I disagree. In India the IIT-JEE, for admissions into the IITs, are super hard, so hard that I can bet no one can repeat performance between years, thereby removing almost any chance that someone else taking the test would be able to provide any kind of performance guarantee.

In fact the problem with the US college admission system is that it's not at all objective, rather is completely subjective, thereby giving the admission committee a lot of leeway. Students, who are good in academics, are unnecessarily (biased opinion) forced to spend time on extra curricular activities, volunteering, sports etc. Not that they are not important, but I'm not convinced that they should be part of the admission criteria.

By making admissions dependent on some standardized test you will remove all, or at least most, of human involvement which leads to corruption.

There are people offering IIT jee scores(usually at really expensive coaching institutes). hell the best IITJEE instructors take the test every year(to see the difficulty changes) and manage to get roughly the same high score everytime
