To whomsoever it may concern
I am a former student of CDAC ACTS PUNE. I feel necessary to
write this; as I feel it's important to let future students and perhaps if
anyone from CDAC management (if they care…) to know what actually happens
during that 6 month period which they so call a PGD course. Here I’ll be
talking about only the CDAC ACTS Pune centre as I have experienced the ways
there and not about whole of CDAC as I don’t know about others.
From the day you opt for a course with CDAC ACTS Pune you
can feel that you have stopped being a human (let alone a post grad student
...) but a mere livestock with no voice. The administration i.e. (course-
coordinator, attendance in-charge and classroom keeper as they are the only
interface a student gets to interact with during the course) assumes the role
of prison wardens and treat the students (hereafter referred as prisoners) as
death row prisoners.
For instance, if you are even a minute late (acc. to their
watches and the faculty isn’t even there yet) in attending a back to back
lecture usually extending up to 8 hrs they would scold you at their whim, take
away your ID card and debar you from attending lectures for the remaining
period of the day and the day after. They will return you your IDs only if you
beg them within the inch of your life! In nutshell, they have the power to
disallow you from attending lectures indefinitely, cancel your exams and even
stop you from attending placement activities based on most trivial of actions
and nonsense of matters; And the most amazing thing about that is that you can
do nothing about it as you have no voice and no one to hear your side (Just
like in prisons!!!). THEY PLAY WITH YOUR CAREER AS THEY PLEASE and without a
trace of regret or remorse!
This can go on for the length of an epic but I think it’s
pretty clear where it’s going. So rather than rambling on about the brutalities
of the admin at CDAC ACTS Pune I would give a suggestion to its management
(again if anyone cares…)
Suggestion:
There should be a bi-weekly feedback system for admin also
as there is for faculty with strict actions if anyone found defaulting or
harassing students (mentally or physically).
Students must be allowed to meet the HR personally (without
the mediation of any of the admins) if they have any issues and that must be
addressed ASAP.
High authorities (i.e. directors and members of ministry
responsible for its establishment) should encourage students to interact with
them and take a frank feedback about the challenges faced by students.
As for now ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
