Icfai Business School [ibs] — unethical practices

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

I am a student at ibs pune and i am not surprised to see such negativity about the college.
I have several such experiences to share with you all, i will share a few for now.
To start with the admission process
1. They claim the admission process is centralised and that everyone needs to go to hyderabad to give an interview and then the selected candidates will be allotted campuses based on their assessment. This is completely false. After i came into ibs i got to know that there were interviews held in campuses such as pune and mumbai and students were selected from those particular campuses. That means the candidates who went to hyderabad were not assessed along with the candidates who appeared for interview directly in mumbai or pune. This is a clear case of cheating and fraud.
2.in the 4th semester there were options given for electives for specialization.
Me being a core finance student opted for the subject. Of mergers and acquisitions which was cancelled just before the start of 4th semester
The reasons which they gave are laughable.
They have made individual rules for separate campuses, in reply they said that the subject of m&a is too technical for the students and hence it is cancelled and also "minimum 20 students need to opt for a particular elective" only then they will consider that subject.
All of this is not present in the student handbook which contains all the rules and information.
Hearing such reply i had a thought in my mind (What if we did the same thing that they r doing? In that case we can say the same thing that we will only pay full fees if they actually teach all the subjects they offer!)
There are several severe issues with this institution. I think these 2 are enough to tell their character and how they function.
Please feel free to comment if someone of you have faced the same situation.. I. Absolutely sure that a lot of students have gone through such problems.
