[Resolved]  NIIT — NIIT Placement Head playing foul with students careers

Address:

West Bengal

Sir/Madam,

With due respect I would like to bring to your kind notification that the NIIT centers located at Kolkata (primarily the Gariahat centre) are playing havoc with the student’s career by tempting them with huge amount of good hopes during their admission and at last shattering all their dreams as they are unable to provide a single job opportunity in a reputed IT organization.

Sorry to say but I'm one of the victims of such foul play.

I have completed ANIIT(2yrs diploma course in IT) from NIIT Gariahat center,Kolkata in December 2010.

Our Placement Head, Smt.Anupama Basak who is supposed to play a responsible role in the recruitment process is simply playing foul with our careers.
From January to till date she has managed to provide job opportunities in the below mentioned companies:
· Xeena technologies, Dumdum cantonment
· IIM in Saltlake sector 1
· Some company near South city mall,Kolkata.
· ITC infotech ( I have cleared the aptitude but unable to crack the interview)

To our utter dismay, 3 out of the 4 companies were either computer training centers or very small companies.
Since we are fresher we have approached Miss Basak to give us a heads on the profile of these companies. Unfortunately she has no knowledge on the profile of the companies, about the prospect in those companies as well as she even refused to tell us the salaries in those companies.

As I did not get any proper information from her about those companies, I tried to find out the company profile from the internet and unfortunately there also I did not get any proper information as those companies do not even have a proper website and for some I did not find any e-link references at all from Google.

Now the turning point came when I refused to attend the interviews in the aforesaid companies(except ITC). Smt.Anupama Basak burst out in anger and told me that I am very much choosy in job selection and also threatened me that she will look into the matter so that I am unable to appear in any further interviews. She has also communicated that top companies like IBM, CTS, Infosys has recruited students from our centre but my profile did not match which is an utter nonsense. She even promised to schedule a face-to-face discussion with my parents regarding this but that day never came. Whenever we tried to reach her over phone, either she did not take the call or simply says that she is out-of-office which reflects her deliberate attitude of running away from her responsibilities.

I just want to know is this the kind of behaviour expected from a placement head?
What is the point in giving huge course fees in return to which we are rewarded with a doomed career?
I dont think this is a justice with the students and their parents.

Hope you understand the pulse of this mail. It will be highly appreciated if you kindly look into the matter and take necessary measures at your earliest.



Yours faithfully,
