I’m a student of KSOU, suffered by Akash Institute of Business Management College, Bangalore. I have my marks sheet of BBM up til the 5th semester, however I’m shocked to know all these documents which I possess are fake. This is none of my mistake, perhaps I went to the college to check directly and this college doesn’t exist there anymore instead there’s a new college come up in the same place, when I further enquired I was informed the management was fraud and have scammed us. I have paid close to 50000 in cash for the entire course from 2011 – 2014. Then I enquired with KSOU and was told there were aware of the issue and advised to wait for the final decision of the UGC. I have studied thoroughly and written all my papers up til the 6th semester expecting exclent results being one of the topper of my class. This is very painful and hard to take, my career and future lies in the decision of the concerned authorities. I kindly request the concerned heads to take quick action and provide us an effective solution.
