WLC College started back in 1996 . It was a good college back them offering fashion designing and other courses which were in demand and back then this college was known as wigan and leigh india.The college had a unique traineeship program where its students were placed even while doing the course. It was great .
In 2002, Its relation ship with wigan and leigh ended as the courses and training methodology was found to be unacceptable to wigan and leigh uk standards. WLC College had expanded to 40 campuses across india , but met with little success as it was unknown in other states. It has 29 now. It keeps using the deceptive name wlc college , without letting anyone know that it was no more a part of wigan and leigh uk . It was merely affiliated !
the college is not UGC or AICTE approved , hence it can not offer any degree courses . In fact the college is not even allowed to offer any course that is more than 6 months in duration ! So what did they do ? wlc college started giving 6 monthly certificates for every 6 months which is just ridiculous . The final diploma comes from wigan and leigh uk or university of sunderland after you have paid then about 400 british pounds !The strange part is that neither of these uk colleges are involved in making the course material , syllabus , tests , training and placement . They are just making money sitting there in Uk .
The diploma offered by them is of no value in India.
The college has an aggressive marketing strategy and anyone can get admission provided he/she is ready to pay the fees which is Exorbitant .
The college offers so called cutting edge programs , where students get to watch movies and party to some hip numbers . The students obviously pay extra for these . The faculty is derived from everywhere and this means that even an IT Technician with no training / communication skills will be thrown in to take a class ! Its a poor show.So is their traineeship ! Students are promised traineeship and good amount as stipend which is far from truth.
You may choose finance or HR as your subject , but you will be asked to join an insurance field job. A student of design can be asked to do the same . The excuse they offer is that all great people started their careers in whatever through sales !! No that is bull crap ! How does experience in sales help one while pursuing a career in finance or hr , or designing ??
The college reuses to refund registration deposits , even if no classes are held !There are no batch start dates as they look for a minimum batch size and if its not complete you can be asked to wait for 2 months more ! This situation is worse fo4 students who take high loans to do the course often lured by glitzy marketing , but then realize that it was all fake . There have been cases where students have held strikes , have sued the college and have posted their plight online for others to see.
It s mess what they have made of education.To summarize i suggest that you Find a better college . Avoid wlc college
