ICFAI Business School [IBS] Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I have taken admission in IBS Hyderabad for MBA 2-YEAR program in 2010. Due to unavoidable circumstances, I have to withdraw my candidature from the institute. I have been continuously writing to institute and UGC for fee refund for 2 years, but to no avail.

I request to concerned authorities by means of this platform to kindly do the needful.

sir, i am the student of icfai business school.
there is a recent judgement by the tamilnadu high court about the illegality of the all the centers of icfai running accross india.
sir my question is if this is so, why the people of AICTE and UGC were sleeping when the students were giving their entrance exams for IBSAT and got final call from this institue. now after comlpleting our whole one year in this institute now AICTE is saying that our degree is not valid.
sir there are number institutes who are running like this but only icfai has been made the scape goat.
my complaint is against the AICTE officials whose ineffectiveness and slow proceduring lead this kind of mental trauma to the students who have devoted there whole career here.
any onecan file the PIL against icfai for running colleges but why not any one file the same against the AICTE.

Respected Sir,

Me Anshul Kumar, (admit card no. 124594) S/O Late Mr P R Verma, got selected in waiting list in ICFAI dehradun for MBA program.

When my waiting list cleared I send a Demand Draft of Rs 80, 000/- (No. 757090, Punjab National Bank), to ICFAI head Admission office, Hyderabad, to get admission in MBA program in ICFAI dehradun campus.

Bus I was not medically very fit and As the ICFAI fees is about 10, Lack for 2 yrs, so I failed to arrange such a fees, So I requested ICFAI for getting my fees back.

I informed and requested properly (Via Email, Fax, and Registered post) to ICFAI for my incapability to get admission due to health and financial problems, but they didn’t responded.

Infect study material and registration no. was not send to me while it was sent to every one else who deposited the fee. It means Institute did not resister me for MBA 2011 batch and they supposed that I will not take admission at Dehradun campus.

While as per UGC public notice under act o[censored].3 (A) Section, about refunding fee in which it is stated “Money taken as Admission fee by institute/ by UGC recognized university should be returned by institute to student, in case if He doesn’t took admission, and informs before starting the class . Only 1000 Rs. Can be retained by University/ Institute”

So Kindly Oblige my by facilitating my fees (Now Rs 79000/-) refunding from ICFAI.


I will be highly oblige for you kind support

Thanking you

Yours faithfully

Respected Sir,

1) As per the following links ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL (IBS) Hyderabad is recognised by UGC and AICTE-

http://www.ibshyderabad.org/

http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/deemed%20universities/icfai.html


The head at IBS Hyderabad says that IBS Hyderabad is Aicte Approved and its a Deemed university. If its Aicte approved how can it have 800+ strength for a single MBA 2 year Program. The website http://www.ibshyderabad.org/ mentions the fees for the two year program including hostel is 7.5 lacs, but the actual fee for the batch 2009-11 is 9.5 lacs and the hostel fee is 37500 per semester.

2) The website http://www.ibshyderabad.org/ mentions 7-8 PGDM Courses, but the fact is that IBS hyderabad provides only 2year MBA, 1 year MBA and PHD programs.

As of yet not many student are aware of this website http://www.ibshyderabad.org/, all the student know only about http://www.ibsindia.org, this website does not mentions anything about the AICTE Aproval and its Deemed University Status.

This way IBS Hyderabad is not maintaining transparency and keeping the students in the dark. I request you to please kindly help all o[censored]s, as student I request you to please kindly take up this matter on priority basis as our life and careers depends on this.


I request you to please kindly look into this matter.

Regards.
Prospective Student.

