WLC College – Qualification
2010 April 24
Posted by Student Mentor @ http://wlccollege.blog.com/
Welcome to WLC College !
For past 13 years, WLC has been operating in India under the disguise of a College affiliated to Wigan & Leigh College, UK. With academic year 2010, they have started offering PDBM – Professional Diploma in Business Management in lieu of PGDBE – Post Graduate Diploma in Business Economics.
FAQ’s:
WHAT IS PDBM?
PDBM is professional diploma. It does not mean that it is Post Graduate. It does not have any validity and recognition of a professional body or industry. By no means it is equivalent to an MBA or PGP program offered by autonomous institutions.
WHAT IS CMI?
Also the Certifications offered by CMI, UK are not recognised by any industry within India. CMI is recognised only within UK.
WILL I GET AN INTERNSHIP?
The internship offered while you are studying in WLC College is equivalent to a job that even an HSC passed candidate is elligble. As the WLC program itself has no recognition there is no point in spending half a million rupees on it.
WILL I GET A BANK OR GOVERNMENT JOB?
NO. WLC College is not recognised by AICTE or UGC. So you are not elligible for any Bank or Government Job.
IS IT AFFILIATED TO WIGAN & LEIGH, UK?
It is not affiliated to Wigan & Leigh, UK. It merely provides students an equivalence certificate on payment of 400 pound fee to Wigan & leigh.
Wigan & Leigh does not conduct any audit in WLC India. WLC India has changed its domain from wiganindia.org to wlci.in.
Nor does WLCI is an abbrivation of Wigan & Leigh College India.
WHY IS GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NOT ACTING AGAINST WLC?
WLCI is registered as a company under Training & Placement Category. Legally it is operating like any other HR Consultant. Recently they changed their domain from wigan to wlci to avoid any legal trouble. Hence they are not doing anything illegal as they dont mention the word college anywhere.
WHY & WHO SHOULD OPT FOR CHOOSE WLCI ?
If you have done miserably in MBA entrance exams like CET/CAT/XAT/MAT and you have enough money to splurge to justify your stay in a big city then you can opt for WLCI.
COST CUTTING MEASURES BY WLCI IN TIMES OF RECESSION?
* Teaching hours per module were reduced from 39 Hours per module to 30 Hours in 2009
* Online/Virtual classes are given to students if the batch size is small. Hence they save on salaries
* Fire employees and switch to virtual classes. Hence reduce on salary. Also they never pay employees their last month salary which accounts for huge savings for the top management.

this is the words from the CEO to a news paper on Saturday, Jun 14, 2003
Mr Vinay Pasricha, CEO and Director of Wigan & Leigh (India), said the college offers courses on business management, fashion technology, advertising and graphic designing. Media studies are offered both for graduates and undergraduates.
"We are here to make money but not at the cost of the students' future. Our students are successful because we teach them what industry demands. The promoters have not taken a single penny out of the company. Instead, profits have been continuously invested back into it," Mr Pasricha told Business Line.
but now they are just not seeing anything creating a situation for student to suicide ..plz help me i am a student and frustrated for my job.
If u feel the complainer's english is SO WEAK that he is worth 8000 only, how did he got admission in WLC... How did he clear WAT???? Is the level of ur entrance exam so low???? nd u proudly advertise it as ONE OF THE LARGEST B-SCHOOL IN INDIA, STATE OF THE ART INFRASTRUCTURE, bla bla bla... nd the entrance exam of such a GR8 college is so bull shit????
U hav the % of student who got placed as traineeship, but do u know how many students have been REJECTED admission in college???? NONE... every one walkin in the campus gets admission... the college's slogan shud be : WLC - A threat to ur future... or : TUM MUJHE PAISE DO, MEIN TUMHE DEGREE DUNGA (ooops... sorry... not DEGREE, DIPLOMA... That too PGDBE *with terms and conditions applied)
When we took admission in this college, we never saw our seniors for 2 months... when our juniors joined the college, they never saw us for around 2 months... Because the college is SO SURE that the existing students will give only and only NEGATIVE feedback about the college... If there is a real man in this entire institute, come forward and deny these charges... If the college management feels their rules are so impressive and targeted towards the improvemennt of students, why dont they disclose it during admission...
Why is the student handbook which comprises all the rules and regulations given to student AFTER admission???? And Mr.Sameer how can college suspect students might cause losses to college??? I'll tell u the actual reason in case this esteemed organization has not told u themselves, they take security deposit coz they know once the students get to know all the rules and regulations, they might not be in a position to pay the charges and hidden costs levied by the college...
Answer me, WHY DOES A STUDENT AVAIL LOAN TO STUDY???? simple reason, he does not have money to afford his studies... Now once a student takes loan and joins college, he is been told about the money he has to pay apart from the fees... Before taking admission, the college will give the prospective students tea, coffee, offer snacks etc... once they take admission, they will have to pay even for the tea they take in cutting edge camps...
U answer to these questions first, then i'll ask u other questions... and trust me there are tons of them... and i know, u wont answer to any of these...
For all the students planning to take admission in WLC, please its my request, JUST REJECT THE IDEA... neither do any research on it (I have already done enough) just dont take admission...
plz close this school so that other peoples future should not be risked.
Thanks,

