ICFAI University Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir
I am a student of ICFAI college at Guwahati center. When i got admitted to this institute, the authority had given us 100% placement after completion of course. But not even 1% student got the placement. No companies even came for campus. secondly they had never given us the information that the college ( Guwahati center) is not UGC/AICTE approve. we can;t even apply for any job. We lost our two years time with money.
Kindly tell me what to do. whether i should raise a case in the court? Kindly help me...

I am student of INC Jodhpur..we all are facing many problms regarding academics.
It is heard that negative marking rule is going to start frm academic year 2009. it is not at all fair frm students point of view. As students have taken admission in INC because there are MCQ's type of exms without any negative marking. But hw cn they start this type of rule in the mid of the course. There is a lot of mental harrasement in this college.

Another thing is that, every year, there is a fund named as Students Activity Fund which is about Rs 5, 000 per student per year..But this year, we haven't got this fund to utilize. We have sent many proposals, have made many calls, but there was no satisfactory reply. we are really fed up of this college. And I am not alone, all my classmates are with me..they all are facing same problm regarding this institute. Please help us..as we have invested 2.60 lacs Rs and have not recieved any of such facilities.

Please Help..

As a social responsibility, I have used my HSBC credit Card Online ending with 6663 for the Admission Registration Payment on behalf of a neighbor Student named Niladri De (His ICFAI enrolment number [protected]).

However, on 28.02.09 the Payment Gateway Transaction for ICFAI failed due to defective ICFAI website/database error and an online notice on the same website indicated “due to server problem all transactions on that date failed and the time has been extended to a later date”.

Therefore, my credit card should not have been debited by ICFAI for a failed transaction nor I have received any confirmation for the same transaction but error indicated on the PG website. It is to be noted that other than the intended purpose (said Registration) ICFAI can not debit my card account for any other purpose/s where this debit problem making the fact more complicated as ICFAI is taking the advantage out of the students as the credit cards used are not held by the students but by their guardians or neighbors.

Unfortunately, on 3rd March 2009, the ICFAI has illegally debited Rs. 1000/- from my said credit card and many communications with ICFAI in this regard failed me to get a reasonable result. I am incurring bank charges till date for the said illegal transaction but ICFAI remained mum.

How can a University like ICFAI act in such illegal way injuring credit card holders and socially jeopardizing students?

Any remedy against such injury done by ICFAI is available to the card holder as well as to the student concerned?

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

the ICFAI University branch ISFS which was to conduct the Admission process in Mumbai earlier has cancelled the mumbai campus suddenly. But i have taken the form of the Course for MBA in Finance from ISFS purely with an intention to study in Mumbai. Now as they have told me earlier that i will seek admissions in Mumbai Campus, but now they are saying that i[censored] r interested u need to go in Hyderabad Campus for the Course. I m purely not in a position to Go anywhere outside Mumbai, so they are cheating me after i hav paid the Admission fees and are not refunding the Admission form Fees of Rs. 1000.

Plz. look into this ASAP as many of my friends are also against this and want their money back.
We cannot waste our money bcoz of their (ICFAI) decisions.

I am Neethu S Kumar, would like to introduce myself as an unemployed postgraduate from INC, Trivandrum 2007-09 batch. This letter is being written to the authorities that to understand the promises given by the college regarding the placement assistance and offer for the job was a clear foul play. The placement department sends me for an interview on 9th September 2008 and was selected.
The offer given to me was Deputy Agency Manager from IDBI Fortis with a package of 3lakhs per annum. I was not able to attend any other interview from this date till the course completion. As for the company and college placement department assured me this job and even there was a rule in INC that if the student get placed he/she will not allow attending further campus placement interviews. I was never provided with a proper offer letter and every day I had to ask for the offer letter (this prolonged for a period of 4months).
During the last day of course completion I told the college placement coordinator that if I don’t get the offer letter anymore I will have to ask the company head office to know the status. The very next day I was given an offer letter from IDBI Fortis. It was not at all a kind of offer letter but just a letter pad with a bit of information regarding the job profile and CTC (copy attached with this letter). The letter didn’t have anything regarding the joining date and location. Days went on and I was in total transfix as no one informed me about my joining date and location. That made me to make a serious enquiry to the concerned authority in the college. They told me to directly approach IDBI Fortis’s Trivandrum branch (I was told not to show the given letter, told as offer letter to the company from the college) When I discussed the matter with the branch manager of the concerned company, I was offered a job by them with a low package and with a condition that I should make a sale of 5lakhs before the joining date (within 4days) and this was a huge insult for me as I would have never come up for this post graduation, if I wanted to end up my career as a financial advisor or insurance agent. All this I have written is a brief about what was happened.
Now I would like to point out what I have lost due to this entire situation. I couldn’t attend any other interview due to this assured job. I have done this MBA program for the course fee of 2.26lakhs that the organization has charged, the entire amount was taken as education loan by me. The entire trust on this college and management has gone down and that make me feel ashamed for being a student of INC. This entire subject should be given immense consideration and I truly believe the management will provide me with a solution for this and seriously see that such pathetic situation will never come again for a student.

