Chanakya Ias Academy Complaints & Reviews

Hi Sonu,

As I think you are victim of misinformation. You should have taken admission after enquiring about the coaching institute. As per rule (formal) no coaching institute refunds money.

I am glad to know that you have been student of Chanakya IAS Academy, but unfortunately our class room experience were totally different. I am highly obliged to Chanakya's teachers and staff members. Teacher's cordial and expert guidance have helped me to secure a job in civil services and staffs were very cooperative (especially Raghuvarji - if you remember him or if he is yet their).

Cheer up friend...
Don't Expect... but Inspect. Your determination will lead to SUCCESS!

Thanx

Chankya Ias Instituteis one of the biggest fraud and worst IAS coaching institute of India, they charge exorbitant fees from the stutents but in the name of teachingn it does not worth even ruppess 1 and anyone can search in google that Even U.PS.C has made complaint against Chanakya I.A.S academy.

I am also a victim of such mislead information.

I came to know about Chanakya IAS Academy and went to their Ahmedabad Branch to enquire about the course, exam and most important my eligibility for the same.

Their staff Ms. Mala who attends to enquires was there to attend to all my queries and my very first query was regarding my eligibility for this exam as per the age criteria .. ( at present 29yrs and will be 30yrs in April 2013). Ms. Mala reconfirmed to me min. twice that i was eligible for this exam and to top it she also commented that i was not their first such student.

Later I paid the fees and when the classes started, the faculty who came from Delhi to teach us, was discussing about syllabus and at that point he discussed about the age criteria and that is when i came to know through him that as per the age criteria, i was not eligible to appear for the exams. Later when i asked for the refund they refused to pay saying they have a non refundable policy. Same day in front of our faculty i asked Ms. Mala if as per my age criteria was i eligible for the exam and she once again in the faculties presence accepted that i could appear for the exams.Then knowing about what mistake she had made, Ms. Mala informed me, that she had informed the same to the concerned people and would revert back soon. Later when i started doing a followup i found that Ms. Mala was not available in the office (either she is on leave or has left the institution) and while i discussed the same with the other person in the office, they said that the Fees is non refundable. I had tried to meet the centre head who was said to be busy those days (as per Ms. Mala) and so i was not able to meet her. Henceforth, i wrote an email to the center head Ms. S Khan and their director Mr. A. K Mishra but to my surprise none of them reverted back to my email. It is more than 15days and i have not received any reply from their side.

I am shocked to know that i was given a false information and mislead by the institution and in this manner they have cheated me of rs. 50000. Henceforth i wish to go ahead with the consumer forum regarding this complaint...

I took admission in this coaching but cursing my self that i wasted my money in this, actually i was influenced by their promotion propaganda and was caught in their trap. The main aim of this coaching is to extract money from the pocket of innocent(those who don't have any knowledge about coaching) and the moment i started my classes with them their reality was unveiled. They have the most pathetic teachers of all time and some of the teachers over their who wanted to sincerely teach the students were thrown out (Mr. mohanty - a renowned name in the coaching of public administration was a faculty over their but what happened with him is history) I was surprised when i came to know by the so called teacher Mr. manoj agarwal(A THAG HIMSELF running DESTINY IAS DUKAAN IN MUKHARJEE NAGAR ABOVE "THE STUDY "coaching) himself that the management is not concerned about the future of students they gave us a fix target in which we have to "finish" whole syllabus now the onus is on students that they have to cover all the things whether they understand it or not.last request PLEASE DON'T MAKE YOUR PERCEPTION ON "ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGY" OF CHANAKYA IAS ACADEMY BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY THING IN WHICH THEY ARE AHEAD OF ANYONE ELSE AND A K MISHRA(owner) WHOSE PHOTOGRAPH YOU WILL FIND ON MOST OF THE LEADING MAGAZINE IS FRAUD OF ALL TIMES instead of wasting money their buy some good books and make notes by yourself
MYSELF (UNFORTUNATELY ) A FORMER CHANAKYA IAS ACADEMY STUDENT

hi
I've decided Sociology as my optional(IAS-2014) and i wanted to know whether it can be done by self-studying or should I go for coaching.
Since I'm staying in Mukherjee Nagar, it would be helpful if you could suggest one near to it.

