(UTV|COLOMBO) – One of Japan’s most prestigious medical universities has apologised for tampering with entrance exam scores to limit its intake of female students.
An internal investigation found that Tokyo Medical University (TMU) had been manipulating the scores of female applicants from as early as 2006.
It also marked down the scores of male applicants who had taken the entrance test at least four times.
TMU has said the alterations should never have happened.
The university also admitted to adding extra points to the scores of 19 students who had made donations to the school.
