Is capitation fee prevalent in engineering and architecture colleges?

Capitation Fee- This is basically the extra illegal fee that most commonly technical and medical colleges (as these are the most sought after careers) take from the students in return for an admission in the college. Mostly, this practice is done in the colleges that hold a large number of seats under management quota or the ones that are not very renowned nor are they absolutely down grade colleges. The top colleges do not have this practice, and if at all the practice is prevalent, then it is not in large scale, because all the admissions have to be justified with the National level entrance exams and only scoring students can get seats. But, in colleges where admissions takes place on the basis of internal entrance exams or just the class 12th percentages, there it is quite common to the students to face this extra fee. Although, it is illegal, a lot of students tend to pay this amount, as they are very eager to get the degree and pursue a career. It is always a better approach to prepare well rather than relying on admission based on capitation fee.
