Twenty year old Devender Singh had applied for an eight-month course at the Indian Institute of Hardware Technology, based in Yamuna Vihar in September, 2005, after he read about their Because of his family's financial condition, he had to work part time to shell out the fee amount. Over two years have passed since then but even half the course has not yet been completed, Singh said. Singh, along with three other students of the same course, have complained to the East District Consumer forum, demanding fee refund and a compensation of Rs 1 lakh from the institute. Singh had completed his Class XII when he took admission at the institute. He wanted a job desperately because his father had retired from the railways five years back and the pension amount was not enough. He enrolled in the GNET pro, thinking that on the completion of the the course he would get a job.
"The last two years have been a complete waste of time and my hard earned money. I have now enrolled in IGNOU for BCA course," Singh told Newsline. His friends, Gaurav Kashyap and Deepak Singh, had also joined with him. Kashyap too has enrolled for a BCA course, while Deepak has joined an MCA course. Kashyap said, "The teachers at the institute do not stay for more than two months. And each new teacher claimed that the earlier teacher was wrong, and the taught portions would be repeated. This went on and out of the seven modules, only two and a half modules have been completed so far." Deepak said no action was taken despite repeated complaints with the directors. Their lawyer N K Singh Bhaduria said, "The said institute has branches all over India. And we have come to know of many students who are suffering at their hands." When contacted, the institute's director Ashish Choudhary claimed that he was not in a position to speak, while the other director, Ravinder Rawat refused to comment. Source:Indian Express,31 Oct,07
