While this is, in all probabilities, true of said Institute, it is also true of the vast majority of privately run education institutes in India. The only difference is that said institute is national publicity-seeking, and most others fly under the radar (and fly by night :) While the original article was taken down due to the muzzling court order, an archive is available at The Internet Archive:
