pay up to grab mba seats!!!!!!!!

CLEARING THE CAT and CET and getting through a good institute for MBA is the dream of most students these days. As they say, “it is not easy to bell the cat” and when aspiring students fail to get the qualifying marks, they look at other means of admissions. The easiest is to convince their parents to pay money and buy a seat for them.
The amount to be paid varies from college to college. The paid seats could exceed Rs 13 lakh, and this does not include the regular fee, which is Rs 2.5 lakh in some colleges and around Rs 4 lakh for one year in others. Some colleges reserve around 260 seats for merit students and the remaining 200 seats are up for sale. Less reputed colleges also ask for Rs 5 to Rs 8 lakh as donation.
Even after paying a huge sum of money, there is no guarantee that the student will get admission. Parents desperate to get their children admitted are often cheated by people who claim that they can guarantee admission if a certain amount of money is paid to them. At times, they are beaten in this race by NRIs, as they can offer more money to the colleges.
Such practices show the extent to which our education system has deteriorated. Education is up for sale and money matters more than merit. It is disheartening to note that even though everyone is aware of these practices, no action is taken against to stop this malpractice.
