“The rate for admission in the PG course in certain medical colleges in the state has gone up to even Rs 1.5 crore. The under-hand dealings are made by agents who work for certain medical colleges.”
These revelations were made when police interrogated Komal Pandey, who was recently arrested for running a racket regarding admission in medical colleges. She told police that there are agents who contact the aspirants and the money reaches the college authorities in cash.

“She says that in some colleges, the management is not only fully aware, but is also a part of this syndicate. The seats are up for sale in PG courses and there are similar rates for admission in MBBS also,” the official added.
