Hello,
I was a student at national institute of fashion technology (Nift), bangalore. I have currently transferred to nift mumbai. A person from shiksha.com got in touch with me through facebook a year ago, when i was studying in bangalore.
I was requested, rather coaxed into creating a shiksha account and registering for something called campus connect, where i was to help aspirants for fashion design/nift with their queries. I never got time to answer any questions during that academic year as our schedules were very busy, so i never logged into shiksha, but would regularly get a lot of emails from shiksha informing me about people who have posted questions for me to answer about fashion design/nift, on my campus connect dashboard. Not just that, shiksha would send other emails as well, related to a variety of subjects.
I don't need an account on shiksha, i never did. I don't have an option to delete my account. And i can't understand so many things about this site, primarily these:
1) why is this shiksha campus connect dashboard not accessible through the main website called shiksha.com? I can only reach there through links in my email.
2) the campus connect page that gets displayed has only the questions asked waiting to be answered, and a task tab. To the left, it displays outdated personal details, like my previous college (Nift bangalore), and my course. I can't freaking edit my personal details. I can't change the profile picture uploaded to the site. I literally can't make any changes to my profile, can't click on it. There is no settings link, just nothing. Though what i really want to do is delete the freaking account permanently from both shiksha campus connect and shiksha.com.
3) how on earth does shiksha not have a 'delete my account' option?
4) why do random people from shiksha.com get in touch with students through social networking sites and drag them into volunteering to help aspirants? This should be a personal choice. Because i even indicated my unwillingness over the phone of getting into this a year ago, but the person on facebook (Whom i'd given my number to thinking its a professional matter), told me they need students from my nift centre to join and it would be really nice if i could help, bla, bla. I even suggested that they could try asking some other students at nift blore, but they eventually convinced me i should do it, and that i could back out any time, which i apparently can't do.
Please help, its really frustrating. I am in no position to answer questions, or more than anything, to have a useless profile lying around, because i ain't answering any questions.
Please help asap.
Thank you in advance.
