MBA dream shattered, youth tries to kill self
A 21 year old student tried to kill himself on Friday after realising that a private college he had joined was allegedly not recognised by the government. Kanpur native Arunesh Singh's family had taken a Rs 3 lakh loan to send him to Delhi for an MBA.
Laxmi Nagar-based IIMR is not recognised by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), students alleged. Nor is it affiliated to the University Grants Commission (UGC). AICTE is the apex body that approves courses in engineering, management, architecture, hotel management etc. Many corporate houses do not recognise a degree that is not approved by AICTE.
"Two days ago, I confronted the institute director S.K. Singh, and he assured me that he would soon get affiliation. When I demanded an explanation, I started getting threatening calls on my mobile phone," Arunesh said from his hospital bed. In despair, the young man popped a handful of sleeping pills early on Friday morning.
