As 'aeronautical engineering' college turns out to be no more than a 'training institute' running without any recognition, over 200 students are left in the lurch after having paid the Rs 1 lakh fees
Students who dreamt of high-flying engineering careers have been let down by a city institute.
The dreams of over 200 students who wanted to become aeronautical engineers have crash-landed after they realised their college, Siddhartha Institute of Aeronautical Engineering & Information Technology, was merely a 'training institute' with no recognition from any authority, while they were given to believe at the time of admission that it was an engineering college.
The students, who allege that the management of the institute tricked them, say the management is now refusing to return the over Rs 1 lakh paid in fees in six months by each student. They say even the originals of their testimonials are not being returned. "We are in complete shock," said Mahendar R (name changed on request), a student who scored 94 per cent in intermediate. "We have enrolled for a BE, BTech. But we have now realised that this college is not an engineering college at all."
The college, which is said to be in existence since 2006, enrolled over 200 students to aeronautical and mechanical engineering courses last year.
