Even as lakhs of students battle it out for every precious seat in a government professional college, the state has decided to alter its clientele from the economically weak and middle class to the NRIs, who come with their high disposal income.
In a contentious move, the Maharastra government has decided to divert seats from the merit quota to make way for the rich and the mighty in its aided institutes.
The draft bill-Maharastra Private Professional Educational Institutions (regulation of admissions and fees) Act, 2008-states that aided colleges will be allowed to give 10% of their seats in each course to foreign or non-resident Indians.
What's even shocking is that these students will not be subjected to take any entrance test, which is a pre-requisite for any student aspiring to enrol in a professional course.

This is completely unfair,actually there are hardly any NRI's for occupying 10% of the seats,at the end colleges mostly sell off these seats to the rich people who can shell out huge amount just for a seat.Its very demotivating for the students who are working hard and scoring high,unnecessarily its increasing the competition and frustrations .There are reservations for NRI's for OBC,SC ,etc etc ,wat abt the people who do not fall under these ??
