wlc kolkata student review

http://www.consumercourtforum.in/f39/wlc-college-india-25693/


My name is Allen Aravindan and i was a 1st year student of wlc. i was associated with the kolkata branch for a year. After i filed for a transfer to pune, Mr.Rajoshri Haldar(hod) of management gave me a green chit for transfer duly authorised by the academic president based in noida. I was told that everything is done and i just need to go and resume my classes in pune branch. To my utter surprise when i went to pune branch, the campus director told me that there are no batches for Bba 2nd year. She told me to either go back to kolkata or shift to mumbai. This for me was impossible as i had already paid the rent and all the arrangements had been done for my stay.wlc had already chargeed me an ammount for the transfer. how can someone in this whole world sanction a transfer when there is no possibility of it?
because of this i had leave the college and take a new admission under pune uinversity spending more lakhs of ruppes. this negligence of the mangement had cost me 1 year loss plus a huge monetory amount. Now when i spoke to the CEO( Mrs Malobika sengubta) and personally met her twice, she gave me an assurity that my fees of te 2nd year will be refunded in due course, It has been more than a year now and she has been ignoring my calls and not giving and response to my mails. I have all the official documents to prove the negligence of the middle and top managment of WLC. The kind of money they take for the course is more than what symbiosis takes and the facilty and quality of education is utter non sense. my personal advice for everyone is that don't join this institution at any cost, its a chop shop. they have zero business ethics and i can't believe that people in high post like chairman and CEO'S( VINAY PASRISCHA AND MALOBIKA SENGUPTA have this kind of ethics). Leaving my personal grudges against this institution, this is definitely destroying many people's lifes and it should be done against

WLC Ex-student's father to sue Pune college

Ex-student's father to sue Pune college

Wednesday, July 28, 2010 1:54 IST


Mumbai: Vasudev Kanuga,a resident of Koregaon Park, Pune, has decided to file a defamation suit against Wigan and Leigh College (WLC), Pune, and its Delhi Campus chief executive officer, Molobika Sengupta, for allegedly accusing his daughter Karishma of threatening to ‘blackmail’ WLC India.

In July 2009, Karishma had won a case filed against WLC in the Pune district consumer dispute redressal forum(consumer court) after she was forced to abandon her Bachelor (honours) in Mass Media course at the WLC as the institution was not approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

“Karishma had to abandon the course halfway as there were no regular lectures taking place and we were shocked when we got to know that the institution was not approved by the AICTE.In the whole mess, Karishma lost an entire academic year,” Kanuga said.

He said it was later that they decided to file a case against the institute in the Pune District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum in Jan 2008.

After Karishma won the case, the forum directed WLC to refund the fees of Rs1.28 lakh, along with 9%interest, as well as compensation of Rs50,000 as Karishma had lost an academic year, he said. Karishma then went to Mumbai to pursue her degree in mass media and secured the degree this year with distinction.

Kanuga’s case in the Pune District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum was represented by the city-based consumer welfare
organisation Grahak Hitvardhini.


According to Kanuga, the family was deeply hurt when a report appeared in a local daily last year quoting Sengupta as saying, “She (Karishma) threatened that she would approach the court and the press, which was blackmail.”

Sengupta said, “I do not think I have made any defamatory statement against Kanuga.”

Harrasment at work place and Non-Payment of Salary, Denial of medical benefits
Created by prachi.varun on January 12, 2010, 6:03 pm in Civil and Human Rights

Hi Sir,
I was employed with WLCI College Bangalore Campus since August 26, 2009. I was performing exceptionally well as the program manager for Life Skills sessions and i was further allocated the HR classes which was not my specialization. I started taking those on the instruction of campus director Mr. Hidayath and was doing preity well during those classes as well.

On December 01, 2009 our Chairman Mr.Vinay came to the campus and despite Mr. Hidayath knowing that i was unwell and was in 3rd month of pregnancy, these two seniors made me stay in office till 7 PM on December 02, 2009 when no other female employee was there. Mr.Vinay started using abusive language with Mr.Hidayath and used very derogatory words which as a women i can't even withstand. He was shouting bad words at Mr.Hidayath and me over his basis for hiring me and allocating me the HR classes. Mr. Vinay then called Ms.Malobika (Noida Office) and shouted at her saying that will you hire any dog to conduct classes of HR. I never heard such a abusive language in whole of my life and the person who is the Chairman of a professional institution using the same for a women is not at all acceptable. He himself said that you resign from your services as there is no provision for taking maternity leave in our organization.

I was ill during that time and got admitted to the St. Philomenus Hospital the very next day, i was under tremendous emotional distress when i came to know that i have some very critical illness and that too when i am pregnant, i called up my Centre Director Mr.Hidayath to inform him about my condition but he dint even cared picking up the call, I sent him a sms as well which he dint replied. I was advised bed rest and no travel. At the day of salary disbursement when I dint received my salary I called up Mr. Hidayath, he said that I should get in touch with Noida office. I mailed to Noida office and they dint even replied to my mails, no one even called me to check the status of my health and despite knowing that I am in Hospital they stopped my salary.

