📌 Key Highlights of This Guide

- Red flags indicating fraudulent admission agents
- Official tuition schedules approved by regulatory fee committees
- Pragati’s zero-donation transparent admission charter
Every year during entrance exam results season, unsuspecting parents receive unsolicited phone calls and WhatsApp messages promising "confirmed seats in government medical/engineering colleges" in exchange for hefty advance cash sums. Such practices are strictly illegal. Understanding how legitimate admission consulting works will protect your hard-earned money and your child’s academic future.
The Supreme Court of India on Capitation Fees
In landmark judgements (T.M.A. Pai, Islamic Academy, and P.A. Inamdar), the Supreme Court of India explicitly banned capitation fees ("donations"). Private, unaided educational institutions are permitted to maintain an Institutional / Management Quota (usually 15%), but all fees must be declared transparently through state-appointed Fee Regulatory Committees and paid strictly through authorized banking channels.
Warning Signs of Admission Scams
- Claims of Government Seats: No agency or consultancy can "sell" a seat in IITs, NITs, AIIMS, or State Government Medical Colleges. Admissions in these institutions are 100% merit-based via central counselling portals.
- Demanding Cash Advances: Never pay cash in unverified offices or personal savings bank accounts without an official institutional receipt.
- Holding Original Educational Certificates: Legitimate consultants never confiscate your original marksheets or certificates under the pretext of "booking seats."
- Guarantees for Unqualified Candidates: In medical streams, qualifying NEET UG is mandatory. Any agent claiming they can secure an MBBS seat without NEET qualification is committing outright fraud.