This academy has hired the best of the faculty members available today and provides quality and updated study material based on the revised syllabus.A good modern infrastructure with library is available and most importantly SuccessGuru AK Mishra sir is always there to help and guide you.thank you for Guiding us

Please guide me friends... I want to go for IAS but don't know anything about any coaching centre... please help me please

Everyone here is saying the correct thing...chanakya is the [censored]ng worst institute ever...i have done my gs frome some other institute and decided to do the subject coaching from chanakya...let me tell u in detail how it is the worst [censored]ing institute...
1... management...
Really management...rude people with overlapping classes and pathetic classrooms...no specific batch starting...they squees u in any class in the moddle of any batch ( subject coaching )
2... Pathetic time culture...
Even govt. Offices are a 1000 times more efficient than chanakya institute...the teachers are always 30 min late...an 8 a.m. Class starts at 8:30- 9:00
3... Holiday culture..
They give you holiday every 3rd day...no other coaching institute has a holiday culture... "Holiday" means a holy day...and when u prepare for ias...the only thing holy for u is to study...they have weekends off and holidays for every [censored]ing festival...itni holidays to school mein bhi ni hoti thi...
4...Mishra... Let me tell u my opinion about him...i attended his supposidly inspiration lecture at the start...he is a [censored]ing money making who has an extreme sense of superiority complex...with no dedication whatsoever to teach/run an institute...he is only there to make [censored]ing money even if it is just by cheating people as mentioned in the above comments...
...every coaching institute ows a lot of its success to the director ...and i[censored] look at the top coaching institutes...all their directoes are amazing dedicated teachers...
I still remember a director of another institute saying " i always wanted to be a teacher and i am still trying to be one "...this humility is what makes u successful...
...and he [censored]ing calls himself the chanakya guru...
..p.s. Heard he is contesting elections to ake more money...
...
Lastly...the only reason i studied the subject there was because the political science teacher there is great...
That is the only pro point i see in that institute...
...
If anyone cares even a bit about his/her ias ddream...then pls do not waste ur money by joining this idiotic coaching institute.
Thanks...
P.p.s. No hard feelings toqarda a

Please take my advice and never join this institute

NEGATIVE -----

THIS EMAIL WAS SENT 1 MONTH AGO STILL NO REACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OFF
please read and understand

Dear chanakya institute
I am from Ahmadabad and I contacted your Ahmadabad branch 301, Sachet III, 3rd Floor, Mirambika school road, Naranpura for taking admission after understanding the procedure the next day I went to pay the desired amount and asked for the payment receipt but the answer I got from the manager was we don’t want to take your admission because I asked for the receipt In a very rude manner. I think the one who gave me answer was the new girl I visited your institute before also but this face was new and I guess the manager and that girl are both sisters or from the same background.

Is this the proper way to talk to the student who is willing to be a part of your institute?
Is this the way to communicate?
Do you know how much bad impact that creates in the market?

There were many friends of mine to whom I would recommend this institute but after this kind of experience from your end I would not suggest anyone to join your institute.
And if you don’t believe me you can send one of your insiders to look into what kind of administration and how they are treating the students.
At last I would like to say that this creates very bad impact on us as well as on the market.

As i visited this firm i went there around 10 am for the inquiry but no responsible person was available there the person there told that they will come within two hours i went there again at 12:30 but no one was still available after that they told me to wait for an hour so i waited till 1:30 pm there still no one came so i guess this is the sign of bad administration i would never join this institute

I went in this institute at around 10 am for inquiry but no person was available for the inquiry from there i was told to come around 12 pm so i went there again at 12:30 PM but still no one was available that person told me to wait for 1 hour i waited there still no one showed up
this is very ridiculous that on working day up till 2 pm no responsible person shows up this is the sign of very bad administration
how can u expect me to join this institute now after experincing such problem...

A very ridiculous institute students please beware and not come in their marketing skills they do marketing very good on the other side this is a money making firm who does not care for students future and only interested in making the money this is my personal experience from this institute they are irresponsible persons after the payment received. please don't select this institute there are many other institute available.

negative...negative...negative...
only money making firm
they will set u in any batch which is running and no care will be taken off
there is no one to listen after the payment
holidays they give like they are running gov. institute
timing deadline is never met
bad

if you don't want to achieve your goals
waste your money
casual approach after payment
settled in any running batch
no doubt are cleared
faculties changes
bad administration
then join this institute

I don't know about the past about this institute but at present this academy has good facilities, good faculty who listen to each and every student's query and gives good solution and provides quality and updated study material based on the syllabus. many other facilities are provided there, library for students with big campus where students can spend time to study and also Success Guru A K Mishra be there with each student to help them and resolve there issues. They are helping us in preparation o[censored]PSC exam.

Dear Sir,

Please refer to my mail dated 16/11/2015 and our telephone conversation dated 28/11/2015.

Sir, as you’re aware that my daughter is suffering from leukopenia and I withdrew my daughter from the coaching classes for IAS by Chanakya IAS academy due to medical reasons. I approached you with a request to refund the tuition fees which I had paid in full for the entire year. It was heartening to hear that you’re considerate and during our telephone conversation you assured me that the amount will be refunded. You intimated that my request for refund has been accepted and agreed by your HO in Delhi and that the amount will be refunded to me within 25 to 30 days. .On 27/11/2015 one of my neighbour SJ Saheb had also spoken to you and you had assured him that the office in Delhi have considered the request for refund of money and the same will be done in 25 to 30 days.

