ICFAI University Group UGC approved

I have hard so many misconceptions about the University regarding UGC recognition. Before taking admission into MCA program I enquired thoroughly regarding the same and I found it ok. It’s clearly mentioned in their website. You can visit http://www.icfaiuniversity.in/ and http://www.iutripura.edu.in/ugcapproval.asp

I am an software Engineer and I am perceving MBA from ICFAI. Till now I have already paid full fees and I am not facing any kind of problems or regret. The only thing I was worried about is its approval from UGC and DEC (Universities dont require approval from AICTE only institutes need that).

I did lot of exploration and I found some genuine links from UGC and DEC here below.

Dear Sir
Sub: Complaint letter - Enrolment no: [protected] &[protected]
I, Sajeena Abdul Kadir ([protected]) & my Husband Afsal Ashraf ([protected]) Joined Sikkim Icfai on December 2011. We had appeared for online examination in July 2012 and recieved the result stating FAILED al though we appeared exam almost 2-3 times some subjects due to some error on the online exam which was not our fault. Still after writing it twice or thrice again the results came for some subject as failed which is beyond imagination & has broken moral for studying. We again paid for the failed subject and re- appeared for the online exam but faced same problems as before( sudden shut down of web page, some error massage in between and all) while attending the exam. And now its been many months that we have not received a single mail from university regarding the status of our exam.We are contacting Ms. Lathika [protected] from icfai all these days. We call her like daily for getting the status but she keep on promising that there will be a reply soon from the higher department of icfai but please note there is note even a single mail from any department of ICFAI
Please note we checked in website for the result its showing unable to view result contact ssd. We send many mails to them but not a single reply. It seems the university are least interested in acknowledging the students queries.
I always believed that spreading education was the sole concern of the university. but even EDUCATION is now BUSINESS.
Many Students in UAE are facing similar probles with icfai. Under the circumstances, We want you to note that you cannot easily get away unscathed. We will use all our resources and contacts to see that we get justice and you get punished for your misdeeds and for your hidden agenda to use our money for your benefits only.
We will however wait for few more days before we initiate these actions against you. Please take the issue seriously and respond immediately.

Thanks & Regrads
Sajeena Abdul Kadir

Common friends, while th etime enrolloing only you need to get more clear details from icfai executives. I am also student of ICFAI University, As per my knowledge th eservice is good, I have enrolled from Vishakapatnam. My executive is very helpfull to me, he provides me with all examination past questin papers. He clearly explained me all the things before enrolling. More over i am have appeared H group recently. Icfai subjects are very good and we can gain lots of knowledge. I have been studying hard and attempting my exams, till now i do not have any backlogs. We need to read more and should follow the old question papers.

I think ICFAI is not an education center but more so a business center...for everything they are charging. Now they have come up with something called CIMBAG membership, which was no where specified during enrollment. They are the big cheaters.

They have now made this compulsory for you to pay after Group G, if you want to apply for Group H, it will add up Rs. 1000/- extra as CIMBAG membership fees or else you will not be able to register yourself for the exam.

This institute should be sued and recommend no one joins this university ever.

Hi icfaistudent,

You have just made
allegation against the University without revealing your identity. When you could finish Group A, B, C and now when you are not able to clear D, you are becoming restless. Probably you would have become over confident and not focusing much on the studies. Since Group D is in Second Stage you need to spend more hours on preparing for the subjects in Group D. This is was my case also, I had to attempt twice Group D and realized that we need extra hours and the subjects in D are really tough. But once I cleared D, E was again easy. Hope you concentrate more time on studies, practice case studies etc. and come up with flying colors.

If you still have any issues, why don’t you write to University, the faculty may help you in understanding where you are going wrong.

ICFAI University is really very Fraud university. People at this university does not know how to behave with students when they have issues not proper response and no professionalism is shown and as per the examinations for disctance education it is true that this people willing fail all the students to earn more money. i know how well i write my exams and i cleared my group A, B, C in one attempt but presently i am not able to clear my Group D since 3 attempts.

My Sincerely advice to all the new joins is that please do not join ICFAI university. Its time waste and money waste oraganization.

Dear Deb!

Your brother may have joined the MBA program with a purpose. Hence I believe he must concentrate on studies and strengthen all his efforts and aim for success in the program rather then seeking clarification on unnecessary rumors .

Your identity is already exposed so do not ask for identities. on the outset we will try our best to stop the extortion business that you are doing in the name of education, plus the permission given by UGC under act 2f does not allow an university to ask for money if the student does not want to pursue your courses any more. So filing cases against such students proves that you are extorting money in the name of education. We will place your deeds and acts to several forums and will also try to gather public opinion and subsequently file a sue in the Apex court for redressal if need be. If that fails then we will apprise the public to refrain from enrolling in your college from henceforth.

