Taking few examples and applying it all over makes no sense. I have graduated from Akola, and i know how much cheating happens in one of the best universities of Maharashtra. If you want to see the real talent broaden your outlook and look into the competitive exams at national level. Everything is not fake.Maharastra still has many colleges where bigger chunk of seats have reserved for the Maharashtrians. If the seats are kept 100% on all india competitive exam and open to all indians, the composition of students will be something you can never even think of. People who have seen many universities and colleges of various part of country better know who stands where.
