There are a lot of fake courses been offered in Kochi. One such institute is at Kadavantra which offers a postgraduate diploma in clinical research. It says to have affiliation with Canadian university and American universities. That institute charges fees of ~4.5 lakhs. They enroll students who just completed M.Sc in various streams, MBBS, BAMS, BHMS, BDS, B.Pharm, M.Pharm, and B.Tech etc. They offer huge salary after completion of one-year course.But to the students heartbreak, it was found that the certificate don’t have validity anywhere in India and no value even in Canada or America with which the institute is said to be affiliated. So dreams of the students are shattered and are led to roads to search job of their own, even after paying/taking huge loan.This institute is seen to have no moral, ethical values. Students have protested a lot for certificate and jobs, but all in vain.

The sad fact is that most of the students are from various parts of India like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, Mangalore, Pune and many other cities. So for the students to coordinate and act against that institute became difficult. Many students joined this course with a dream of building a career, but apparently their life seems to be spoiled by this institute, giving students mental agony, pressure from family for job etc.

All in all it is a straightforward case of unfair ways adopted by a group of people in our own society in our own city to make money and bring students in danger.

This blog hopes to get active support by popularizing and educating young students to be aware of such fake ventures. Kochi is becoming hot destination not only for big investments, but also for such cases. We need to cut it down from root level.Please comment on the matter and also share of any such instances in Kochi.