My name is Avishek Podder, i got admission at ICFAI Distance MBA course on 28th march, after one week they informed me that my application of admission was rejected because of my graduation percentage. They want 45% i had 38% but at the time of admission they did not check that, so they told me my admission rejected and they will gime me back Rs 15000 and Rs 30000 PDC with in one week. So after this matter today is 7th may i have not received my Rs 15000 and Rs 3000 PDC. After one month i mailed them and they replyed me this

I am a student of Icfai National college, salem. things which happened during my studies all are fraud and they didn't ful fill any promises during the admission. they told they will furnish wi-fi connection but nothing step was taken. Guest lacturing not even a single lecturer came. Placements not even a student placed in a reputed in a good company all insurance companie only. Laptops they given all are of a bad quality not working properly. during admission they told they will conduct 4 Industrial Visits, but actually only one visit held. during the admission they will tell that all banks giving loan but in bank they are telling that No loan for icfai students and in large concerns they are not even allowing inside the campus for icfai students. For Blazer they collected Rs.2000 but even after completing our MBA we are yet to received the blazers. please please please no one join in this college. be aware of these people.

IcfaiTech is a group of engg. colleges in Dehradun, bangalore, hyderabad, jaipur. The campus in dehradun is recognized by UGC and this campus has full reputation and infrastructure. Its constituents are running in the above mentiöned cities which is illegal. It cant run its off-campus centres. When this thing was told to the students of other centres while adding that they will be given diploma instead of degrees, they got angered on this and protest is going on in those centres. It was IcfaiTech Dehradun's degree which was promised to the students of these campuses which was illegal. According to the ICFAI management, its just IcfaiTech Dehradun which is the main centre and no campus has any relation with icfai. The students have been cheated. Morover, one of its campuses i.e Icfaitech Dehradun is ranked at 21st number in the latest magazine survey of top 50 private engg. institutes in india. Now the question is, what's going to happen with the students of other centres?

DEAR SIR/MADAM
IT IS VERY SORRY AND SAID TO INFORM THAT MY PF AMOUNT HAS NOT BEEN CREDITED TO MY ACCOUNT. I HAD SUBMITTED MY WITHDRAWAL FORM ON 05.01.2009. CHEQUES PREPARED ON 25.3.2009 AND 23.3.2009. BUT IT HASNT BEEN CREDITED TO MY ACCOUNT YET.

ANY ACTION ON THIS???????????????????????????????
MY PF ACCOUNT NO. 16939/04242

I am a student of ICFAI TECH INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, Bangalore for B.Tech Degree Course The College is not approved by AICTE or UGC . At the time of admission the college authorities here claimed that we are running a recognized branch of ICFAI University Dehradun. And the prospectus, admit cards, ID cards, Gradesheets, and other certificate clearly show that the college was a branch of ICFAI UNIVERSITY, DEHRADUN and everywhere it mentions B.tech Degree Course.
On march 28, 2009 we came to know that Rishabh Jain, a student of ICFAI NATIONAL COLLEGE(another branch of Icfai Foundation) has lodged a complaint against the Icfai university, dehradun about Fraud in the Hon. Supreme Court. In deffence the University said that ", ICFAI university Dehradun had no study centre, constituent colleges, off-campus centers outside the state and its prospectus had categorical declaration to this effect" Now the students of ICFAI TECH Bangalore are on a strike to save their futures. The Director says that we may get either Degree or diploma But we Demand DEGREE. On asking for any written statement about the future of more than 300 students he blindly refused to do so, he doesn't even tell us what steps is the college management going to take in order to ensure the safe future and a valid degree for the students of Icfai Tech Bangalore. The same case is with Icfai Tech Jaipur and Hyderabad.
this is one of the costliest Engineering college in India with fees as high as 130000 P.A. The students are very Depressed thinking about their future, A large no. of students study on loans and if their future is ruined they will definitely commit suicide. Now we request the Court to please consider our plea and take immideate actions as future of Ist IInd IIIrd and IVth year students is in danger
we cannot accept a diploma after paying a large amount and even having wasted precious years of our career.
# If Mr. Rishabh jain can read this pls mail me at [protected]@gmail .com

thanks

Sub. : Non disclosure of refund details and cheating done in refund.

