Let’s be clear about this, I HAVE GIVEN UP my XL NCR seat, see my previous posts and have no interest in WL movement. I URGE YOU STRONGLY TO READ this fully before deciding.
I’m just concerned for many others in this platform who are deluded about the admin’s promises. Today, the admin put out another letter (see below) and reading this I was so glad I got out of this false dreamland.
First off, you will get a degree from XL-NCR, NOT from XLRI JSR. AICTE didn’t give permission for a single institute as many have already mentioned. Hence, it is already a separate institute.
The next line cleverly says “we are firm in our intent to run common placements, summer and finals together for both campuses”
Just a few days ago, we were told that only summers will be common. Then, the PComm sent out a mail which on the surface looks nice but only EXPOSES the lies of the admin. There will never be common placements, simply because most top companies will refuse to visit a campus that is struggling to fill 100 seats from a pool of 1000+ students. Consultancies or FMCG don’t go to a single new IIM, nor IIFT, all of which have been around for far longer than XL NCR (Go to my profile and read longer posts debunking this myth of common placements)
Next, this email ends by saying – ignore others’ opinion of XL NCR and don’t get concerned about any other information. This is like a cult brainwashing, where people tell you not to question, not to doubt, just have faith in the admin and it will all work out. THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT ANY ASPIRANT SHOULD DO! If you are paying 25 lakhs, you bloody well deserve to have all facts in hand.
If the institute really had nothing to hide and was amazing, this wont be happening? You never see director of IIM ABC or even XLRI JSR writing something like this. Remember, there is never so much smoke without some fire.
Finally, my friends tell me that the director had a video call to “reassure” students about XL NCR. Can you please name a single institute in top 10 in which the director does this? Hell, director didn’t have to reassure students about Jamshedpur, then WHY XL NCR? How is this any different from Arindham Chaudhari’s IIPM scam, atleast he did it more smartly.
Join XL NCR if you want but dont be deluded and then when reality hits be disappointed. Go in with all the facts in your hand. You will never be equal to Jamshedpur, the brand wont mean shit and the admin is lying to fill up seats.
I’m just glad I got out of this false dreamland and gave up my XL NCR seat.
