Many students received a letter from NIT (National Institute of Technology) Patna stating they were allotted seats in the prestigious institution. What would be good news was not as they had not even applied there!
‘I registered a complaint with the reporting centre immediately. NIT-Patna was not even in my list of preferences. Even after the complaint, my name was missing from the database. I am very tense because now admissions to all reputed engineering colleges are over’, said a city student.
A technical glitch has been the reason for the mishap. ‘The software should have been tested properly before being put to use. This is the second apology issued by the board. This is unfair to so many students who have put in years of hard work to get into the NITs’, said an education consultant.