Dear Concern,
As per ref. given above, your letter states that cancellation of enrollment was done under special case on my desire. But my desire was only because o[censored]nfair Business Practices followed by each & everyone, starting from Development executive to Central Student Service Dept. of your university.
Further, in my all previous correspondence I have asked for refund of Rs. 46, 500/-(including PDCs) I have paid towards course fee. But I have received cheque for only Rs. 22, 000/-. Can you give me details with this regard?
As my enrollment is cancelled and my name has been permanently deleted from your official records from 6th Jan 2009, I have given stop payment order to my banker on 10th Jan 2009 against PDCs I have given. (This is already communicated to you in my previous correspondences dated 27th Oct 2008, 1st Nov 2008 and 6th Nov 2008).
I have paid 27, 600 in cash till date (excluding PDCs) but only Rs.22, 000 has been refunded to me. Where balance of Rs. 5600 has gone? Are there any such charges for your Unfair Business Practices?
You may make sure that 5, 600 Rs. Pending from you towards me will be paid to me with in next 6 working days (on or before 24th Jan). If not all further correspondences are addressed directly to below mentioned authorities for the same and all the mental & emotional harassments gone through me:

Sub: Regarding Unfair Business Practices by your University.

Dear Sir,

With the intention of M.B.A study I joined ICFAI but in enrollment stage itself each & every person at your university are lying to me. Even your Business Development Manager and Student Service Dept. also are having such unfair practice. I am not even getting any proper reply for my mails from them. Pls go through the attached mails from your SSD & Business Development manager and let me know lying to student is a fair practice?

I even request you to arrange for cancellation of enrollment & return my money of Rs. 46, 500 (Rs. 27, 600 already encashed & 6300 x 3 PDCs) as earliest as possible.

Looking forward for your timely reply.
Thanks & Regards
Santhosha Nayak. S

Dear All,
Pls go through the attached annexure which is self explanatory about the standards of service and business practices followed by your business Development manger and Student Service Dept. (Pls find the attached annexure of e-mails sent by your SSD, BDM & myself.) Pls analyze following points your self & do the necessary arrangements for cancel my enrollment & return back money I have paid.

1) False Commitment by Development executive:
On 29th Sep 08 when I paid down payment of Rs. 15, 000, your development executive committed me delivery of course ware & call form programme coordinator regarding commencement of classes with in 10 days. But I didn’t get neither course ware nor call from programme coordinator, nor any communication (except receipt for payment) from anyone of your institution till 22nd Oct, even after continuous telephonic follow up with your development executive. So I expressed my decision of withdrawing M.B.A from your institute on 22nd Oct. 08 in telephone as well as in e-mail.
2) Unfair Business Practices by your Business Development Manager :
As reply to my mail of with drawing M.B.A, your Business development manager mentioned in her mail that books were delivered from H.O on 10th Oct 08 & returned back twice by Courier Company as there was lock at my place!!! But your H.O SSD team itself saying that books were dispatched from their side on 23rd Oct!!!.
Further to this your B.D.M is giving false reason that books were returned back twice by courier company!!! Pls note that no courier company will return the consignment with out communicating to consignee in general. If it has been sent twice why didn’t she confirmed my address & availability before sending it second time?
The answer for all these above queries from your BDM is only the silence, till date! Even she didn’t shown courtesy to receive my phone calls. What a great business development!!
3) Unfair practice of business by yor Student Support Dept.:
As reply to my mail of with drawing M.B.A, your SSD replied on 23rd Oct 08 stating that my enrollment letter has been already sent to me through e-mail on 3rd Oct. 08!!! But I received the same on 22nd Oct 08 (after my telephonic intimation of with drawing course), & even that letter is dated 22nd Oct.08. Pls let me know is it possible to send a letter dated 22nd Oct. on 3rd Oct 08?




On the top your SSD is advising me to be in touch with Courier Company by giving me consignment number. Is it my responsibility to be in touch with Courier Company as to get my books? Are your SSD ’s responsibilities ends when the course ware is dispatched from your place? Am I paying to your courier company or you? Who is having contract with courier company me or you? Who has to do the follow up me or your SSD about delivery? Your Student Service Dept. is advising more than providing services.

All the people, I approached in your institute till date are following unfair practice of telling lie to your students, either to disguise their mistakes or retain your business. Now no faith is left with me on your faculty, examiners, evaluators…..

