[Resolved]  ICFAI — Not getting MBA certificate

Address:Gujarat

i have been pursuing MBA from ICFAI distance learning from April 2006. i recently passed all my exams and was waiting for my certificate. recently i got an email from them asking me to join CIMBAG, which is the alumni organization before i can get my degree certificate. the fee for joining CIMBAG is Rs 5000. so after clearing all my exam fee, i still have to pay Rs 5000 before i can get my degree. i believe, that this is like asking Ransom before my degree certificate is released. The sites for CIMBAG says that it is not for profit organization (http://www.cimbag.org/, http://www.flexiblemba.org/alumni_council.asp/ ). on the other hand they are asking money. i am not interested in joining the alumni organization, but they still want me to pay the money.

what should i do

ICFAI — Threatening to pay money(icfai)

I took admission in icfai for MBA(distance mode) in 2007-08 i paid 10, 000 initially and submitted PDC's of 3543 (18 cheques), during the time of admission i was shown all flowery pictures about the university, i was referred by my friend but he haven't got any money which he is liable under reffral programme, i haven't got my ID card till date, it was then i realized that they have started money making business, i haven't cleared any of their semester, i decided to discontinue the course, so i did stop payment for rest of the cheques... on this icfai started sending me notice from Photon Capital and threaten me to pay the amount or legal action will be taken... looking to all this scenario i decided to take advise from a lawyer... he gave me a written notice which i had sent to SSD and Photon capital... icfai took a break for some days... but after six months they again started sending notice from photon capital and this time it was heights... i got a mail from Max wealth India mentioning my name in Paymentdefaulter.com website... Paymentdefaulter.com is an independent body... how can icfai force to continue course ... as far as i know there is no such rule... pursuing any kind of degree or discontinuing the same is the matter of choice... please help us beacuse i know there are many suffering from torture of icfai... why any one is not taking action against such crime... this is open Gundagiri... pls help to get out of this situation
I joined the course in 2007. paid an upfront of 10, 000 and gave them 18 pdc. later after a month, i called them up to tell them that i wil not be able to go forth with the course and asked them if they could refund my 10000, they said they cant do that.. So i thot of forgetin it. i didn block the cheques as it was an educational institution and as never in my dream i thot these frauds will sue me for the PDCs. i got a letter of late from some additional magistrate from Lok Adalat saying i need to be at the court in Hyderabad for settlement. Their website sucks and it the god damn hall ticket wont get downloaded, They are not approved under the AICTE norms. Above all why on earth would i give a penny more for someting that i didnt use.. Its like asking me to pay the phone bills of 80k that you never spoke for.. "WHY WOULD I PAY A PENNY FOR SOME SERVICE THAT I NEVER GOT??
And it would be great if someone out there told me the gravity of the situation. How long do i have to react to this letter.? I get this on March 25, 3.00pm saying i got to appear in the court by 12:30 pm same day? what am i supposed to do.. I dont have a time machine to travel back in time..
Please call me to advice [protected].
ICFAI is pucca rogue institute. I also studied and worked in ICFAI for 4 years. Employment is another lousy affair there.

Student service is "zero". Only making money. Inside is full of scams !

ICFAI — Alumni Money

I am an ex-student of Icfai Tech Hyderabad. I passed out in june 2009. The college had made it mandatory for all the 4th year students to pay a sum of Rs. 10000 in the seventh semester as alumni money otherwise they were not ready to enroll the student for the coming semester. Icfai Tech has a number of campuses across India. Due to some case going on in the court some branches of the college have been shut down, and hyderabad campus is one of them. I have mail from the college that specifically specifies this point. I would request you to kindly look into this matter and I am hopeful that I will get my money back.

