So you, your spouse, your son, your daughter, your brother/sister all head to different colleges in the city. All of you stand in queues whose length is anywhere near 1 km. You stand there for minimum 4 hours, then you pay around 500 rupees and buy the application form and prospectus. Next day same steps are repeated, and this is for submitting the filled application form. Then you wait eagerly for the admission list to be announced to find which of these colleges your child has got the admission.
Parents have to apply for multiple colleges because they are not sure where the child will get admission. In spite of government ruling that the colleges should not charge for application form and prospectus, they do charge hundreds of rupees.
