[Resolved]  Icfai Hyderabad — ICFAI University is a BIG CHEATER in education field

Dear Sir,

I am Priyanka Aggarwal, student of ICFAI university, enrolment number MBA2054695. I have taken admission to the ICFAi university in year 2005 in MBA course. It is a corresspondence course. ICFAI university has taken complete course fee of around Rs. 2, 00, 000 in year 2005-06. And after that they are charging Rs. 500 per paper, i.e. compulsarily a minimum of Rs. 1000 per group.
In last 4 years they have changed the pattern of exam almose every 3 months. They have also changed the subjects in the said course many times. Even after clearing the exam for the group, we had to reattempt the same group becayse the unversity has changed the course for that particular group. They have also made the exams difficult to pass as instead of giving 1 paper of 100 marks with time limit 3 hours, now we have to give 2 papers with 200 marks with time limit of 6 hours with a break. They also have a clause that simultaneously we have to clear both the papers in a group to get clear the group. All these factors force the students to fail in the exams and make money for the institute. WE STUDENT STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THESE ALL ARE THE TRICKS OF MAKING MONEY AND NOTHING ELSE.
Many times I have asked them to refund the money, but they declined. Also they declined when I asked them to change my course from MBA to MCA with the same money. I wrote many mails to the dean but he also declined to make the refund.
Just like me my cousin brother and my sister in law and a friend of mine has lost so much of money with this university. Because we ended up giving exams as we all are working and can not devote much of time in studies and hence failed in the exams besides attempting many time for the same group.
I want to raise the voice of on behalf of many students who have been cheated like this by ICFAI university and many other such universities. Please advise what can be done against this university.

Appreciate your quick response.

Regards
Priyanka

priyanka, i am janak. i also study in icfai. and i am suffering from all this type of problem and i agree with you.
Hi Priyanka,
I am vaishali. i have similar experience like you. my mail id [protected]@yahoo.co.in
Respected Sir,
I am pleased to inform you that I have completed 1st Phrase of my MBA programme in time. Things were smooth till my Group E examination (under 2nd Phrase). But surprisingly in Group F examination, I could not get even a pass mark with a repeated honest effort of four times!
Now I am in a fix regarding my future prospect is concern. I would like to inform you that I hail from a remote Maoists prone village under West Bengal. Situation is so strained that I had to leave my village with empty resources. I have taken loan from my relative to pursue this MBA programme. It was in my mind that after completion my MBA, I could manage to start some earnings and my loan amount may be repaid on time to time basis.
This is very honest to say that I have discharged all my efforts at my level best to pass my examination. But I am not getting my desired results as I experienced earlier. Even twice, my result came with marks unchanged! This is very frustrating as I have lost one vital year for particularly this Group F alone.
This may be relevant to inform you that with my personal pursuation, three number students[protected],[protected], and[protected] enrolled and they are now somehow putting me in a wrong corner because of my present situation.
Considering the situation above, you are requested to look into this matter for suitable consideration unless it will be hard to motivate myself to proceed further in my MBA programme. This is further to say that this MBA degree is much needed for me to earn my living.
I have no more words to express. Wish for your kind consideration so that my motivation to this level still prevail and can complete my MBA within shortest possible time. I respect my ICFAI University and hope ICFAI will trust me.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours sincerely.

I AM PLANNING TO JOIN FOR MCA IN ICFAI BUT BY READING ALL THE COMPLAINS, I FEEL DIFFICULT TO JOIN WHO KNOWS I MAY ALSO FACE THE SAME.KINDLY SUGGEST ME.
THANK YOU. [protected]@yahoo.com
i also agree that icfai is cheater. I am an engineer I intended to joinf CFA during 2003 as course content were good with good insigth for corporate finance. Their representative told that DBF and CFA or MS Finance all are same and after completing DBF i can opt for further level of MSF or CFA which are one during that period. I accordingly opted for DBF as course content were looking good. I did complete my DBF but allowed for CFA and not for MSF (Desired course content is now with MSF) despite course content of DBF and MSF are same, Allowed me waiver of 2 level insted of three as course structure were changed. I had to again go thru 3rd level for no reason for CFA which is now very specific to investment agencies. Kindly note when the curiculam was changed that time i had written to ICFAI for allowing me newer subject in 3rd level which they did not allow. Quite often they do changes. Please thnik many time before getting enroll to this university as they are behind money and not for education and amicably resolving students concerns. atpresent also i am more interested with MSF but have no desire to study the same 6 subjects again and sit for exams. ICFAI must have thought for teir own student. They made changes their own and make even their present student suffering. This is unique university in their own on this term. Pl suggest how can i takeup my case with this university.