WLC College India: All you MUST know
Does it offer a vocational or professional course, a certificate or diploma? Is it valid? What’s the relationship between WLC, UK and WLCI? Careers360 seeks the answers.
http://www.careers360.com/news_3751-WLC-College-India-All-you-need-to-know-pre-admissions
IT all started in 1996, when Wigan and Leigh made a promising beginning with its first campus in Delhi. It was a pioneering start of the study model 'earn while you learn'. This model enables students to attend classes for half-a-day and spend the rest training in a related industry, gathering hands-on experience.
'I interned with Kotak Securities and later with HSBC Bank where I was getting a stipend of approximately Rs. 7, 000, 'says former student Pooja Sharma, founder of Connect2Consult, a software consultancy firm. After working with Traxon India - a campus placement - she opened her own enterprise. 'I was satisfied with the industry exposure,' she says.
According to TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION, the premier publication on higher education in the UK, Wigan and Leigh College, UK (WLC, UK) set up a company called Wigan and Leigh College (India), joining hands with Indian partners. WLC College India then went about offering its franchise for £36,000.
The aggressive hunt for sub-franchising by WLC College India had even become a matter of concern for British Council of India, which expressed its concern on the quality control that arose out of the college's plans of franchisee network build-up (read full story). But according to the promoter Mr. Vinay Pasricha, the relationship between WLC, UK and WLC College India was a partnership and not franchisor/franchisee. 'The college was an Indian entity from the start,' he says.
Also Read: Franchise brochures jumped gun
Till 2004, WLCI also used to run three of Edexcel's qualifications, in business, fashion and Art & Design. Edexcel is the UK's awarding body that provides internationally recognised academic and vocational qualifications.
'Edexcel used to award BTEC certificates to WLCI students till the time WLCI ran our qualifications,' says Vikas Mirmira, regional marketing manager, Edexcel.
'Right now WLCI is not offering any Edexcel qualification,' he adds. Edexcel allows its qualifications to be offered only after accrediting an institution after a check on its available resources and facilities.
The first move to delink from WLC, UK was made by the owners in India in 2006. In February 2006, Wigan and Leigh (India) registered itself as WLC College (Application number 1420350/ Class 41). They also went on to list other names similar to Wigan & Leigh, UK.
WLC College India with Label (Application No. 1420352)
* WLC Wigan & Leigh College India with Label (Application No. 1420353)
* WLC College India with Label (Application No. 1420354)
* WLC Wigan & Leigh College India with Label (Application No.1420355)
* WLC Education Foundation (Application No. 1420351)
All these applications were dated 10/2/2006. It is another matter that the Government of India allows such misleading names to be registered, knowing fully well the harm it can cause to students.
According to Mr. TPS Arora, COO, from 2007, onwards they began advertising themselves as WLC College, India and the decision to move from Wigan & Leigh College India to WLC College, India was taken to build an Indian brand. Mr. Pasricha claims, 'We are using acronym WLC after taking permission from Wigan and Leigh College, UK.' However, no attempt has been made to communicate to the students that WLCI no longer has the same relationship with WLC, UK and that these two are different entities. Added to this is the deceptively similar names used by WLC College India. For example their entrance test, which used to be Wigan Aptitude Test is now WLC Admission Test (WAT) .
