@bluffy : The year COMED-K was started, there wasn't any counselling. At that time, it was just an eye wash. Back then, there was a committe which oversaw admissions based on management quota. Their requirement was that admissions to management quota be made on the basis of merit and not otherwise. The CET cell also required a copy of applications being made under the Management quota to be sent to them. But this wasn't done by all candidates going for admission under management quota. As a result, you could pay a donation of 3 lakh, and the college would furnish a list of candidates and their ranks, and would claim that these were the only students that applied under the management quota and their admission was done based on merit. Look at their ranks on the list.
Someone finally realised that.. Now you have counselling for colleges under COMED-K as well. This ensures that admissions under COMED are done as per merit. If you pay anything higher than the fees stated by the fee structures of COMED-K/CET, your seat is a management seat.
