Sir,
My name is " Mahesh Krishna G ", My Student ID: S101106200663... Right from My Schooling days NIIT has been my choice of place for Computer Education, Be it the Swift Course back in 2000 or the Visual Basic Course That I completed back in 2002 .. NIIT always lived up to my expectations as far as COMMITMENT and QUALITY is considered.
This was what made me choose NIIT again after my Engg Graduation... I wanted to get well equipped in the latest technologies with in the shortest time possible... that made me choose the AAE v5 course at NIIT. Though I was warned of the rigorous curriculum and the tight time table I would have to follow .. I decided I wanted this!! The NIIT centers at My city didn't have the AEE course then... I had to go to Chennai or Bangalore if I insisted on doing it.
Chennai they didn't have a batch starting last December .. this made me turn to Bangalore... I didn't want to join any franchisee centers just because I didn't want to take any chances... I always believed that Company Owned Centers maintain better Quality and Commitment to wards the students.
Thats how I came to know about the KORAMANGALA NIIT CENTER @ BANGALORE. My first Point of contact was the Center Manager Mr. Ramachandaran .. I must have spoken to him for more than 10 times on the phone during first two weeks of December 09
I again and again confirmed If they had a PROPER AAE bactch running, he said yes... On top of it He also said that I was lucky as he was starting a AAE batch in th 3ed week of December and that the batch already had 10-12 members and it was fast filling.
Bangalore - NIIT - Company Owned Center - The Center Manager - Who would think that one would get cheated??
I reached Bangalore the very next day and visited the center and got my self registered for the AAE course.
Paid my fees on a single payment on the very first day. December.
It was not a cake walk for me joining for this course, I had to clear aptitude tests, clear interviews, telephonic interviews... after all that they selected me for this course!! Within 15 days or so I noticed that there was something wrong, I had no proper AAE batch as such, for a long time I was the only AAE student and I was made to sit with other Batches (DDNT, DJVT) from time to time... No staff in charge, No Proper batch nothing!!
I had Very clearly told Mr. Ramachnadaran, and the then team leader Mrs. Chandini that My requirement was to complete the course with the given time frame that is 5 months!! They did promise me the same...
It was after that I joined the Center... In the first 2 months I had gone to the center manager with numerous complaints .. every time he promised me that this was temporary and that things were falling into place...
Within the third month I knew things were not like I wanted it to be, No Proper Batch, No Other AAE student apart from Me and One Mohamad Faridh (Poor Fellow He had joined the center in Sep-Oct 09) his plight was worse than mine!!
After repeated complaints and requests I got tired of it .. I decided that I got to finish this course some how at the earliest possible within 5 months or say maximum 6 months!!
Nothing seemed to be happening properly for me, main reasons being :
- No batch for AAE
- No Staff incharge For AAE
- No proper time table for AAE
- I had to adjust with the timings and portions of other (DDNT and DJVT Batches)
- 2 Hours Class per day... Mainly because I had to sit with other Batches!!
My Problems :
- was staying away from home (Monthly Expense almost 10, 000 @ bangalore) Its been 9 months Now!!
- Time period taken to complete subjects was a big botheration.
Even the subjects covered apart from few subjects, others we did have problems SQL, UML etc...
Core Java I joined when He had already completed 4 chapters, the staff said he would help me cover those but he left the job abruptly ..
SQL no one understood more than 60% of the portions... lots and lots like these!!
In spite of all these I still some how wanted to finish it off and get out at the earliest ..
9 months today and I still didn't manage to complete my Level 1 - MT3 portions... if you are aware I've got 2 levels 6 MT's in my AAE v5 curriculum.
Mr. Sreejith the current team leader, if not for him I don't think I would have managed to complete even MT2 in NIIT in the last 9 months... he did give me classes and did what ever he could for me as a responsible staff when ever I was in trouble, but I guess thats the maximum he could do about it...
What Will he do with a SINGLE STUDENT in a AAE batch?? Over all I was the looser... not any1 else...
- 95-99% attendance... thats what I have maintained @ the Classes for the last 9 months!!
- I've spent more than a 90, 000 rupees in the last 9 months here for my expenses
- I paid approx 55, 000 rupees as fees
- Most of all I lost another 9 months of my career thats 3/4th of a Year!!
2008 pass out, already I had lost 18 months .. and now NIIT helped me loose another 9 months of my career!!
You have no idea what I have gone through in the last 9 months and how much I have lost... tell me sir whats my mistake in this whole issue???
The Other AAE student I was talking about earlier MOHAMED FARIDH, he eventually had to quit NIIT last july for similar and more reasons and went back home... after almost 10 months of struggle.
He was in tears when he left Bangalore... today I'm also put in the same situation... But i'm not leaving like him blaming my fate for all this!!
NIIT directly had lots to do with our plight today .. especially mine ..
- Rs.55, 000 fees
- Rs.90, 000 my expenses
- 9 valuable months
What is that NIIT can give back to me?? To play with a Students Career is not what is expected from NIIT!!
The least you can do is refund my Fees...
Even then I stand at the Loosing end... as you know already!! but then I can't afford to loose Rs.1.4 lakhs and 9 months for nothing...
Before you hear lame excuses and other versions of stories from the concerned people regarding this complaint, I wanted to let you know sir... I can back up my claims and complains each and every word in this mail with WRITTEN COMPLAINTS from other students who were with me including my ONLY fellow batch mate MOHAMAED FARIDH...
If you have any other clarifications or any doubts regarding my complaint please give me a call back on this number : 08088420420 or mail me on this ID: [email protected], all what I have mentioned is just a part of it... 9 months I've tried my maximum to squeeze it in here ..
I left Bangalore On 4th Aug... as I couldn't afford to spend more money or waste Time there... I'm also fed up complaining and complaining .. this is my last try and I wish there is at least one responsible person there who will understand my plight and get back to me with a reasonable solution.
I'll make sure in future none of my friends or relatives join or even go near a NIIT center... especially the BANGALORE, KORAMANGALA center ...!! I've had enough and I quit...
Thanking You
For all the Agony, Pain and Loss .. You have managed to inflict on me...
Yours Truly
Mahesh Krishna G