Dear Priyanka Agarwal you are absolutely correct. i accept your grievance caused for you and i fully support you. Any information required for you with all evidence i will submitt you to proceed.
Dear Mr. Mohan,

My name is Mohammed Abdul Shakeel Sadiq- Enrollment number[protected], I
am writing this email to raise a critical issue at hand and want you to
take quick and appropraite action on this,


- Mr. Ramakrishna had enrolled me into this program in June 2011 from

Riyadh KSA and since then I have paid initailly Rs. 10, 000 and the monthly
Rs. 3600 as instructed.

- He said he is the concerned point of contact for me and will arrange

the exam date and local centre in Riyadh KSA before the exams in Jan 2012.

- I have been trying to contact him since 1 and half month without any
response.
- I have got the books and thoroughly prepared for the exams now and not

aware of the present situation to go about it.

- Please help me to the next step and I want a strict action to be taken

against Ramakrishna as he is not responding to any of my queries on emails
and over the phone.

- If this is the way ICFAI works i do not want to be a part of the

program and want to cancel the enrollment and want my complete refund
immediately.

- If you people cannot arrange my exams in Jan and in Riyadh KSA, I

would appreciate to refund me immediately.

Please read below email, and after asking Mr. Rajesh in SSD to cancel the enrollment, he said in the 24, 000 Rupees I paid I will get only 10, 000Rs as refund, which is not at all acceptable and I will file a case of misleading information, wrong promises and utter hidden charges against ICFAI, if you guys do not come up with a win win situatioin.

The Marketing guy Ramakrishna, hass still not contacted me nor he is picking up my phone. I want you to take action immeditely or else I will file a case against ICFAI & Ramakrishna.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED FROM YOU Mr. Sanjay

Awaiting your quick response at the earliest.

Thanks and Regards

I totally disagree with SSO, even me and my friend faced the same problem with this guys. ICFAI is a very big cheat. We also enroll for MBA Flexible programme in 2007 and we didn't wrote any exam till date. After paying upto 60, 000 Rupees, the university is not responding at all on our queries.
But for the payment they will send us threatening mails to us and our family members. We all are planning to file a petition in court regarding this university management once we are in hyderabad. This is our hard earned money, we are not going to loose that for this cheaters. Even we will prepare to write to media as well about these guys, who make students life hell

THIS IS TRUE...

Appreciate your quick response.
I name is Archana. I have taken admission in MBA (360 flexi course). I paid the almost Rs.27, 000 to the inversity.I am working in Infosys and due to my promotion, I could not get time to study. So, I decided to quit this course before I appear the exams for any group. Now a days, I m getting calls for full payement of fees.
They are harasing me by sending dishonor letters for late payment every week. I get many calls to pay the fees and never got the call for rejoining the course. I did not attend any exams and even not continiuing the cousre so i m not liable to pay the fees. And also now thay are threatening me that if I dont pay the compltete fees i will have to come to Hydrabad court for legal actio.
Now it has been proved thet this unversity is not not an actaul unversity but is just a business centre where we fools invest our money and time without knowing the further consequnces. I URGE PEPOLE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS INSTITUTE PROPERLY AND THEN ONLY THINK TO JOIN THIS INSTITUTE, OR ELSE LIST OF FOOL PEOPLE WILL GO ON. I REQUEST TO EDUCATION MINISTER AND HEAD OF THIS UNVERSITY TO LOOK INTO IN MATTER.
