This is about the worst university in the world and the colleges which make it so. Just two years i've spent in uptu and i've come to know some shocking truths. I'll reveal them to you one by one.
1. In most private colleges such students get admission who have scores below 45 percent in physics, chemistry and math. And guess what their marksheets are forged and made by the college authorities. The reason being the hefty amount that they charge from the students for admission apart from the regular fees.
2. Thousands of students get scholarship from u.p government every year for pursuing b.tech in uptu. Guess what there is a massive scam here too. One day a student came to me and asked why the college authorities were asking for 7000 rupees from them on the pretext that they'll help the student to get the scholarship that has come to the college in their name. I was astonished at this. When i went deep into the things i came to know the shocking details. The up government doesn't send the scholarship amount directly to the student's account. Rather it is sent to the college account. Now here most private colleges ask the students to cough up various amounts ranging from 5000 to 13000 in the name of processing fees. This amount is taken in cash and no receipt is given. Whereas after the money has been paid by the student the complete scholarship amount is sent to the student's bank account. No proofs are hence left for someone to point a finger. When i inquired about where this processing money goes i got a even bigger shock. There is a wide nexus between college authorities and elements in state government who pocket the money. One possible path is as follows
COLLEGE DEAN- DIRECTOR- REGISTRAR- CHAIRMAN- BDO - MLA of the area - Various other people - EDUCATION MINISTER- C.M
Now that is alarming. In the name of providing scholarship to economically backward students, these bastards are filling their own pockets. 3. But this is not all. There are equally big shocks in store regarding how teachers are hired and how students are placed. Lecturers are hired like cows and buffalo. Gulp this. Lecturers are hired and on paper their grade is shown that of 8000. Which means that they should get a minimum of 18840 rupees per month. And that is what the college authorities deposit in the lecturer's bank account. The very next day the lecturers are asked to sign a cheque of 10000 rupees in the college's name. Some colleges have gone one step further and they only accept cash from the lecturers. So effectively the lecturers get 8 or 9 thousand rupees only.4. But this one is the worst of all. Almost all colleges claim to have placed all their students successfully. But how? How can a student who is totally untrained get a job? How is it possible that every student gets placed? And even after that we've unemployment surrounding us? The reason is shocking.The chairman or director or dean or someone from the admin calls up their contacts in some known or relatively unknown companies. The college authorities agree to pay a certain sum, lets say 15 thousand per student, to the company to hire their students. The catch is that the company can terminate the students after three months. Or they'll be kept on hold by the company till a time comes when the students himself gives up the so called placement job. So students are left with no job . While the college authorities can claim to have given placement to everyone.
This is the reality behind u.p.t.u and the private colleges which make up ninety percent of it.
5. Most colleges don't have requisite infrastructure to run the courses and still got affiliation and recognition from government. All the colleges that i've know didn't have a practical lab for electrical engineering or never conducted practicals or workshops etc. And still the files of the students are ready. How? Anybody's guess
This is not all. Its a pandora's box waiting to be opened. If only the government is listening. I hope prospective students will give another thought before entering the private colleges of uptu. And i hope parents will gauge the abilities of their wards before pushing them into this ugly pit.
