When we surf the net under this topic, one finds pages of middlemen offering to help especially for private colleges.
But my experience says that it is always better to approach the office directly first. Maybe if that doesn't work out and if one is very keen on that particular college then one can go to the person offering to help.
Last year I approached both the means for a particular deemed college. The amount quoted was double. Think they wanted me to negotiate with them. When I approached the office directly it sounded more reasonable.
The people at the office asked me to pay half of the amount within 10 days and said that the amount would be adjusted if the child gets through counselling, else the remaining amount could be paid and the seat could be obtained. Thought that it sounded less demanding than any of the state private colleges too ....like SVCE or RMK...
One thing is certain, there are more than the required number of seats existing in most of these colleges. As a number of seats taken on counselling days are cancelled later by students when they get a seat in IITs and NITs. Moreover as these deemed universities are the first ones to start their counselling , many pay
the initial amount and book it as a backup. I found almost all the scholarships given by this University taken up by these children which went wasted later on, as they discontinued their admission in these deemed colleges and went to better pastures.
I am sure if the student is good who the parent thinks is capable of pursuing engineering he is sure enough to clear at least a couple of the entrances conducted by these universities (being a CBSE student). My sincere advice would be that the child should peruse engineering only if he thinks that he has the aptitude.
Sometimes this period of admission seeking is like a zigzag puzzle falling into place. The picture will finally get completed. We just need to wait plan and proceed .
Good luck and best wishes...