Now, do you expect me to accept all these unfair practices & continue? Do you think telling lies to student as to retain him is fair practice? Do you think students at your institute are having any value in such a scenario? Are they getting true value for the fee they are paying?
Below mail is stating that regulations in force don’t allow canceling the admission, Does any regulations allows you to follow unfair practices in your business or service? Here I am continuously facing unfair practice from your institute, and I am fully dissatisfied with your services. Your institute is forcing compulsion on me to continue & pay all EMIs. Doesn’t it seem a state of monopoly where I have to pay for dissatisfactory services? I took conscious decision & gave firm commitment by referring your glamorous advertisements in media & having faith on your institute with out knowing truth.
Having dissatisfaction on your service standards & business practices, I am not continuing M.B.A with your institute where there is no value to me & my money. I don’t want to waste my money as well as precious time being a student of an institute having unfair practice of giving false commitments & false statements.
I don’t want to get a Masters Degree in Business from an institute which is itself having unfair practice of Business.
As I am canceling at enrolment stage itself, with out having/enjoying any kind of services from your institute, I request you authorities to do the necessary arrangements for repayment of my money of Rs .46, 500 (Rs. 21, 300 already encashed & 6300 x 4 PDCs) as earliest as possible.

Your soonest reply & action would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & regards,
Santhosha Nayak. S

Dear Mr.Santhosha Nayak S,
You may note that students are required to pay the program fee as per the prospectus at the time of enrollment itself. However, for the benefit of those students who could not pay the program fee and to avoid hassles associated with arrangement of funds through alternative sources, the EMI facility is offered to faclitate such students to pursue the program.
Accordingly, the facility was extended to you on your specific request and commitment to honor the PDCs issued for the facility.
You are, therefore advised to ensure honoring of all the PDCs on time.

Student Services Department.

Hi…
Thanks for your reply. You are saying me to continue M.B.A with ICFAI, but such false commitments & false statements are still continuing. I hope, being sales development manager, you & your management can clarify my following points with valid & reasonable answers.
1) As reply to my mail to Mr. Chirag (dated 22nd Oct 08) your SSD(Student Supporting Dept.!!!) has sent me a mail on 23rd Oct 08 stating that my enrollment letter has been already e-mailed to my e-mail id on 3rd Oct. 08. But I received e-mail of enrollment letter on 22nd Oct.08 and that letter itself states that it’s drafted on 22nd Oct. Pls let me know is it possible to your SSD to e-mail a letter on 3rd Oct, which is drafted on 22nd Oct? If so why can’t they fwd me that mail of 3rd Oct 08 even after my request?
2) Further to this your SSD is advising me to do the follow up with Blue Dart courier by giving me consignment number for delivery of courseware for Group – A. (mail from SSD dtd 24th Oct 08. Pls let me know your Student Service Dept. is there to provide service to students or advise the students?
If I have to do the follow up with the courier company for my courseware, why I have to join the ICFAI by paying lakhs of Rs fee towards course? Even govt. based open universities offer M.B.A at very lower fee. I joined ICFAI expecting better & qualitative service for my money. But here it is only false commitments & false statements!!!
3) In your mail you are saying that my course material was dispatched from your HQ on 10 Oct 08 & it was returned back twice as there was lock at my place. But your SSD is saying that it has been dispatched from their side on 23rd Oct 08!!(mail from SSD dtd. 24th Oct 08) Can you pls provide with valid receipt no. for courier sent from your place & valid documentary proof given to you by Courier Company for lock at consignee’s place?
4) You are saying that courier was sent twice & returned back both the times as there was lock at my place. If so, why didn’t you confirm with me, about my availability time at home & correctness of address before sending it second time?
5) After having all this bitter experience continuously,
a) How can I believe that in future you will give me better service?
b) How can I believe that my examinations will conduct on time?
c) How can I believe that examination question papers will supplied to exam centers required security?
d) How can I believe that my answer papers will evaluated honestly at your university?





Finally, after experiencing all these false commitments & false statements, I am going to withdraw my decision of M.B.A from ICFAI at enrollment stage itself. Pls arrange for repayment of my Rs. 15000(Fifteen thousand) within next 7 bank working days (the word ‘bank’ stands for bank scheduled under RBI act.). If same amount is paid through outstation cheque or any other outstation bank instruments ICFAI need to pay clearing & any other charges as applicable. (the word outstation is with reference to my banker, i.e AXIS BANK LTD. Thane Branch).
If repayment is made within next 7 bank working days (the word ‘bank’ stands for bank scheduled under RBI act.), the separate mail will be sent to my banker as an order of stop payment against post paid cheques issued to ICFAI. If not this same mail will be forwarded for the same.

Hope you and your management will revert back to me with proper clarification to all my above points, otherwise I need to ask clarification to these points with general public with public interest & public awareness.
Looking forward for your reply.
Attached below (highlighted in yellow color) are the mails I received from your SSD for your ref.
Thanks & Regards,
Santhosha Nayak.S