ICFAI University Group Want 1.6 lacs even though i don't want to join the MBA course!

I applied for ICFAI Executive program by submitting my application to their Kochi, Kerala office. I paid Rs 20,000/- as initial payment and gave them 15 post dated cheques worth Rs 9750/- each. This was on 18th of Dec 07. I was told that confirmation of my admission would be sent to me only by Jan 08.

After two days, I got an offer due to which I was sure that I could not complete the course as it included mandatory visit to ICFAI campus in Hyderabad. I sent an email to SSD requesting withdrawal of my application, but the email kept bouncing back saying the mail box was full. Then I submitted a hardcopy of request for withdrawal with the Kochi office, and got a copy signed by the branch manager accepting the withdrawal. She assured me that she would take care and get the money back. I had mentioned in the letter that I have asked my bank to block the cheque. All this happened, before my application was accepted by ICFAI.

I didn't accept any study material from ICFAI, but now they are threatening to take me to court because I had blocked the 15 cheques which I had given to them.

Now either I have to pay 1.4 lacs for nothing or have to take legal help. I am not sure what I should do. I have already lost Rs 20000/- which I am ready to forego.

If you have a copy of acceptance of your course, dont take any action. Simply block your cheques. Let them file a lawsuit and you can easily win the case. I dont think it makes sense to file a lawsuit from your side.

It's been 6 months since I taken mba. When I approached for the books there answer was a blaming game. So when I en quired regarding the issue. They were rude and asked me to do what I can..' this is ridiculous.' icfai takes no responsibility of the students all they need is money. They r cheaters... So I appeal people not to go for icfai for mba program. My fight is still going on. Lets see what happens.

This is with reference to the points raised

• Firstly, we wish to clarify that it is not CFD as mentioned by you, but CFB (Comprehensive Feedback).

• Comprehensive Feedback
There is a system of providing a Comprehensive Feedback to enable the students to understand the areas, which they are weak in. While preparing the comprehensive feedback, the answer book of the student is rechecked meticulously, and then a comprehensive feedback for each question is prepared. In this particular feedback, we analyse thoroughly what has been written by the candidate, and explain in detail, which all places the answer lacks adequacy and the areas that can be improved upon.
We believe that, the method of providing this Feedback is nothing but a transparent approach, on our part, to clear the doubts of the candidate. Apparently, it gives a very clear picture of his/her performance and is undoubtedly a value addition.
It is expected that the student, who sincerely follows the suggestions given in the feedback, would confidently overcome the shortcomings and be successful in his/her future attempt.
• Case Study Method
The MBA program structure is decided by the competent authority of the university after due thought and benchmarking is done on the basis of the programs available.
Our experience shows that students, who clear the Case Study Paper, i.e. Group J, comfortably, their ability to apply theoretical knowledge, acquired during the program, enhances remarkably. These subjects bring in a significant metamorphosis in the thought process with regard to management practices. That’s why, it is not surprising to note that the best of Management Programs are run purely on Case Study methodology.
The questions in Group J are asked from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It is expected that a student fares well in both the aspects. You are unnecessarily perturbed with these Case Studies. Most of the students clear the subject in the first attempt itself by following these principles. We trust that it is not an impossible task.

A concerted effort from your side will help you to enhance your performance in the ensuing examinations.

Hi,
My Name is Mahesh Kumar. I am also doing MBA distance learning Program. I am in Group J and have written this exam twice. My paper was quite satisfactory but I got 51 in 1st paper and only 37 in 2nd. I was shocked to see that because my 2nd paper was better than 1st. I had applied for CFD but no use. Because ICFAI had not given the scanned copy of paper. It is not a transparent method, if ICFAI is really having standard, it should give the scanned copy of our answer sheet rather than their solution Paper. If we have capability to come so far we can get the solution ourself. I sent 5 mails and called more than 10 times in a row. But no one responded yet. I'll not suggest anyone to join its any Program, it'll spoil your money, life as well as your peace. Whoever supporting ICFAI, I would like to ask simple question what is the use of CFD? Why no one bothered to reply my mail? If you want, I can send you the history of those mails.
Last Group J is a case study, I could be wrong but I assume one case study is enough to test the student but it is having 2 case study. It is just a way to make money, Pass the student in one paper and fail in 2nd, they will pay once again.

i agree with majority of the complaining students. but i have seen few lucky people to clear all the mba papers in more or less 2 to 2 and half years time! i am telling them plainly "lucky" because some of them are below average students and icfai exams really doesnt prove a candidate's potential! the marks come very average, if u pass it just 55%, the necessary pass mark, if you fail thats also very close. again if you fail in a group its probable you would fail for 2-3 times. recounting never helps. never heard of anyone who got marks increased by recounting, which is also very suspicous when icfai has the largest number of students! one reason for failing the majority is the Rs. 1000 they collect per student per group in exam registration. ICFAI SUCKS. they are audacious! how can they apply their mean business formula in a mass rate? no other "reputed" institute gets so much complaints from its students, which automatically prove their guilt. why the government is not taking any action against icfai? no they should not cancel the mba from students but they should stop the enrollment of new students to the mba course of icfai immediately .