And now, no programmes of WLC College India are audited or accredited by any external agency like Edexcel. Mr. Arora claims their courses are internally audited by WLC, UK (which also implies that they are not audited by Edexcel or QAA, making these qualifications invalid in UK). The students only get an equivalence certificate from WLC, UK for which they pay. But by its own admission, WLC College India has modified its syllabus to suit Indian market. The compromise on the quality of pedagogy and delivery mechanism, if any, which might result out of this dilution of relationship is a subjective issue best left for WLC College India to respond and work upon, for its own future.
Outcomes
Traineeship: This is the core of the programme, wherein the students work in a company after the classes are over by 11 a.m. A cross section of students informs us, it is basically frontline jobs, and predominantly in sales. The jobs are demanding and some of them get paid on an incentive basis. When coupled with industry-oriented course materials, it makes students job-ready than most management courses do. But as seen in Karishma Kanuga's case, this does not seem to happen all the time (See Box).
Placements: Considering that the positioning of WLC College India is that of a finishing school, in comparison with many others it does quite well. It is able to place more than one-third of the total students, at reasonable salary levels. While this might be a reasonable achievement considering the quality of student intake, one wonders whether the student is aware of the difficulties, in getting placed when he or she enrols (See Box Traineeship & Placement Data).
Further education: WLC College India offers its own certification, which only has the value that an industry recruiter bestows upon it. As far as our understanding goes, the PGD award one gets from WLC, UK, unless it is accredited by Quality Assurance Agencyy (QAA) would not be considered for immigration purpose in the UK or any other country. We have tried getting validation for this fact from every government body overseeing the education quality in the UK like the Skills Funding Agency, Ofqual, Ofsted, QAA but after several follow-ups with each of these agencies, we failed to get any satisfactory answer. Instead, we were directed to WLC, UK, which chose to keep silent on all the questions we raised.
Our advice
What WLC College India might offer students is an easier access to entry level jobs, and some academic inputs. The traineeships definitely groom students and make them job-ready, besides the access. However, if you are into higher studies or are seeking a qualification that is legal, WLC India is not for you.
Karishma, the whistle-blower
In January 2006, Pune-based Karishma Kanuga, took admission in mass media course in WLCI, Pune campus. But 41 days passed by without a single class or lecture to a batch of three students. Miffed, Kanuga's father filed a complaint against WLCI with the Pune District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum in January 2008. '
The course was not AICTE approved and was therefore illegal,' says Vasudeo Vensimal Kanuga, father of Karishma Kanuga. 'My daughter lost one academic year,' he adds. Since there was 'deficiency in service' (as the court said in favour of the case), Kanuga got full refund of the fees (Rs. 1.28 lakh) along with 9 percent interest in addition to Rs. 50,000 as compensation for losing an academic year. It took a year-and-a-half for the verdict to arrive.

