IIM Calcutta - EPBM
No help in long distance program!!!

Please note, I have still not got certified after 1.5 years of completing the course and paying 1.8 Lakhs

Following chain of emails should speak for my pain in dealing with IIM

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How long before I get a satisfactory response from you on my query. Please help me understand if this request seems unreasonable to you..

The whole idea of a distance education program is to encourage those who have limited flexibility with time and distance. Thanks for making this program available to us, but please deliver on your promises. I kept mine by paying upfront for the course and completed the sessions.. The only part I was unable to fulfill was appear for the second semester exams.. I could not because I was travelling..

I need to know a final answer from you before I take any action… What are my options?

Hello,

Note that I have completed the first semester exams and I have missed only the second semester exams as there was no timely communication of the alternative option.

I would like to be certified for the completion of my first semester exam and participation in the EPBM course. Also, I would like to know when I can appear for the second semester exam??

Iam rightfully expecting a fast response to my queries.

Chaitali,

I know that EPBM 9 got over in 2008 and as I was travelling I could not attend the exams in 2008. I was never given the option of appearing for the exam along with EPBM10 in Feb.

As you can see from the trail of mail below, I have been following up since February asking for the options I have.

Why didn’t anyone tell me about it then? Why did I have to wait 9 months to get this answer?

Are you asking me to write off 1.5 Lakhs I paid for this course and not be given any alternative!!!

Dear Vikram,

Please note that EPBM 9 got over in the year 2008. You had the option of appearing for the examinations with EPBM10. Also, another round of makeup examinations were held in February for all participants of EPBM 1 to 10 to give participants an opportunity to complete the programme. We did not receive any input from you during that time.

As per the Institute’s decision all participants of EPBM 1 to 10 who have failed to clear the examinations by February will be treated as dropouts.

We regret to inform you that as per the above decision you will not be awarded any certificate.

Best wishes,

Chaitali Chakraborty

You have got to do something with my case.. I still haven’t heard anything positive from anyone..

This keeps hitting one roadblock after another. Is 9 months not sufficient to resolve a simple case.. do I have to go with this trail of back and forth communication to consumer court.. is that the only option left for me???

Dear Vikram,

Apologies for the frustration you have been going through for lack of response!

This is to inform you that I have been addressing your issue ever since you wrote to us. However I didn't write to you so far because you have already been writing to the right people - Chaitali and Prerna. I have once again sent a reminder (this time I have copied you) and hope to get it resolved at the earliest. Shall get back to you as soon as I get a response.

This is really getting on my nerves. I have sent so many reminders and have been following up on this for last 5 months..

I cannot believe none of you are able to guide me on the next steps here. Iam not asking for a favour, I paid for this course and all iam asking is for you to assist me with the certification process!!!

Hi Chaithali,

My name is Vikram Singh, student id : 2209609. I was in the batch of EPBM-09

As you can see from the mail below I have completed the course and cleared my Semester 1 exams. I had to relocate to Poland before I could write my Semester 2 exams. I have been trying to followup and get a closure in some way to have the certificate of course completion. If possible I would like to take up the exam remotely from Poland. Will appreciate any other alternative to obtain the certificate now.

Regards,

Vikram Singh

Hi Aditi,

My name is Vikram Singh, Student ID : 2209609

I could not complete my question as the line was bad and you could not hear me.

My call was regarding the second semester exams which I could not appear for. I was out of India when we had the exams and I could not complete the semester exams. The other problem is, Iam relocating to Europe in couple of weeks and when I called up Hughes Direcway, they asked me to get in touch with you to find out what options I have now.

I will be out of India for atleast 2 years and it is important that I have this certification for the MBA course I attended. I did attend the classes, only I could not appear for the exams.

Can something be done in my case?

Your guidance is much appreciated

Regards,

Vikram
