In Tamil Nadu, Donations are a public menace for the students joining Engineering Colleges. The Tamil Nadu Government is a silent spectator. I think the management quota should be eliminated and all the seats should be given for allotment through counselling. Donations are encouraged because of panic-striken OC candidates who prefer through management quota since they are afraid of getting seats through Counselling due to big quota allotted to SC/ST candidates.
My relative went to reputed Panimalar Engineering College. He and his wife were asked to give away their cell phones while entering the Principal's room in order to avoid phone recording of conversation demanding donations. The college demanded Rs.7,00,000/- as donation. My relative returned dumb-founded.
Our Courts should only take the initiative in this regard.
