Vyapam director Lakshakar Bhaskar took action after receiving several complaints from students and said “I came to know about the issue in August this year. I called up officials of the agency, but they continued with it till date. As the issue is serious, I have written a letter to the principal secretary, science and technology department to look into the matter.”
Vyapam receives more than 20 lakh forms and they need agencies like the accused to process these applications. They would have to replace the private agnecy with a new one or set things right .
