The gang charged Rs 15 lakh per student, they said.
In April, the institute complained to cops about possible fraudulent practices being carried during online tests for NMAT 2013.
During the course of the investigation, cops had caught seven accused who used to charge Rs 15 lakh per student to ensure that they clear the NMAT test.