COMPLAINT
Wigan and Leigh College, UK - Profiteering out of Indian students
The role of WLC, UK does not appear to be above board, seeking to profiteer out of the desperate need by Indian students for any international diploma. From October onwards Careers360 made many telephone calls and sent e-mails to every available official functionary of the institution. After many promises to respond later, as we go to press, WLC, UK has not come on record on any issue, instead a few e-mails were diverted to WLC India.
According to Mr. Arora, the students of WLC, India can obtain a Post Graduate Diploma Certificate from Wigan and Leigh UK. This certificate is termed as 'equivalence' certificate. In order to obtain the 'equivalence' certificate from WLC, UK, students of WLCI are required to pay an equivalence fee of £450 (Advanced level courses) and £300 (Professional Level) directly to Wigan and Leigh College, UK. What does the equivalence stand for? Does the equivalence certificate hold any significance in UK employment market? WLC, UK again doesn't answer.

WLC College - Management Students’ Strike in WLC, Lucknow,India
http://www.shvoong.com/books/469484-management-students-strike-wlc-lucknow/
Management students of Wigan & Leigh College held a strike on Wednesday, November 29th, in the college premises by boycotting the classes. They were agitated and upset about the misleading course they are pursuing. According to the students of the current batch, the management had fooled them to pursue PGDBE (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Economics) course than PGDBM (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management), for which they had enrolled themselves. The students feel that their investment of lakhs of rupees has gone down the drain by getting admission in WLC. They want only to pursue the PGDBM course, which is a Degree. They believe that in India the Diploma will not be recognized and they cannot get a decent placement after course completion. According to the Centre Head, Mr. Verma, “It was not a strike but confusion”. The issue is not about the degree or the diploma recognition but the contents of PGDBE. Earlier to the strike, the students had communicated with Ms. Malobika Sen Gupta, CEO, WLC, on the internet for the same concern. She replied that PGDBE is the latest curriculum approved by the WLC, UK. According to the faculty member of the local college, they have agreed to incorporate the two courses. The students were not available for any comments. Mr. Verma further said, “The students were well aware of the course and its recognition during enrollment. Yet they want a written clarification about it”. The PGDBE course is what the industry wants globally. Placements after course completion are the main concern of students who manage to enter such professional institutes. But the management has organised campus interviews with companies like Info media and Karvy. In some cases students are short listed and sent to companies for interviews. What follows simply depends on their individual capabilities.Classes resumed in the college today.

Hello Every body,
I am Avinash Kumar Tripathi, I was submitted my registration money in the college on the date of 15 september 2009, On that time when I inquired about study then the college said that the college gives M.B.A degree but now He told that The college gives PGPBE (Post Graduate Programme In Business Economics) and the college said that your class will be started on 27 september and your education loan will be sanctioned during one month.But Neither my loan was sanctioned nor the class started on due date.Now the college said that he will not return my registration money.So in that case I want that the College refund my money.And i want to say that the college is not good for management study because the college not recognised by Indian Government or not recognised by any other Indian University...

Wigan and Leigh college is a Fake. It says that it is affiliated from U.K., but thats all lies. It is just misusing the name of UK university. Its not even recognised in India and in U.S.
I passed in 2004 and I got my Advance Diploma certificate in 2007. Please dont play with your career and dont waste your money.They are big cheats.
Regarding education, If you want to be self employed, its a ok college. But if you want to persue a professional service its not recognised, so you wont be rewarded for the Degree.

Dear All,
This is BIsmaya Ranjan Sahoo again. As I have posted the complaint against WLCI, I am getting threatening calls from WLCI now. They are charging me that, whatever I have posted its hampering the image of the college and I should quit to write those...
Guys, I really dont want to get into these complicacy now. I have established myself on my own now. There was no one (WLCI) helped me to do that.
Although these complains are having the fact, I apolozise to everyone that I have shown you the bitter truth.
Now I want to live happily, so please ignore whatever I have written and whatever I am writting now...

How Wigan & Leigh College India (WLCI) cheated us ?
I am Bismaya Ranjan Sahoo, a student of Wigan & Leigh College (WLCI), Kolkata branch, roll no: 7912 of PGDBM (2006-2008) Batch. From the very begining, when I joined in this college I have been promised that, we will get 100% traineeship as well as 100% final placement with a great academical atmosphere. But after 2-3 months of joining this college, I knew the actual face of the college. Its a biggest fraud in the educational industry in India. The prosimes had been made to me (not only to me but also to everyone joined in this college), was only a trick of marketing which doesnot have any value. No one of us got anything from the college, not a single placement & not at all a good study.
The most tragic thing is that, we all have given our final exam in the month of August 2008 & today is 12th March 2009, till yet we have not got our results. That means we dont have any proof that, we have done MBA.
After investing around 3 Lacs rupees to do MBA from Wigan & Leigh College (WLC), we did not have anything to show any one that we are MBA professional.
This is my public plea to every one who is interested & not-interested to join WLC college that, if you want to waste your money as well as career then must join Wigan & Leigh College (WLC). A very Best of Luck for that from me.
