same case with me.. looks like somone need to stop this "KSOU BTECH SCAM".. posted same in https://www.consumercomplaints.in/karnataka-state-open-university-shivani-colleg...


Hello, Shivani College(Kachiguda) is offering FAKE Btech on Behalf of KSOU. As everyone knows KSOU is recognised but BTech programmes are not offered. But management like shivani college fooling educated people especially Diploma holders promising they will issue BTech certificate from KSOU. For the same they are charging 15000 per semester.Please stop this management from doing this so and take severe action. Thanks, Pratap.
At least KSOU should open their eyes... they should mention these illegal things on their websites at-least so that students will come to know... and all those who want to take a DEC degree must check these open universities Recognition on particular/related website like MHRD, DEC, AICTE, and not on the open universities website...

be careful

I am Seema D Gowda, a student of KSOU- Karnataka State Open University, Mysore, have been successfully trapped to take admission for MBA in HR Management online Program, on 11th July 2015, and I have paid a Lump-sum fees amount of Rs. 50, 500 (Rupees Fifty thousand five hundred) towards the course. When I was just checking for my MBA through net, I came across website : www.ksouodl.com, Pune, a KSOU coordinator - [censored]al Kumbhar - email id: [censored]al.[protected]@ksouodl.com, contact no: +91-[protected], [protected], came online to chat and started following up for admissions and further her reporting manager - Mr. Arvind Pandit - email id: arvind.[protected]@ksouodl.com, contact no: +91-[protected], +91-[protected] started calling up continuously for more than 5-6 times a day and finally, I took my admission, as they assured good online education support with well trained teachers, who will be coordinating with us on daily basis through net - ie., UTS - Universal Training Solutions Pvt. Ltd ., which is all fake. Further there was no response from their end after 20 days of severe follow up I received my Student ID : [protected], Then I started coordinating for study material, and with great difficulty and follow ups with Chaitanya - Dispatch coordinator, contact no: +91-[protected] I received books after 2 months ie., Dtd : 31-Aug-2015, then I started studying and attended the assignments - scored 99% in assignments, further followed up for examination dates as it was supposed to be in the month of December. My student counsellor - Ankur, email id: [protected]@universitysupportservices.co.in - Contact no:[protected], confirmed that exams are postponed to January, after further followups confirmed that exams are in the month of March - when I called up in the month of March, Seema Verification coordinator, contact no: +91-[protected], asked me to shift my admission to JNU - Jaipur National University, as KSOU is facing some problem with UGC Approval and when I checked in website, JNU was not having good feedback and further I did not accept to take admission in JNU, called [censored]al Kumbhar to refund my amount, she asked to write a mail to KSOU, further is not picking up my call, but student counsellor Ankur, promised to refund amount in 3 months of time, now three months of time is over, but I could not see one single person coordinating for it, they are either picking up my call, not replying on mails. People have started cheating students in the name of Education. Please help in getting my fees amount along with compensation back as I have paid it through credit card and my whole year is wasted.

Dear sir /ma'am,

I have enrolled in 2014 for executive mba... Please at least refund my fee money. It will be very greatful and responsible of your side and helps me a lot. Really it's annoying because no one is replying or questioning about fees refund???
