[Resolved]  NIIT — Cheating & Misguiding. Never Join NIIT, NIIT's fake 99 days 100% placement program

Cheating & Misguiding. Never Join NIIT, NIIT's fake 99 days 100% placement program Hi, Every One I am Nikesh Neelakantan. This is more of a warning to others than a complaint, because it is no much use complaining about things like this. Well, I graduated from college in year 2008, yes, the time when recession had just hit and I was looking for an IT job. I went to Greater Noida and was staying with my friends to look for a job of software developer. But, there was no luck. Then I began to get worried because 2 or 3 months had passed and I was not doing anything technical and i kind of felt that sitting idle will make my skills weak and I should at least join for a course to keep myself engaged. I searched for a training center near my place and got address of NIIT, Greater Noida. I went there and met the councilor or someone (this is the person who has the ability to talk very well and trap you, I remember her name very well, but i am not saying it because I think she was doing her job). I asked her what the courses they were offering are. She told that there is program called GNIIT Diploma and the fees was Rs. 1, 50, 000. I asked if there is any other course, she said there is a GNIIT Diploma as well, but chances are better if I do it in Java (only latter I realized that one reason for saying that might be they already had enough students for .NET and they needed more people for Java). I asked her if there is any other course available in Java other than this GNIIT Diploma and she said there is not other course in Java, and because I am a graduate I should go for a GNIIT Diploma and this is the only course in which they give placement guarantee. I was so desperate for a job and was not in my smartest wits. I fell for it. I said ok, i will come back with the money. Now comes the next step of strategy to extract your money. Next day was a Saturday, she called me and told the admission date is getting over and the class is already started, so i need to make it fast. Now I have got no time to think and has to act fast and I withdrew money from bank as fast as I can and gave it her. The class started and the class was good actually. I though well, NIIT has got good standards in teaching. But after a week my time was changed from weekends to weekdays. In the time of enrollment I had told her I can come only for weekend classes and she said they have got a weekend batch. But not when I asked her she started talking in a circle and was not talking clearly. I knew she had played with me. Then with the weekday batch came these teachers who actually didn't know much about the technologies and obviously didn't know how to teach. I found myself sitting in class with a dozen of desperate jobseekers trapped just like me. Not even a single person in the class understood anything about java, j2ee, struts, jsp or ejb or tomcat or anything. There was no project. And the course was supposed to get over in 99 days, but after enrolling I found out that they themselves have got no time table or no clear idea about the schedule or exams. Finally after me asking very objective questions they had to decide that it was a 2 year course. I didn't even plan to stay in Greater Noida for that long without a job. And soon I realized that there were other courses in Java as well for 50, 000 rs or 60, 000 rs. But she wanted to sell the most expensive one to me and when latter I went and asked her directly that whether I did or did not ask you if there were other courses available in Java, she said an inaudible 'yes' and I asked her did or did not you say that there were no other courses? and she said 'but this is the best course for you!'. Somehow I went through the depressing NIIT sessions blaming myself every second for wasting money and time. After 2 long year, I finished the course and now was the time for placements. Suddenly somehow they made me realize that what they promised was 100% placement assistance not 100% placement guarantee. What the hell is 100% placement assistance? Some kind of a joke? But anyway they told me addresses and time of some job fairs and all. But it was all BPO and Data entry kind of jobs. I got fed up after a month, by that time I got a job in a computer networking company in Kerala (not through NIIT). I wanted a job in software side but took this job because sitting idle was not helping anyways. I called and asked for my certificates many time, but it hadn't reached from Greater Noida for at least 5 or 6 months. Then after I called to get the certificates. They told the certificate is ready and I must go there personally to collect the certificate. From kerala I went to Greater Noida and got the Rs. 29000 (flat rent and other expenses extra) certificate and the title said "GNIIT Diploma in Java Technology". I was like, ok, i will not say shocked because I had started to understand NIIT, but I was taken aback because I was expecting "GNIIT Diploma in Java Technology" to be written on it. After staring at the certificate for 5 minutes I went and asked the present councilor if there is some mistake because my course was a GNIIT Diploma. She said they never gave any GNIIT Diploma course and it is only a diploma. I came back and with much pain corrected my resume to Diploma in Java Technology. 1. Complete information on courses available was not given. Told me that there is only one course in Java when there were many other less expensive courses available. 2. Placement guarantee is not there. Its just placement assistance. Nothing wrong in that, but you are impressed that it is placement guarantee when you go with an inquiry. 3. Wrong information was given about the duration of the course and the timing of the course. Told that there was a schedule that suited me, but found out latter that was just lie. 4 A diploma course was sold to me saying it was a GNIIT Diploma. 5. Teaching standards are very low. Just showed power point slides and gave vague explanation. Could not clear majority of our doubts. A girl got fed up and stopped coming to the class. Do not join in NIIT. Inquire around and find a place that has got some good teachers. Need not be a big name institute and do Certification courses like SCJP etc. At least there is some values for the certificate. This mail inside NIIT Center, he told that my resume has been sent to a company but later they rejected my resume as this is not job from nikhil ganjoo [protected]@hotmail.com date Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 2:25 PM subject RE: NIIT Placement mailed-byhotmail.com Important mainly because it was sent directly to you. hide details Sep 3 Dear Nikesh, Greetings!
