You are the dean of a very prestigious engineering college. The admission process to your college is very competitive and gruesome. A meritorious student has secured very high marks and is eligible to take admission in your college. But he commits a mistake while completing his formalities in securing the admission. He clicks on the wrong link and his application is withdrawn. Now all the seats are filled and the student is unable to retrieve his seat back. There is a lot of media coverage about this incident and the student demands his seat back as it was a mistake and it will cost him a year if he doesn’t get it.
In such circumstances, point out the ethical dilemma faced by you and options available to you. Also, chalk out the course of action you would prefer to follow.
