Being a Wellwisher of the students of " Park College of Engineering", Coimbatore, i would like to bring to your notice
the ongoing issue at the college campus.
During the admission time on Sep, the First year students were asked (compelled) to buy Laptops from the college only. The Management said that they will be providing the students with Laptops for Rs.30, 000 which would be worth Rs.40, 000 Market price.
But contrary to what they have told, the college management has provided few students (the first batch) with :
HP Laptop - AMD Athlon processor-very low configuration...
What i would like to mention to you at this time is that this above mentioned Laptop is not at all worth even Rs.10, 000 & the students who bought this are into trouble already, cos the Laptop had so many repairs in the very first month.
But the Management compels the remaining students also to buy the same one from the college. Shockingly, they insist those students who already have got Laptops in their Home to buy another one. Already the management has collected an amount of Rs. 5000 from the students as the initial pay. The management did not heed words to the students who refused to buy the Laptop which was not worth the Price.
The Management is warning the students that they will keep their Hands on the group of Students ' Attendance if they refuse to buy the Laptop.
Parents earn sooo hard to educate their children & not all of them are affluent. If the college management wants to make money for themself thru these kind of cheating, just think about the pitiful state of the students who come from various backgrounds.
Kindly i request you to enquire & verify the situation at the college & take necessary steps to stop the management from forcing the students to purchase Laptops from College only.
Pleading to act immediately on behalf of the First Year students.