Sir, I would like to mention that the condition of my daughter is deteriorating day by day and medical specialists have advised me that my daughter needs immediate advanced treatment. The medical treatment that has been suggested to me is highly expensive and yet it cannot be overlooked.

Considering the realities, it is pertinent that I follow the doctor’s advice .However; I cannot proceed with the treatment of my daughter as it is too expensive and for that I need money. Hence, I request you to refund the money in next 8 to 10 days which will enable me to proceed with my daughter’s medical treatment. I have already taken loan for her education and I cannot take another loan because of my poor financial situation. Hence I am requesting you again to refund the amount.

Hope to hear a reply from you within a day or two.

CHANAKYA IAS ACADEMY ...I don't know about what some of the x-fellow students might have gone through during there study and coaching at the institute. But, I believe, that it is our duty to inquire beforehand prior to taking admissions in any coaching institute. It may be a case of misunderstanding.

As far as any advertising campaign of the institute is concerned, every such institute does that and so do every company. You can probably refer to some of the major Civil services competitions magazine or any local daily of Delhi or even in some cases National newspapers. I wont call this as a propaganda of doing business, instead its something what every company does to acquire a certain segment of the market. Overall I feel that some of the instructors at Chanakya IAS Academy are among the subject knowledge experts, and its definitely an opportunity to learn from them. I have been a student of Chanakya IAS Academy Delhi Mukherjee Branch and this I am saying from my experience.

However, one preparing for an exam like Civil Services should be ready to face different challenges over the time to come. Remember one institute cannot make someone a Civil Servant, instead its an individual which shines out of the group of learners from the mentors and wins the race. And the learning doesn't have to necessarily be done at an institute, one can also do self study.

Further, If you have had trouble in studying from them (as what you said) you could have made them understand what exactly problems you were facing, maybe they could have shifted you to some other branch where some other instructor might be teaching, maybe that could have helped you. However if you were assured that your fees would be refunded if you don't like the classes then you can ask for it.

As far as my experience from the institute are concerned, the learning from Chanakya IAS Academy has given me good foundations to prepare for Civil Services. I am now continuing my self studies further to enhance my knowledge and to prepare myself for upcoming IAS exams. I wont do a comparison of the institute with others in the lime light of civil services coaching, but would definitely say that I learned a lot from this institute.

Most important impediment an aspirant face while preparing for civil services examination is the mind bristling with countless negative thoughts and uncertainties. In addition to coaching you for success, experts at Chanakya also help you overcome these disturbing thoughts.

Chanakya IAS Academy has not only coached me for civil services examination but also turned me into an incredible positive thinker. I was too much afraid of the extensive UPSC syllabus but a faculty beautifully narrated that “When eating an elephant take one bite at a time”. God bless al the dedicated faculty members of Chanakya IAS Academy.

what is so wrong about Chanakya.. so many Negative comments. i am confused now. Is the teaching standard below average?? please someone genuine or any ex members kindly give a genuine feedback. Thank you.

I am getting a Lot of negative feedback. please someone give a genuine feedback about this Institute as i am looking forward to join this year i.e next month. Thank you

This is about the pune branch of Chanakya. Unfortunately i have joined the institute and i will definitely not recommend this institute for anyone else. They do not provide any syllabus. They only send an sms two days before the class and only when you come to know about the subject going to be taught. And they may put you in any session even if the session is half way through. Infrastructure facilities are the worst you can imagine. No place to properly sit and have lunch. Library is too small and congested. And they do not even respond properly if you have raised any complaints to them.

We had taken admission for foundation course weekend batch for my son. I was told that only one lecture would be on weekday but they had guest lectures on weekdays scheduled for next 1 month which my son could not attend due to college. Hence we decided to cancel his admission ( he has not attended any lectures) . We had communicated this multiple times to the staff over the phone. The staff is very rude and they do not pick up the phones ( please try the office numbers and they will pick up only after multiple calls).

Today I received the letter stating that we are irresponsible etc. and admission stands cancelled with our deposits forfeited. We had mentioned that due to medical conditions we could not come to office and the staff insisted we give them this in writing multiple times. The website contact us section always shows up the following error ( this too was told to them) but still no action has been taken.

Internal Server Error
the server encountered internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Regards,
Shailendra

PS I had heard very good feedback about this program but totally disappointed with the staff over there. I think the institute should first give the course to its staff so that they know how to listen and respond.
