These are high school students in India. Many of them are from rural backgrounds and do not have personal email accounts. From our experience, the forms are many times filled up by employees at cyber cafes who fill their own email addresses and mobile numbers instead of the students. The only reliable means of communications back to students is by a government approved website, or newspapers, or official media. (The process also has to stand up in court in case some student says that (s)he did not get the communication, and newspaper ads are a documentable evidence of communications on a specified date.) (BTW, the forms do have captchas, the spurious forms are manually filled in by mischievous/malicious/curious applicants.)
