There are brokers active in the fake nursing college network. There were constant complaints about the brokers doing misappropriation in admission. Admissions are given in one college and studies are conducted in another college. Similarly fees are being deposited in the name of some other college. Most nursing colleges have neither labs nor expert teachers.
