This is to bring your notice to ICFAI University‘s fraud. I am a student of ICFAI university distance learning program for MBA. ICFAI University have branch office (sales office) in many city, Main purpose of ICFAI is to take as much money from student as possible. They charge for everything.
In this race for money, one new formula that ICFAI university have derived is, they pursue students for various ways to pay money to University like “join study group”, sell of past question papers , answers (some centers in Pune also sell future question papers).
And then all the poor student who do not have money to keep paying for these increased demands of ICFAI university, only there mark sheet go through negative marking. ICFAI University have a line printed on every Question paper, where it says “There May be Negative marking“.
And this May will be decided my “Examination Committee” depending on total inflow of money from particular student. My Question is, is it legal for any University to print such line “there May be negative marking” on any Question paper.
After many Emails and telephone to ICFAI SSD department I am not able to get this answer. Email [protected]@icfia.org
Beware!
I definately agree that FAKE ICFAI is making money for everything. IDFAI uni is just a fake uni. it just a maney making foundry.
Fraud uni...
icfai is a cheater and fraud in making money by taking addminsion in the course.one student of andra pradesh get the marks 95%++, and other one only get max55 or 60 or fail.this the cheating in the state wise students.and make earn more money.so icfai is the fraud and cheater
I am an software Engineer and I am perceving MBA from ICFAI. Till now I have already paid full fees and I am not facing any kind of problems or regret. The only thing I was worried about is its approval from UGC and DEC (Universities dont require approval from AICTE only institutes need that).
I did lot of exploration and I found some genuine links from UGC and DEC here below.

sir, I am a student of INC Alwar, i had joined INC with a hope to do MBA from icfai and get agood job. I have not yet got a job. I am a Hindi midium student and i am fully satisfied and i got twice scholarship and learnt a good lot including Eng communication. Im grateful to ICFAI and remain so for ever.

Hi, This is Prateek Saxena-an ex-student of INC-Alwar.
I have been born and brought up in a middle class family of a small town- Alwar. As a normal youth, my life was moving in an aimless manner till I came to terms with ICFAI. To elaborate, after the completion of my graduation from Science stream, I was in search for a professional course that could shape up my life in a perfect manner.
It is very rightly said that when prayers are made from the bottom of the heart, they really pay off. And it happend in my case too. Soon, a miracle happened when ICFAI set up its center (ICFAI National College) at Alwar for running its renowned MBA course. The brand name and reputation of ICFAI was sufficient for me and my friends to pursue MBA from INC-Alwar. Subsequently, my dream journey with INC began. INC slowly but steadily started to remove the dirt deposited over the skills I was blessed with. Its extremely professional environment transformed me from a shy small town chap to a professional ready to embark upon the business world. Its curriculum proved to be an excellent blend of theoretical concepts and corporate world illustrations. I soon realized that now I had all the amunition and resources required for a sparkling career. All that was demanded from my side was hardwork, dedication and passion. Consequently, the things began to happen for me. The highly qualified and experienced Faculty-members at INC guided me to achieve what can only be a dream for any student. With god's grace, I secured the All India First rank in MBA [protected] batch and completed my post-graduation in a grand manner. The ICFAI University honored me with Gold Medals at National and State levle in response to my academic accomplishments.I believe my Gold Medals should generate optimum confidence and enthusiasm in all MBA aspirants from small towns like that of mine to match with the best from the metros. INC compelled me to strive hard for success, to become mentally tough, to overcome pessimism and handle crunch situations with exemplary calmness.
Simultaneously, I received an offer from a reputed Outsourcing organization- ACTIVANT SOLUTIONS at a lucrative starting package of 2.65 lacs per annum.
Truly, it was a journey composed of recognition, success, honor and paasion and the entire credit goes to ICFAI for materializing this dream. At present, my name has been finally shortlisted for three nationalized banks- State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Syndicate Bank. Hence, I am working out my options to start off my career with one of these well established Banking giants.
Finally, I owe my deep regards to ICFAI for shaping up my career and wish good luck to all budding managers who are nurtured in the cradles of INCs all over the country.
The Alwar campus has a competent and dedicated team of faculty members, both full time and visiting faculty. My team has been providing the required academic inputs and training to the students and equipping them for a career in the corporate. Our students have been placed in companies like HCL Technology, HDFC Bank, HDFC Life, India Mart, Advent Solution and many good organizations.
For the current year also similar activities are underway and students have already been placed in companies like HCL Technology, HDFC Bank, Advantage Capital and Bharti Walmart in salary ranging from 2.6 – 5.0 Lakhs. .
If any student has any query or grievance, he/she may contact me after identifying himself/herself with relevant details at ninerkartar24@rediffmail.com

