TimesPro — fake promises regarding placements and certification

Address:	700091

This is to notify you that being a student (Pgddm batch 2.3) of this esteemed institute the problems that i had to face with timespro is far from being perfect. Welcomed aboard on march 2018 with respect to the conversation i had with sayan bannerjee (Hr), i was enticed to enrol for digital marketing program even after few of my financial contingencies that i was going through. With proper help from sayan and loan department (Divya), i got the opportunity to come aboard with this marvellous program that no other competitor was offering at such a price point. Whether it be certifications from renowned brands like facebook, google or hubspot or it is receiving guidance from mentors like amar, kunal and jayant sir. I got the opportunity to learn from all three of them what i only dreamt of previously. Even after having 6 years of experience as a digital marketer there was a lot to learn. But i am bound to say with all the bells and whistles, not all seem too perfect. I too had to face lots and lots of issues regarding certain sectors. Below i have segregated them into parts for better understanding.

Capstone project: after the completion of my training from all three mentor, i got an opportunity to showcase what i learnt in terms of designing a domain-specific capstone project.
I took the project of an international client that i had and made remarkably attuned to the brand for generating sales. Below i have attached my capstone project for your reference.
During the time of enrolment i was informed that i would be getting over the shoulder guidance from one of the renowned faculty members and to my hysteria, it all went to vain. Never the less due to certain knowledge about brand awareness and advertisement promotion i completed my capstone project. Later when i approached for conferring feedback, none seemed to revert back with any. Attached snippet of the conversation i had last with them.

Placements: regarding placement opportunities, i had to face a lot of hardship while enduring with what was agreed upon. One fine day got an offer from joy vaz related to digital marketing at netscribes. To be honest i was a bit sceptical about enroling for this offer and repeatedly told him of my biased decision to work as a content writer. Clearly, the job description to me seemed to dwell upon content writing. Assurance from joy vaz about getting a suitable digital marketing opportunity from netscribes clearly asserted me to opt for this offer and sit for the interview.

In the first round of interview i had a talk with one of the hr from netscribes and asked him directly what kind of jobs are there and if so are there any digital marketing related work. Ratnadeep purkayastha being the spokesperson told me yes there are and insisted me to sit for the interview. While in the interview panel i again asked the interviewer about whether there are any seo related opportunities and she (Arja sadhukhan) told yes we do have to work with keywords researched from google adwords which are needed to be integrated into the copywriting and also list products into amazon product listings central portal.

Clearly, this interview went quite fine and they affirmed of me being selected. Hoping to get experience in this domain, i joined the organisation on the 5th of may, 2018. While working there on the first day, i was in utter shock to see a post of content writer bestowed upon me, even though i clearly stated i was not going to work for the same.
After rigorous conversations with the management team and hr, i got to know there was no digital marketing domain in kolkata branch instead it was located in mumbai branch. Due to rigorous discussions with timespro team, within just 10 minutes, the hr organised one interview inside their premises regarding seo executive. Even though i was informed there is no domain for dm, they somehow organised digital marketing domain within 10 minutes!
I appeared for the same and the interviewer didn't even ask me 1 single question regarding dm. All he asked was who was i working for, what experience i had before and that's it. Later one hr came and told me, the interview didn't click for some reason as they were looking for 6 -7 years of experience. My question is if they knew about this why didn't they think this in the first place.
So without wasting much time, i had to decide and submit my papers for leaving this organisation once and for all. If you tell me why haven't i stayed back for at least 6 months for an experience. Let's say if i had stayed back for 6 months, i would forget what i learnt from timespro within that time period. For this reason, i had to put down my papers. Now they cannot provide any such placement opportunites even to batches before pgddm 2.3.

Certification: the third problem being not getting any asseveration as to when i am going to get certificates for all the exams that i furnished. Have been to a handful of interviews recently and all have been asking to see certificates regarding the same. I was told at the time of enrolment that i would be getting certificates from facebook, hubspot and google. Now they are saying i have to endure the cost of facebook certification on my own as they cannot bear the cost for each one o[censored]s. Please take a look into this matter as soon as possible and hope to get good feedback from your end. Your cooperation is highly praised