As I was advised complete bed rest with zero movement activities because of critical illness, my Husband Mr.Varun mailed all the higher management persons in Noida to check what is being done to my services and why my salary cheque is stopped, he repeatedly requested them to grant me leaves and release my salary but they dint gave any ear to that. Instead Mr.Nitin (AGM-HR) called up to inform that he apologize for whatever happened but he said Mr.Chairman has asked him to terminate me, when my husband asked for the mail stating the same, they dint even turned back. Mr.Nitin said you are free to take whatever steps you want and they will do a full and final settlement of my dues.


I wrote a complaint then to National Women Commision (Complaint Id : C0503995), then i received a call from Mr.Brahmdutt Sharma that he will be happy to take me back when i will be fit to join and he said that all my dues will be released in next one week, he asked me to return 2 library books for clearance which i did, but after that even he started ignoring my calls and he din't even responding my mail pleas for salary clearance and sanctioning of leave.

Issues:

1. Use of abusive language (Derogatory remarks against women employee).

2. Making me stand in office for more than 12 hours when no other female staff was there in office.

3. Denial of Maternity leaves.

4. Threat of termination if I ask for maternity leaves.

5. Stopping of my November salary when I was hospitalized. (till date no clearance has been done for that)

6. No reason given for not releasing the salary.

7. Telling me that I am terminated without any mail.

8. Despite promising that salary will be released in 1 week, its been over 3 weeks and they are not even sanctioning my leave and releasing my salary.

I want these issues to be raised and addressed in a dignified manner and as an educated and qualified women I want other women to know that still there is lot of discrimination in the society and violation of Article 42 of constitution of India which states that women should be provided just and human work atmosphere and maternity relief.

Please help me getting this complaint addressed with adequate action against Mr.Hidayath & Mr. Brahmdutt Sharma (Centre Director, WLC Bangalore Campus) and Mr.Vinay Parischa(Chairman, WLC Campus), who doesnt even have know how to treat a women with respect.

More details about all me and my husbands email communications with WLC for leave request, salary release and complaints can be made available if required.

Through this board i want to alert everyone who wants to be associated with WLCI, where there is no professionalism and respect for the women employees.

WLC College - Deccan Herald News

They had no permission to function, says Minister Limbavali

State to shut 35 colleges

Bangalore Jan 22 Deccan Herald News Service - http://www.deccanherald.com/content/48341/state-shut-35-colleges.html

Close on the heels of the Centre threatening to de-recognise six deemed universities in the State, the State government on Friday released a list of 35 unauthorised colleges and said that steps will be taken to close them down.

Among the colleges are M S Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies, M P Birla Institute of Management, Amity Global Business School and IIJT Finance.

Except two colleges, the rest are based in Bangalore and six are being run with foreign collaboration. Most of them offer courses in business management.

In fact, the Government in its order dated December 10, 2009 has already authorised Commissioner for Collegiate Education to inspect records, registers and other documents in these institutions and ascertain whether the programmes being conducted by them are approved by the competent authority.

Disclosing this to reporters, Higher Education Minister Aravind Limbavali said all these institutions were illegal as they had not taken any permission to function. “The department issued two notices to them, but they did not respond. Now we have no option but to close them down. If necessary, we will take the help of police for this purpose,” he stated.

He, however, said the department may consider giving them permission only if their infrastructure is found good and if they are imparting quality education.

Asked about the fate of students in these colleges, the Minister said the students have to be careful while joining such colleges. “If they (students) want a good career, they have to be careful. They have to crosscheck if a college is authorised or not before taking admission,” he added.

The Higher Education department has released Rs 8 crore towards reimbursing the additional fee paid by students while joining engineering courses under the Government quota in 2006-07.

The department has to reimburse a total of Rs 33 crore to 4,379 students. This is the first installment. All dues will be cleared within a few days. The money will be deposited to the bank account o f the students, Limbavali said.

WLC College – Facts

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.

WLC College Goa Campus Complaint

WLCi Goa Campus Complaints - Refund of Security Deposit (10,000/-)


WLCi Goa Campus

Posted: 14 of Jul, 2010 by sunny

http://www.clientcomplain.com/WLCi_Goa_Campus-Complains-3758-SC.html#

Refund of Security Deposit (10,000/-)

It has been a year now since i completed my course from WLCi Goa.
I have been calmly requesting the college to refund the security deposit of Rs. 10,000/- for the past one year now, i have just been driven from pillar to post...
The only answer i have been given till now is, you will be contacted or i will forward your request to the right department, and i have been kept giving forms to fill.
Recently i have visited the Goa branch center head, she explained that almost about 60% to 70% of the deposit amount will be deducted as a fine towards late payment of fees...

To tell you frankly, i don't think i ever faultered in paying my fees or it could be a communication gap from you'll to us, which is not at all our fault. Some of many reasons being:-

* The fee structure that was given to me never had dates mentioned on it.
* mine was a loan from the bank, so i had no problems in paying the fees on time. As and wen the college told, i intimated the bank and the DD was sent across.
* The exact dates of payment and fines for late payment of fees was never told to us.
* There was no undertaking, taken from us, like it has been done with the recent batch.
* I have all my fee receipts and other documents supporting my above statements.

So to conclude, the entity to be penalized is the institute, not us students...