ICFAI distance learning sucks. ... hardly 5% people passout (seriously).. You will never pass in the first attempt (guaranteed) .. as the syllabus is too damn difficult... moreover they sell previous year question papers for Rs. 100/ PAPER- YES they sell previous year question papers for Rs. 100/PAPER (PDF format)- so the students should not know the pattern. ICFAI wants students to enroll and keep on paying money all the time.
They call it distance learning... i had to quit my job to study their god damn subjects... its full time anyways now...
i would strongly discourage anyone from going in for ICFAI...
Hello Seom,
At the outset you have made allegations without revealing your identity.
Once you enroll into the professional program it requires hard work and grasp of the subject to successfully complete the program. As regards the model question paper, please note that the model question paper is available for free download by students preparing for the specific group subjects. However the past question papers are included in the workbook also. Hence your observation on payment for the model question paper is not really correct.

The truth is clear on UGC site. Please go to following links:
• http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/deemed%20universities/icfai.html
• http://www.dec.ac.in/newODLInstitutionsrecognised.htm
• http://www.ugc.ac.in/inside/privateuniversity.html (Most Important)
By vising these links, You will be sure that ICFAI and its universities has never been permitted to conduct any distance learning course by UGC (www.ugc.ac.in) and DEC (www.dec.ac.in).
What I am implying after visiting these links that ICFAI is doing fraud with all distance education students but those are studying in recognized campuses of ICFAI universitiy mentioned in UGC list, have no reason to worry.
Also I want to inform all future students of MBA program that 95% of ICFAI MBA pass outs have got some kind of marketing jobs profiles with CTC (cost to company) varying from 1.8 Lacs to 6 Lacs. Everybody knows how much stable a marketing job profile is? So there is no guarantee that you will get a good job by doing ICFAI MBA if you are not looking job in marketing.
Hi all guys and ICFAI uni,
I am not agree with ICFAI's policy, If the person wants to widraw the admission the are not allow until and unless paid the total amount. If the person doesn't have capability to pay the amount and not able to crack the all exams then how ICFAI still charging to all..?
Student Service Dept, please answer for my question..?
HI all,
I definitely agree that ICFAI is making money, If some one wants to widraw the admission then they do not allow to widraw the admission until and unless we paid the all fee. If we do not want to continue the MBA process then why cheated ICFAI asks for money, we are living in democrotic country not in vulger country.
If you(ICFAI) wants to earn money without hesitation then go to RAILWAY STATION people will pay you...
Bloody bool[censored]
ICFAI is just fake and brothel kind of INDUSTRY...
fake university
fake ICFAI
I request you people do not take an admission in an ICFAI uni it is just a money making FACTORY each and every people has having the same [censor] problem from fake ICFAI uni

the system itself is confusing.. thre's no proper way of communication of wats hpenin in the university.. no circulation of chnges.. no notification of exam schedules on tym, no proper web informtion... do they really employ qualified faculties? do they hev proper education system? do they hev their own campus to b cald a university? some of the ICFAI brnch may b doin well... the course may b very gud.. the nem may b appealin... their promotion strategy n approach may b temptin one... but... they all r only helpin most of the brnches to succk the money out of innocent students... this university only knws hw to get money but dusnt knw hw to provide the promised service... we sud wake up n stop these people frm harmin the lives of othr people on whose lyf n career they r playin...
the sysytem itself is confusing.. no notifications are served for the changes made... it seems Hyderabad is only added to its placard during the times of taking admission to attract innnocent people... most of the ICFAI University in the NE region does not have a campus of its own.. either its a rented house or a rented room above a hotel... if such university gives degree who will respect or know the capability of the student... its only t make money out of the people they have said its under the hyderabad banner... there should be a stoppage to this money suckers... what legal actions should be taken and what should the society do against such scruplous scoundrels?
Dear Student,

