The newspaper report states that when these students were assured of admission in other colleges, then why were they given fake offer letters. The newspaper writes that Brijesh Mishra, the agent who provided fake offer letters to these 700 students of India, has disappeared at present. It used to run a firm called Education Migration Services in Jalandhar, Punjab and used to extort lakhs of rupees from each student in the name of providing documents for admission in foreign colleges. Generally, after passing the 14th examination, many students approach agents or consultancy companies to obtain study visa to study in foreign colleges. They provide their educational proofs, IELTS qualification certificate and financial documents to the agents. Based on this, a file is prepared by the consultant, in which the students mention their preferences for educational institutions and courses. The consultancy also gives its inputs for the selection of colleges and courses.
