“My daughter was first allotted NIT Allahabad, but when I reached the reporting center at Allahabad I was told that it was changed to IIIT Gwalior. When I reached Gwalior station and checked on the net her seat had once again been changed to Allahabad,” said Sanjay Seth, a parent. Several other students faced similar problems when they reached the reporting centers

Another parent added, “There has been no transparency in NIT admissions this year. The rules have been violated.”