ICFAI — Sending Legal Notice

Hi ,

I am Saqib Jan from Kashmir. I Enrolled for BBA last Quater and i paid my 2 installments to ICFAI.
Everything was fine and while there was Voilence in kashmir so my Dad was going to get my brother from school and while crossing the bridge the Cops started beating him and because of the he got Injured. He is working with his one hand i cant afford to pay my fees and the only option i have is to study from some GOVT college. Many people spoke to me over the phone and they said its a legal issue and i would have to pay them. I think Icfai is a business company and thats why they dont have any human touch. I sent them email but they dont bother. I've stopped Cheques from my bank because they are charging me RS435/- everytime it gets bounced. I spoke with many different people and they are telling me to get borrow the money from someone and return later. Please do needful otherwise they'll file the case against me and then i'll get in problems.

Thanks,
Saqib jan

ICFAI — dont receiving my studying material

I have completed my B and C group but i did not get my studying material while exam starts January 13th I have informed the authority more than 15 time but they are not taking sufficient solution against my need.I never make any due on my monthly payment.
Mr.Saqib!
Your should better be address the issue to the Institute explaining the reasons for your difficulty in paying the fee for consideration rather through blog. Good luck.
Hi Abdul Rizwan

Try to put forward your grievances to higher authority, as you have not received the study material even after continuous perusal. This may help in resolving the problem.

Hello,
ICFAI is one of the BOGUS university in the world ...I repented after taking admission...they never told me that you would need to pay for exam fees, coaching will be only for first three groups and lot many things...
They are excellent in deceiving students...I'd rather say they staff has done Master of Deceiving People (MDP)...so friends beware while taking admission in any ICFAIs course...
I would strongly recommend you do NOT to take admission for ICFAI's distance MBA...of course why, with the one forth (1/4 th) money you are getting admission in symbiosis varsity.
They have made education as Business...I'd rather say Business Ethics should be explained to ICFAI's Board first and then thier students...
Once again it is very BOGUS...it should be banned...this varsity has to be sued...
Yours, Pramod-[protected]
ICFAI University in my experience is very prompt and the course content is meticulous. One of the best course those who are looking out for distance education. Very flexible and nothing is hidden everything is there in the prospectus.

ICFAI — Admission Cancellation and Fees refund

Hi,

I have taken admission for MBA with ICFAI Universiry.

Now I wish to cancle the admission and want my fees to be refunded,

I have contacted the university, but could not get any written communication from their side.
I too face the same problem. This was not mentioned at the time of enrollment at all. In addition to that, I had paid for the placement services at the time of enrolment in April 2007. I enquired about the Ceritificate and Placement Services for which I got reply stating that my Certificate will reach me within six weeks from the date of announcement of the results, no comment on the placement services. I have written at least 2 mails after that enquiring about the placement services, but no response. I call the toll free number, but it never get picked.
Do not pay. Legally ICFAI cannot hold certifcates also CIMBAG was formed in 2007 and for students who enrolled before this, rule cannot apply
Registering for Alumni cannot be made mandatory. If students are not interested why should they join??
I agree with Jayram, that legally ICFAI cannot hold certificates as this Alumni was formed only after 2007. Rules cannot apply for those who enrolled earlier. Also there has been no prior communication to any of the students either by mail or by post in regards to this Alumni fee. This has come as a surprise for every one.

My suggestion would be don't pay. You can challenge this legally
ICFAI guys are crazy and are in money making business. It was my biggest mistake to do Correspondence MBA from them. Their so called MBA has hardly any value as compared to other Corres. MBA.

Yes correct CIMBAG came in 2007 and if you had enrolled earlier then they cannot force. We can challenge them legally.
DO NOT JOIN...THESE KIND OF ASSOCIATIONS/COMMITTEES/ALUMNI IS HARDLY OF ANY VALUE IN INDIA...BETTER JOIN LINKEDIN...Its Pure money making business...Poor Service...Totally Immoral Org.
This is a Roller coaster ride for students
I agree with Jayaram and Janardhan

Even i joined before 2007 - am not interested in the alumni
can we take a legal action against ICFAI ?