Dear Ms. Aditi Mishra,

We verified with the University authorities regarding your grievance. For your reference, the Passing Criteria is given below:
Passing Requirements
• To pass in a Group, a student must secure an average of 55 percent marks for the two subjects in the Group, subject to a minimum of 45 percent in each of them.
• If a student secures 65 percent or more in one of the subjects of a Group, but fails to get 45 percent in the other subject of the same Group, he/she will get exemption from the subject in which he/ she has secured 65 percent or more. When an exemption is secured in one subject, the candidate must secure a minimum of 45 percent in the other subject in a subsequent sitting to pass in the Group.
• Whenever a student is granted a waiver in one subject of a Group, such students will have to secure 55 percent or more in the other subject to pass the Group.
April 2010: You appeared for only One Subject, contrary to your claim. You secured 46 Marks and failed.
July 2010: You appeared for Two Subjects and scored 47 and 43 Marks respectively. Your Group Total is 90. However, as per the passing criteria of the University, you should have scored 110 Marks to clear the Group. Therefore, you failed by 20 Marks and not by 3 Marks as claimed by you.

ICFAI University Group Non refund of my fees

I am Pritpal Singh enrolled to PG Diploma in Project Management on 11/04/2005 with enrollment number9408001126. After enrollment withing month I got admission in AIIA entrance degree course from mumbai.

Immediately I decided to withdraw from the course, so I chased the local center where I have enrolled. But the branch manager Mr. Raj Kumar-ICFAI, Meera Bagh, New Delhi. told me that he can not withdraw or refund money since its controlled by DEAN. Further he told me that he willl speak with dean and I also have to send the e-mail to dean on [protected]@icfai.com. I did the correspondence with dean starting on Wed May 31, 2006 but he clearly told me that I can not get the refund as per ICFAI policy. All the correspondence is with me as proof. My question/complaint to NCDRC is that I have not availed the service from ICFAI except collecting materials I have not appeared even in single exam so how the institute can charge me for the service I have not taken and formally requested to withdraw from the course within one month.

Now I need NCRDC to help me and other students from these private universities with non-consumer friendly refund policy.

Thanks & Regards,
Pritpal Singh

ICFAI University Group Beware of them!

Surely icfai is a fraud university and it is threatening student. Once you give pdc cheques, you do your study or not. They ask their money without study and threatening the student for pay the cheque by the via legal notice. It is not an university it is a looting finance company. Government should take action against this university.

Dear Mr.Sudhir,

Icfai University believes in imparting high quality education and the standards are also set high to mould the careers of young students and executives. If you have any specific issue, like unable to secure 55 percent, did you approach the Faculty dept., of the University, so that you would have got assistance and guidance on those areas you are finding it difficult. Many students who are finding it difficult to understand a topic or chapter, approach the Academic wing of the University and get inputs from them and successfully finish their exams. I hope you would write to ssd@icfaiuniversity.in and get clarifications to any of your academic doubts. The passing percentage of 55 percent is clearly given in the prospectus, and the students are expected to read the same before com miting for the further studies.

See guys on writing comments against any Institution is easy, instead of writing in this coloumn about ICFAI we should need to escalate this to a right authorities who can do a self analysis about all these instituions and make a report of their entire working through all common channels and they should reach to a conclusion and let the all people know exactly about this university. being a part of this University i have also suffered a lot due to its regulations. Students who are working they can't score 55 percent with such a tough marking pattern and building up of question papers also not easy ans.

Hi Dinesh & Ankur! Generally every organization follows certain rules and regulations. From your statement it seems that Icfai University offers the EMI facility to its students who opt for it. So, after availing this facility from the University, naturally it becomes obligatory on your part to clear the EMI in time as agreed. I think you should approach the Institute with your justification for withdrawal. Sure, the justification shall clinch the solution to the problem.

Who are you? Do you know how many lakhs of students are studying in ICFAI? I am one of them. I have taken my decision after a lot of hard thinking. I have completed my Post Graduation stage, now trying for my Specialization papers. Comments like yours will dishearten people who are trying something. I feel you are not able to complete some course which you have opted from ICFAI, or else you have some interest. I am sure those institutions have not paid any thing to you.
