dear sir/madam,

i am a marine engineer and i did my marine engineer course in chennai in passed out in 31st aug 2011 i just want to bring to notice some thing which will help the public and more people will not suffer in future or undergo the same problem like i or the others who did the course in this college had to suffer

ok let me start

I DID MY GME {GRADUATE MARINE ENGINEER } course in MARITIME FOUNDATION SEVAPET CHENNAI THIS IS A ONE YEAR COURSE AS PER DG SHIPPING GUIDELINES AND SINCE I DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT MARINE FIELD I JOINED THIS COLLEGE AND DID THE COLLEGE THEY CHARGED ME AROUND 3 LAKHS FOR THE COURSE WHICH IS WAY ABOVE THE ACTUAL FEES WHICH DG SHIPPING CHARGES AND EVEN DURING THE COURSE THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES LAID BY DG SHIPPING FEW LIKE THE STUDENTS ARE SUPPOSE TO UNDERGO 3 MONTHS ON-BOARD TRAINING OR IN TRAINING IN A SHIP YARD BUT OUR COLLEGE JUST GAVE US 3 WEEKS +1 WEEK TRAINING ON BOARD WHICH WAS IN WSL IN GOA WHICH WAS NOT ENOUGH THUS COLLEGE BREAKING THE GUIDELINE AND AFTER WE 24 STUDENTS FINISHED 1 YEAR IN THE COLLEGE WE WENT TO MMD OFFICE TO GET OUR CERTIFICATES THE MMD OFFICE TOLD US THEY CANNOT GIVE THE CERTIFICATE AS WE HAVE NOT FULL-FILLED THE GUIDELINES LAID BY DG SHIPPING AFTER A STUDENT DOING 1 YEAR IN COLLEGE AND SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY IS THIS WHAT THE STUDENT OR PARENT HAPPY TO HEAR SO WE WENT TO COLLEGE AND TOLD THEN AND THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK IN TO THE ISSUE AND GET THE CERTIFICATES WE WAITED FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS AND EVERY TIME WE ASK THE COLLEGE THEY KEEP SAYING MILLIONS OF REASON FOR THE DELAY THEN ONE MONTH GOT OVER AND THEY STILL KEPT ON SAYING REASON AND WE DID NOT HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN AFTER ONE MONTH COLLEGE SAID IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME SO WE CAN GO BACK HOME AND ONCE THE CERTIFICATE IS READY THEY WILL CALL US WE WENT BACK HOME AND WAITED THINKING THE COLLEGE WILL CALL BUT THEY DID NOT BOTHER THEN WE STARTED CALLING THE COLLEGE AND THEY USED TO ASK US CALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND KEPT FOOLING US SAYING DIFFERENT REASONS AND THEY AFTER SOME TIME THE COLLEGE STARTED USING DIFFERENT TONE TO STUDENTS THEY STARTED ASKING US WHY WE ARE CALLING THEN EVERY TIME THIS IS GOVT ISSUE AND THEY CANNOT KEEP BEGGING THE OFFICERS IT WILL BE DONE WHEN IT IS DONE THE WE LOST HOPE WITH COLLEGE AND FINALLY WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH DG SHIPPING DIRECTLY AND THEN THE TRUTH WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT DG SHIPPING TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WARNING THE COLLEGE AND ASKING THEN TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES AND THE COLLEGE DID NOT LISTEN TO THEM EVEN THE PREVIOUS BATCH'S ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE LIKE US BUT THE COLLEGE SOME HOW CONVINCED THE MMD OFFICE AND GO THE CERTIFICATE BUT THIS TIME THEY COULD NOT DO THAT AND THE COLLEGE WAS CAUGHT RED HANDED BY MMD AND DG SHIPPING AND THEY WITHHELD OUR CERTIFICATE NOW COLLEGE DID NOT HAVE ANY PROB THEY ARE STILL RUNNING THE SAME COURSE FOR OTHER BATCH'S AND NOT BOTHERED ABOUT US AND NOT IT IS ALMOST 2 AND MORE MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOT GOT THE CERTIFICATE AND WE ARE UNABLE TO SEARCH FOR JOB NOW AT LAST DG SHIPPING HAS DECIDED TO GIVE US THE CERTIFICATE BUT AS A PUNISHMENT WE HAVE TO SAIL FOR 9 MONTHS BEFORE APPEARING FOR EXAM WE ARE PUNISHED FOR THE COLLEGE MISTAKE

I EVEN GOT TO HEAR THEY THIS COLLEGE IS ADDRESSED BY COMPANY AND IN DG SHIPPING ITSELF AS ROBBERS COLLEGE AND THE REASON THEY SAY FOR SUCH A NICK NAME FOR COLLEGE IS BECAUSE THE OWNER AND CEO OF COLLEGE ONLY MOTTO IS TO EARN MONEY EARN MONEY

SO ITS MY HUMBLE REQUEST THAT SUCH COLLEGE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OR KEPT OPEN SO THEY CAN CHEAT EVEN MORE STUDENTS AND PARENTS AND LOOT THEIR MONEY

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT EVER I HAVE SAID BLINDLY U CAN INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE BY YOURSELF AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH AND IF U FIND OUT IT IS TRUE PLEASE WARM THE PUBLIC FROM TAKING ADMISSION IN THIS COLLEGE

IF U NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON 09742407000 OR 09448121414 OR MAIL ME AT ashik120@gmail.com

HOPE YOU WILL DO JUSTICE TO US AND EVERY ONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU AND TIMES OF INDIA


THANKING YOU

YOURS FAITHFULLY
