Kochi: As India expresses solidarity with Anna Hazare on the issue of corruption, a recent judgement by the Kerala High Court showed that there are many in the country who will prefer it the wrong way.
On Wednesday, the HC nullified the medical entrance exams conducted by 11 private colleges and asked the state government to take over all the seats for making fresh admissions.
The colleges are accused of charging enormous sums in the form of capitation fees for admissions.
At least 500 students will have their careers in jeopardy after this judgement. They had agreed to pay the amount in order to 'smoothly pass' the entrance exams.
The court also slammed the state government for not keeping a tab on such colleges.
Acting on a student's petition alleging flouting of rules by the management, Justice Antony Dominic delivered the judgment.
According to reports, one of the colleges was caught on camera asking for a student to pay more than Rs.3 million as capitation fees.
Meanwhile, the association of private medical colleges have said that they will appeal against the verdict.
