CH*T**A banaya!!!

being pressed down by the power of money…merit is getting raped in broad daylight…

this is an incident from the college i unfortunately chose for making my career path..i was ranked 171 in Maharashtra and 156 in the university .. so there were other options available..but the fees in this college were lower than the peer colleges…and yes the FEE WAS NOT INTERIM….

i went into the 2nd year MBA by paying what they called "Interim Fee" which was around 57k…and only 2 months left for the final examination and the management wakes one day thinking that there is too much going into their pockets and nothing is left to be given to the few good professors in the college..nothing is left for the construction to go forward… so they decide this… Students of MMS have to pay the remaining amount of Rs.49k…ya u read it right REMAINING amount of Rs.49000…within 15 days..

The Students…a few who were placed on MERIT started their struggle against the Political bandwagon of the College management.. They got the usually UNUNITED class together to standup against the injustice being done on them..The class for a change agreed that yes this is injustice and we would standup against it…

All heads got together to discuss what should be said infront of the management..It was pre-decided who would speak and what was going to be discussed…

It was all going fine in the meeting…

The management trying to break the moral of the students by saying things like

"IF U CANNOT AFFORD THIS FEE…U ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO EDUCATION"

"U SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ADMISSION IN SOME OTHER COLLEGE"

"MBA IS NOT FOR POOR"

flash back to a day before….the college management gathered the students of the university to brief about something..the students - juniors as well as seniors ( not many present though)..and then the announcement was made that the fee for the college was being increased in consultation to the samiti to Rs.90k. Everyone was stunned but there was hardly anyone who stood up against this…

the one who stoodup was in no mood to take this so easily…and after some explainations from both the ends he was asked what hasnt he got from the college...this is where he got to Merit Vs Backdoor entry issue..in the heat of things he said a lot of things that seemed to be boiling inside him for many days…the intolerance of watching someone go through easily on just the basis of vitamin M..might be one of it…many applauded but was this really the time for all this?? i ask myself…

Justification for the management quota was given in this manner…
"THEY COULD AFFORD TO PAY HIGHER FEE SO THEY TOOK ADMISSION HERE "

Today this guy seemed too frustrated to handle the politics that people play..he started resisting in his own way which many feel wasnt appropriate..and came into the eyes of the management..Politics runs in the blood of our management and this was the opportunity that was bagged very easily…this time seniors were present in better number.. he was called n asked to repeat what he had said a day before..he was asked "do u think u are superior to ur classmates".. he said "excepting some..yes i do"..Management was in no hurry to let him go so easily..so the whole class was made to think that he was the devil among the angels..and the class as usual withdrew support of him thinking of short term rather than long term..

then ……

"CAN WE PAY IN INSTALLMENTS" said one from the back when it had fallen totally silent…and another started to ask for discount…n then more started begging who really dont need what they were asking for…"yes why dont we pay in INSTALLMENTS"…."Installments after we join the job…"
This is what the management needed….the weaker link of the class to standup and say things like these…and it was all over for the merit holders…

anyways this was one more defeat for the people standing against injustice…
we are not going to give in so easily…

there are a few other issues also which need to be taken care of.. but that can be done after everything else settles...
