If that is so, then apparently the Govt. is justified in asking them to serve - as there is a lot of investment in educating the student by tax payers (i.e. if the institutions are funded / aided by the Government). If not it's outright injustice.
In case of institutions that receive nothing from Govt. but charge students for every cent of their expenses, Govt. should not mandate the student to go and work wherever, as it will be poking its nose into a market economy.
Does someone here know all the details?
