Police claimed to have busted an MBA entrance test racket, with the arrest of six people. The prime accused has been identified as Alok Kumar, a BTech graduate who cleared the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) entrance test several times by impersonating real applicants.

A total of 87 students cleared the NMIMS Management Aptitude Test (NMAT) for the MBA batch of 2013, police said, adding that 22 students cleared the test and got admissions in 2011.

Modus operandi

The gang charged Rs 15 lakh per student, they said. Explaining the modus operandi, Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy said the the gang looked for prospective candidates who desired NMIMS admissions but had no capability to clear the online NMAT aptitude test on their own.

“The gang promised students passing marks in the exam through management quota. For online exam, a student could approach any of the centres spread all over India. The accused filled up the admission form of students online, where photographs of applicants were not required,” Roy said.

“The gang then prepared a driving licence, Aadhaar card or PAN card with the original details of students, but attached a photograph of Alok Kumar, who visited different examination centres and appeared for the aptitude test,” he said.
