    Nothing surprising in this. This brokerage business for medical seats and other professional courses, under the so called management quota, has been there since a long time, and everyone is aware of it. Just that some opportunists take few gullible people and make the most of the situations. If the brokerage process didn't exist in the first place, do you think these scoundrels could prosper who cheat people. Demand versus supply concept everywhere. You see these kind of incidents everyday in our lives. Like the old saying, you will always few innocent fools along the way. Was, has and will always be.

    Commissioner and the rest should know that colleges will not display any awareness notice in their colleges, then from were will they get students and make money. They the college management have to depend on the agents. All medical, engineering, and the other colleges like nursing, physiotherapy courses, etc., are not Govt. funded and they are to make money, that is business. We all know that in business we have agents and hence in this case professional colleges and also need agents to make money.