The representatives of IBS Coimbatore came to my college and gave a false orientation about the admission to sale the applicatoin. the following are the points they lied
1. the campus is coming in ciombatore and admissions are done for the 2009 academic year.
2.you can write an IBSAT-2009 admission test for the coimbatore test.
3. you can select the campus which you wish.
since i reside in coimbatore i planned to join. i availed the application form paying Rs.1100/- (one thousand and hundred). then i was called for the second round of test at Hyderabad. to avail the transport and transit room facilty i paid Rs.1100/- (one thousand and hundred ) for me and my mother. they rushed up and got the amount. I also paid the amount. i have done all these, beleiving that i would study in coimbatore campus. The very next day they conductev a selection briefing meeting at coimbatore. There i volunteerly enquired abour the coimbatore campus. they replied me that they are not going to start any campus at coimbatore. then later when i asked to refund the money they behave like a third rate people and scolded very harshly. they dind not give any proper reply. please take necessary actions and make them give my money back. please dont encourage such fraud institutions

I am students who got through ICFAI college hyderabad for MBA and had no option to pay their hard earned 80000 bucks to ICFAI authorities .I have informed the institute on 6th April 2009 via e-mail that I won't be joining the course and have asked for the refund but I have not got any response from the ICFAI officials.

There has been a circular issued by HRD ministry that has ordered all the institutes coming under UGC...

I was selected in ICFAI BUSINESS SCHOOL & deposited fees Rs 80000 in march 2008, but didn't take admission, but Icfai didn't refund my fees, although it had refund fees of other candidates for which i had proof

Hi,
I am Amit Kumar Jain from hyderabad. I joined Icfai business school, hyderabad in the month of may2008 for mba, later after a month due to medical reasons i could not continue my course and had to withdraw my admission. I gave a request to postpone my admission for the next batch which starts in may2009. Before joining the course i paid 80, 000 as admission fees and then on july25, 2008 i received a letter from IBS(Icfai business school) headqauters stating that My postponement (Deferrment) of admission would be processed if I pay the fees of 1st installment of 1.34 lacs along with the submission of mark sheets of graduation on or before november 1st, 2008.The reference letter of the Letter from IBS to me is IBS-HQ/SSD/STU52 OF 2008. On october 29th, I paid 1.34lacs and done all the other formalities. but later the registrar (Mr. Venkateshwar) at IBS headoffice Hyd said that they are not sure of giving admission to IBS HYD, they are willing to give any other campus. They said that they can let me know the status about my admission to ibs hyd only in the month of APRIL 2009. The reason they gave is that they have applied for AICTE approval for hyd campus, so if any documentation problem or any other problem comes up then they wont give me hyderabad campus. I have a certificate from the Doctor at CARE HOSPITAL HYD that I am strictly advised to stay at Hyderabad because I am under a medical treatment. The letter sent to me on july25, 2008 clearly states that My deferrment is for "hyd campus". They say that they will refund my 1.34 lacs if not given admission to hyd campus, but then also i will loose my 80, 000 admission fess, the important thing above money is my career, due to this thing my career is at stake. When i send a online query to the IBS people, they say that there is no such (postponement) deferment of admission facility. There is no transparency. Whenever I try giving an formal request for this matter at IBS headquaters Hyd, the authorities just say that dont worry, we will let you know the status by april 2009 and dont even care to read my formal request, I request the concenrned authorities to please help me getting back my admission to IBS HYDERABAD and save my career.

Regards.

Respected Sir / Mam Thsi is Lokesh Chawla from Ludhiana. I was selected for PGDBM - MBA Programme at ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad. The entry into the progrmme was on a condition that we were to deposit Rs. 80000/- as secrity deposit which was duly paid by me. But It was due to my Mother's acute Blood Pressure which had crossed 180 mark & the Doctors has asked for MRI, Angiography & Hospitalisation. So in such an environment i had issued a letter to the ICFAI Authorities which was received by them on 17/6/08 that Myself Lokesh Chawla was not able o join the Course for the above reasons even i had to sacrifice my job for my mother. I had also enclosed the various Medical Prescriptions of my Mother.A Recommendation Letter duly signed by Dr. Sandeep Puri, Head DMC&H, Ludhiana But since then i have not recieved a single reply from their side. Can all the wothy members please let me know the right channel how to proceed further because 80000/- is quite a good amount for me.
Thx & Regards
