No matter how good marks a student scores, he would not be left with another option but to pay a donation to get admission in science and commerce streams in pre- university in Bangalore. Donations sometimes going beyond Rs.50,000 and Rs. 1,00,000, according to news reports.

The students scoring more than 80 per cent marks in their Secondary School Leaving Certificate exam are facing this problem to get admission in some reputed college.

The pre- university department Bangalore is jam-packed with complaints from students and their parents for not getting admission without giving donations even if their wards have gained more than 90 per cent marks.

Some colleges are believed to be lying about not left with having seats for the students with good scores and the parents feel that this is being said deliberately in order to get donations, even from the students who deserve those seats.
