Touts Setting Shops near Colleges in Noida as Admissions Season Begin

The race to get admission in different management and technical colleges in Noida and Greater Noida has started. Students, who had appeared in the Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Examination (UPSEE), on April 22, are now trying to secure a seat in private colleges in courses such as B.Tech., MBA, B.Pharma, B.Arch., etc.

But as always the admission season has spelled a boom in business for touts. Touts, posing as college students, camp near the campus to attract students who have not performed well and are doubtful if they will be able to get through the university cut-offs. According to university officials, touts posing as 'agents' promise seats to students.

"People in swanky cars came to the university and told us that they could help us secure seats in good colleges, irrespective of whether our names figured on the cut-off list or not. They asked for our certificates and copies of the admission forms and a 'security deposit'," said Abhishek (name changed), a B.Tech aspirant.

Over the years, Noida and Greater Noida have emerged as hubs of engineering and management institutes affiliated either to Mahamaya Technical University (MTU) or Gautam Buddha Technical University (GBTU). There are 408 colleges affiliated to MTU and 307 to GBTU. While MTU has a campus in Noida, GBTU operates from its campus in Lucknow.

“Colleges have started charging extra fee from this season. Earlier, one needed to pay Rs. 5 lakh donation to secure a B.Tech. seat, but now it costs nothing less than Rs. 7 lakh. Of this, 25% is our share. To escape the scrutiny, the transactions are carried out secretively,” said a tout.

Knowledge Park in Greater Noida has around 87 technical institutes and is a heaven for touts, who are trying to make good money during the season of admissions.

According to sources, the admission fee in engineering colleges is between Rs. 2 lakh and Rs. 7 lakh, and for management courses it can go up to Rs. 10 lakhs.

"The colleges cannot give admission to a student on their own. There is a procedure which all colleges have to follow. The university will fill the seats through the counseling process," said an official from MTU, requesting not to be named.

However, the university officials have warned students to not to fall in such traps and follow the admission terms and guidelines.

“Students should keep following the university's website. We are regularly updating admission information on it. They should either download the form, or come to the campus to collect it. There should be no other way to get admission," said a Professor of MTU.

B.Tech courses in computer science, information technology and electronics and communication are in high demand. The admission fee may vary from college to college, with the minimum pegged at Rs. 3-4 lakh per course.
