Fraud BSchool Watch - P C Chandra School of Business(PCCSOB)

Saptarshi.pccsb — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:24:24 GMT

To
Mr R.P.Singh
Dean, Distance Education
Punjab Technical University(PTU)

Sir,

I am a final year MBA student of P.C.Chandra School of Business, Kolkata (LC : 824) under Punjab Technical University(PTU). I write this letter on behalf of all the students of our college. I would like to draw your attention to various malpractices committed by P.C.Chandra School of Business, Kolkata.

P.C.Chandra School of Business(PCCSOB) takes Rs 3.4 lakhs/- as course fees for its MBA course. But they don�t provide value for the money they take from students.

1) There aren�t sufficient faculties for the specialization papers of PTU syllabus for MBA. For e.g the same faculty takes classes for �Management Principles�, �Marketing�, �Business Environment� and �Operations�. Another single faculty takes classes for �Economics�, �Finance� and �IT�. Time and classes allotted for specialization papers of PTU MBA course like Finance and Marketing are minimal.

2) PCCSOB authorities have designed a syllabus of their own which is contradictory to & violates the PTU syllabus for MBA. Students are coerced and threatened to spend more time in hair dressing saloon (for skin & hair care) and around the dining table in canteen in the name of PERSONAL GROOMING!

Hardly any time is allocated for topics included in PTU Syllabus, though at the time of admission college authorities leverage the name of PTU, one of the renowned universities of India. Students have the feeling that they are attending some fashion designing course rather than MBA- Marketing/Finance/HR/IT!

Poor results of college students in PTU exams are a proof of this. Almost 80% of the students had to reappear in at least one subject in the last two PTU semester exams.

3) Very often Telephone Operator cum Receptionist takes classes for IT, as a result concepts of Computers which are so important are not at all clarified.

4) Just after admission first year students are subjected to harsh ragging by seniors, in violation of the laws of the land. Complaining to college authorities are in vain.

5) College is also involved in various fraudulent activities for arrangement of Educational Loans for students. College offers to arrange for counterfeit documents (address proof & salary slips) for students to avail educational loans from various banks. Mr. Avishek Auddy, Director & Mr. Sujit Mukherjee, Admissions Executive take all the initiative in these crimes.

6) Though the course is of duration of two years, students are made to pay all the fees of Rs 3.4 lakhs/- within first year only.

7) Students are forced to conduct various promotional campaigns and street rallies for commercial publicity of P.C.Chandra Group, wasting their regular class hours.

8) College authorities have tied up with various third party companies, and students are made to spend around six months (out of two years) in those companies in the name of internship. College earns money by lending their students, where as students are paid absolute nothing. Few of the students were made to serve in menial jobs at the �Senator� hotel(under P.C.Chandra Group) and various jewelry shops of P.C.Chandra Group at Kolkata (herein lies the motive of making students & faculties spend more time on hair dressing than studies).

9) Security deposit of Rs 10, 000/- is also not refunded on time.
Management and faculties always threaten students for not raising any issues outside college premises. Students are also told to consider and value their internal marks (25 marks out of 100) which the learning center (824) decides.

One student MANISH CHOUDHARY (720824016) was maliciously given 10 out of 50 (pass marks: 20) in the 2nd semester internal paper �WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY� by the college authority. He has to reappear in the paper RP-P7_I (WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY).

Manish has passed and faired well in all the other external papers of 2nd semester. His only fault was he had questioned college authorities over their internship policies.
I would request you to kindly investigate the matter about the various malpractices of P.C.Chandra School of Business, Kolkata (LC : 824) and take necessary actions, according to the law of the land, without revealing my name.

I would also like you to please ensure that Punjab Technical University(PTU) syllabus and guidelines are adhered to, and more time is given for covering PTU syllabus, so that results of students at semester exams of PTU improve and students get due value for their time and money.

Kindly keep a watch on the performance, i.e. improvement of the students in the upcoming PTU semester examinations, otherwise consider your affiliation to P.C.Chandra School of Business, Kolkata (LC : 824).

Yours Sincerely,

SAPTARSHI BHATTACHARYA

B-School Competitions

gvi.shekar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:42:16 GMT

Dear All
Every now and then our colleges launch an inter B-school competition. It is difficult to cascade the information to all the schools and ensure participation. At the same time, everyone who wants to participate in the competition does not get to do so as he/she has no idea of the exact criteria, the due dates or of the entire competition itself.

Pagalguy as a community is the best tool for cascade of information to B-schoolers. I thought, maybe, we can share links and information about the competitions in this thread.

So please post any links and other data about Bschool competitions that are currently live or would go live in the future.

@mods, there is a thread for B school events but none for competitions.

Cheers!
