[Resolved]  SRM University — DAY LIGHT ROBBERY

Address:

Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu

Sir,
I am doing my B.tech engineering in SRM university present at Chennai (Kattankulathur). We are very much worried and disappointed about the daylight robbery going on in our institution. All the other prospects and educational aspects of the institution are fairly good, but the actual thing to be noted is the detention fee being collected here. The minimum attendance to be maintained for a subject to appear in the semester examination is 75%, failing which leads to detention on that particular subject. So this makes us to attend that subject either during summer or winter vacations (the whole vacation is gone). But this isn't the grievance complaint. The institution are imposing a huge penalty of Rs. 10,000 PER SUBJECT as the detention fees. But the same penalty for this when we joined the college in 2007 was just around Rs. 800 PER SUBJECT. This new rule have been implemented after we have finished one year in the course. This is really hurting each and every student in the college in big ways. The medical certificates even though they are genuine from reputed hospitals like APPOLO are being rejected , making the student detained. THe worst part is the students should attend only two theory subjects per course and the practical subject could be attended once you have paid Rs.10000 for that also. In all the ways, the institute is ready to mug our money to satisfy the needs for their incomplete buildings and newly upcoming colleges. Already many boards like UGC came across the college for inspection, but nothing seems to have favored us. Kindly pay some attention on my post because we are dying day and night. So we the students of SRM sincerely request the responsible authority to take the necessary action and put an end to this broad light robbery at once..

Thanking you,
Waiting for some actions to be taken,
On behalf of the suffering students from my college,
Yours sincerely,
R RAJESH...
