Dear Sri Pankaj Sen.
Thank you so much for addressing such an issue in your post. Frankly speaking, it made me quite emotional as I compelled to travel down memory lane. you are absolutely right; it is not justified. Unfortunately, it has become a trend to collect money for certain institutions. The people there can very well boast that they have not only saved organization's money, but also earned some money for the organization. I have reasons to make such comment as I myself have listened to (as a professional expert in an interview) such boastful comments!!
Well, I admit that conducting an interview requires money and the institutes should charge some money to (a) keep the number of applicants limited among those who are genuinely interested and to get rid of casual applicants and (b) to collect a portion of expenditure incurred towards advertisement, postage, processing and other administrative charges.
Now majority of organizations do not pay TA to the candidates appearing in the interview. As such, It is also enigmatic to me why a good amount of money (I noticed ads asking for even Rs.500/- to candidates as application fees!!) is demanded as application fees!! I personally feel that all professional Associations should come forward and be vocal against such activities and the application fees to be restricted to some bearable amount (say Fifty Rupees as the maximum)
With Regards,
