In the meantime, the head of commerce explained to the college's internal investigation committee that he did not recall the batch Nikhil Thomas studied in. When Nikhil Thomas applied for admission to the M.Com programme, the Commerce HOD, Sony P Joy, admitted to the committee that he had forgotten the batch that Nikhil had studied in.
According to the committee's report, the institution was not at fault for admitting Nikhil because it did so on the basis of a university-issued eligibility (equivalence) certificate. As a result, the report did not suggest that any students at college be subjected to disciplinary action.
On Wednesday evening, the college's principal issued an email to the university that addressed all the issues brought up. The investigation claims that Nikhil Thomas, as well as the university, are both accountable. In a swift response to the university's explanatory notice, the college stated its position.
On the other hand, Kerala University nullified the M.Com registration of Nikhil Thomas. Vice Chancellor Prof Mohanan Kunnummal also directed the college to take back the B.Com equivalency certificate submitted by Nikhil Thomas.
