Ten people have been arrested for participating in a scam that blocked government quota seats in Karnataka's private engineering colleges and converted them to expensive 'management' seats. The police were able to uncover the scam after noticing that over 2,600 students did not enroll in the seats they had chosen during the counselling rounds. These students were unaware that seats had been blocked under their names, and some had even opted for other courses or joined prestigious institutions like IIT. The scam has raised questions about the transparency and fairness of the admission process in Karnataka's professional colleges, and efforts are being made to arrest other key individuals involved in the scam.
