Question:
Asslamualaikum,Recently I am admitted to a government university. The basis of selection is marks in undergraduation, entry test and interview which I passed easily.For document submission there was a medical certificate signed by the candidate (in the presence of doctor) and doctor. Here mostly this type of certificate is signed by a doctor having some reference like friend of friend etc. other. I was busy in my job so this form was signed by me and given to my brother who get it signed from a doctor even without physically checking me. Alhamdulillah generally I am physically OK. And there were some measuments in that form that he told to fill by myself like heighy, weight etc. that i filled correctly. On othet physical standards were in form that doctor approved and signed but i dnt met that doctor. Is it valid admission or any issue. I did try to do the best i could.
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
The medical certificate is intended to show that the candidate does suffer from any contagious disease and the like, which can affect his admittance in the university.
If this certificate was signed by the doctor without him examining the student, then this is considered fraud and deception, and this is not permissible.
The fact that some students did so does not make it permissible for you to do the same thing.
You can correct this by issuing a real medical certificate and submitting it instead of the first one, if possible. If this is not possible, then you get a medical certificate (undergo the required medical checkup) to make sure that you fulfill the condition (of being admitted). Thereafter, if you are accepted in the university, then there is no harm in joining it. However, you should seek the forgiveness of Allah for what you have done, regret it and be determined not to return to it again.
Allah knows best.
