Hi
Good Evening
I've paid Rs. 8000 & above for 2 Hardware course i.e. A+ & N+ in the month of May' 10 at Malad (W) centre, during the admission counselors make a promised statement that during the course students will get Practical training & also they'll not informed us that the A+ training will be conducted at Borivali centre. After taking an admission, NIIT Malad Management (Rahul, Centre head Chandana) doesn't informs that the training will be organised at Borivali (W). During the admission these guys only think about Money & nothing, because, once the money will be in, then students don't have any other option & they have to forcefully visit to the centres that they have decided.
After few days the A+ course started but none of the days neither the faculty have taken any practical assignment or neither they have approached us to give the practical training. We students have approached them but negative response that in the previous batch students have misused the system, so this time it won't be possible. Then slowly & steadily we students have concentrate on the A+ module but neither me or any of the students have understood the A+ course, because, practically we are not aware that what and how we need to do with the system.
Then the faculty have organised the mock test & out of 17-18 students approx 6 students have given the exam, because they think that they are best to give the exam but only 1 student have passed it & rest o[censored]s were asked to signed the supplementary form & the exam was extended for the rest 15 days but none of these days NIIT Borivali management have courtesy to inform any of the students for postponing the exams and when I've raised this issue at Malad centre, then the centre head Chandana, said that now they are not responsible for the same and she asked me to contact Archana the centre head at Borivali (W), Nr. Railway Stn. I took my father along with me and she said that how I dare to bring my father along with me & then I spoke her about these issues & she gave me assurance that the exam will be done for me by the end of September'10. I said her that now I don't remember the chapters and I don't have that much time to start again, because, I'm a salaried man.
The behavior of the centre head (Archana) was very rude & I'm sure that this lady is actually not suitable for this job. She promised me that for me she'll organised A+ practical training & she will inform me personally but none of these days she have informed me. I do call her & asked the status and yesterday i.e. on 09/10/2010 I called her to return the N+ book & take the refund of the rest amount i.e. around Rs. 4000 & above, she said that the book should be in the sealed condition & if it's unsealed then 60-65% will be less from the actual amount. I simply don't understand if a consumer purchase a thing then he will check and ensure that it's perfect then only he buys the thing and the N+ book which I've is unused & as it is, though I've unsealed it, as I gave an example & reason to unsealed it, she says that so & so percent will be deducted from the amount. That is totally a cheat that this institute is doing with each and every students.
I truly criticize the behavior & the way she addressed me and my problem.
Please look into this matter help me to get the refund back asap.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards

Complaint marked as Resolved Company officials have contacted me & agreed to refund back my amount. I'm very thankful to Consumer Complaints.in website to help me to get this issue to be solved.
Hats Off !!
THINK THINK!!
I heard that they are going to start the second batch and I apprehend many more of our friends would fall in this trap laid by NIIT IMPERIA. God save them.

1. It is not a “few classes” – it is 100% of the program taught. Try doing it by yourself, and clear the University exams and you’ll see the critical difference...”Distance Edn is easy to get into, tough to clear on time...check with your friends as I did and discover some stark facts!J
2. 3-4 hours a day is all of weekend?? And yes, a serious management program is never meant to be easy..
3. It was made clear to us repeatedly that text books are a supplement to the core teaching – and I have found that the class room teaching is very good. And where else would I get access to this range of very good faculty?
4. And vitally, this program that I have selected is an Executive MBA – and is globally sharper and tougher than an MBA meant for freshers...
5. I am very happy with the pressure, academic rigour and quality of faculty so far – could not have got it in one place anywhere else. I will be happy to say my CV that I was taught my some really famous professors from top institutes...it means a lot to me.
Will you feel different after 12 more months when you have your Degree in hand? I guess so...
- 3-4 hours a da is all of weekend ??? The students in the first batch had to take classes from 5.30 PM to 9.30 PM on Saturday and from 1.30 PM to 9.30 PM on sundays. This accounts for 12 hours of just classroom EVERY WEEKEND. Consider this to 6 days working professionals.. Are you trying to say this is just part of the rigor? I beg to differ Bro
- Text books and classroom suppliment-- did you try to write the term end exams by going thorugh the PPT s? I guess you havent written the exams then !!
- Term end exams are never conducted with schedules of working professionals in mind. Exams are conducted Monday to Saturday everyday without Break. How on earth do you think you will pass. for gods sake we are not full time students !!
- Another strange rules for this programme - ONLY Maximum of 8 exams can be written in a semester. Now if a back paper is there, you lost the chance of completing the course in 18 months as the program coordinators and NIIT is boasting about.
- Another interesting rule - you can write the exam of a subject maximum of three attempts and then, if you want to clear still you are liable to pay 1.8 lacs once again !!!
- Quality of faculty - Though I agree one or two were good, most of them were just reading the PPTs through and the quality was not that great for the cource fee you are paying. You can indeed debate on this, but fact is fact.
The centre staffs are not polite, approachable or reasonable 99 % of the time. You can see the difference when you are trying to enroll - they will be very pleasing personality, and once you enroll, they are like who are you? What ever you want, get in touch with Delhi and I dont know anything.!!! Crap
How can an organisation of this repute run
* Illogical class schedule (At times we've to attend weekend classes aswell).
* Delay in results.
* Faculty has no idea what/where to teach as per IGNOU curriculam.
* Results are not available in time. (Ppl are suffering as the results of 1st sem are still not available and in 25 days 2nd sem exams are going to start. There are no grade cards available for those who have already cleared 1st sem.)
* Restriction of completing the course in 3yrs. with 3attempts per paper and 8 exams restriction per sem.
* No help for final project by NIIT.
* Communication failure/avoidance by NIIT after receiving the complete payment from students.
* Non-satisfactory replies for queries raised through portal (All in one ans:-Your query has been fwded to IGNOU. & the response never comes).
* Unreasonable fines imposed on students despite NIIT's fault.
* Non-availability of syllabus details despite constant reminders.
* Poor management and incompetent staff (specially duty manager).
* Lack of basic facilities.
* Course material is completely useless as per the exam questions.
Numerous other things that are actual reasons for not joining this program. Still, if someone wants to waste their money & time then plz...help urself. In the end you'll lose one thing for sure & that is ur trust towards this brand i.e NIIT IMPERIA.
Can anyone suggest me, what is exactly about this course? How is it? Is it effective?
Yes i believe the comments made by various people.
Do you all know NIIT is publically listed comapny in India(all listed company's have to show great margins and great profict) and has been the pioneer is looting Indians in 90's.
Like NIIT there is Reliance webworld which conducts online courses.
Do you all know that all the so call premiere institutes for MBA in India have opened up shops in Bangalore for executive MBA? topic for another discussion.
