controversy arose when he joined the MCom program at the same college in 2021, raising doubts about whether he had successfully completed his B.Com studies.

To facilitate his admission, Nikhil purportedly submitted a BCom certificate from Kalinga University for the academic year 2018-2019. The current predicament revolves around the question of how he managed to study at both Kayamkulam College and Kalinga University simultaneously. 

Following a complaint on this issue, the SFI removed Nikhil Thomas from his positions on the District Committee and as Kayamkulam Area Secretary.