The allegations are totally wrong. Things people need to understand..
1> The course content is very good. And this type of syllabus is necessary to bring out quality MBA's in the market. If people need a very simple syllabus and a university which will pass all its students who dont take effort also, then there are many other universities that you can join. Dont unnecessarily spoil the name of ICFAI just because you cant pass.
2> There is no such thing as negative marking. Please observe the question papers properly next time. If you think you are getting negative marking, why dont you apply for re-evaluation or the answer transcript. But you have a small charge for it and I think it is acceptable since they do additional processing and duplicate works for re-evaluation. And moreover all institutes charge for re-evaluation.
3> I have been consistently able to get 80% without attending any contact classes. So, there is nothing like only if you go to classes you can get good marks.
4> I have been studying and working parallely. If you spend proper time to study, you can surely hit the goal. If you are not able to cope up, then its not ICFAI's mistake.
5> Nobody sells past question papers for money. When i joined ICFAI, I got the entire set of past question papers for 6 years for free. Also you have model papers which you can download from your student services page.
Hi, I am Prasad from maharashtra...i would like to tell people who want to join ICFAI MBA...the course is tough no doubt...the people who r complaining are the people who are frustrated...u r talking about symby ...wtf...i have not yet finished my MBA from ICFAI and i am teaching MBA finance people of this so called gr8 symby...ICFAI rocks...
Do not go for ICFAI. The management is a cheat and would reap off your money mercylessly. They will make sure you never complete the course. Thats my personal view.

I'm a working professional and hard;y get time to sit and study becase of the strict schedule.
I completely agree with you... I am currently enrolled with them. They have so many local branches in every state, but alas the people employed their seems to be completely illiterate... ICFAI is synonymous of Cheating & Fraud... they have not refund the amount back which I credited in their account by mistake neither they are interested to adjust that in exam reg.
On top of that they have a Deaf & dumb team in Hyderabad which never respond to your calls & mail.
This id ssddlp@iutripura.edu.in is good for nothing, this is only used for begging the money from students... Those who are about to enroll here ... please make a note of these things... They are not professionals & so don't spoil your time there...
One more thing... is there any way or an organisation where I can forward my compliant for immediate action... ?
I have joined MHA program with ICFAI. I am very unfortunate that there is not a single contact class. Since I am doing the program in correspondence, I was looking for some guidance and mentor. The standard of question paper is very high in terms of languange and twisting, but not a matter of worth. I have completed 3 groups and i find they intentionally changed to grade where we cannot identify the marks. Totally worst on educating the students. Just by keeping the exams tough, it could not become a good institution.
Hi Friends,
I am also a student of ICFAI for MBA course & totally agree with Dhananjay. ICFAI is thw worst place to do any course, also Hyderabad High Court has banned the ICFAI institute but theyare still active & doing fraud with students. The reply to Dhanjay's post with Disagree are posted by ICFAI staff members only & they are trying to fool. If I am wrong then give me prrof of their identity that they are the students of ICFAI.
ICFAI is the cheaters institute.
anybody tell me how i sue the case against cfai tripura?
i am doing mba from icfai tripura.how can i sue a case against icfai tripura
I completely disagree to the negative comments given by people against ICFAI. I'm an alumnus of IFCAI. I completed by MBA-HR through distance education. I dint find one reason to complain. Do not compare the distance education offered by other Universities with ICFAI. Yes, it is more expensive when compared to other Universities.But they make proper justice to it by providing flexibility in leaning for working professionals. If you want to study through distance education and complete it with less efforts, then ICFAI is not you. You'll have to treat it as regular course and study otherwise you cannot clear exams. This is because of the standard they maintain for the curriculum.
ICFAI Tripura is approved by UGC. And I'm working in one of the top Software companies and it has been recognized by them. Moreover I have travelled to US and Canada for work. For applying visa, background check would be done against your educational certificates. My Post graduation has been accepted everywhere.
Hi,

I want to know MBA from ICFAI University is valuable? This University is recognized from DEC & AICTE?

Hello
I got to know that ICFAI is a UGC approved university, their main HQ is in Hyderabad, but in the web site there is no other university option of ICFAI Sikkim, Today i went to one of their office in gujarat and they given me information about ICFAI sikkim, i got this university through google.in that there is UGC certification dated 2009 OCT. Then i go to web site of ugc.ac.in . In the list of UGC it was their but established date was 2004. so what about these five years of gap. also in UGC web site no any visit from any expert committee taken. and in remarks it is listed as "Information, called for inspection purpose, still awaited.". So what should we expect from this ICFAI sikkim university. when i am searching top distance study university it is showing me ICFAI hyderabad but not sikkim. So if any one studied over there pls guide me should i join this sikkim university or not.? also in ICFAI website UGC certification phone number of UGC Center is wrong. so is it real UGC certificate or fake? If anyone know please guide.
I strongly object Mr.Venkat's comments. Apart from the program fees and exam fees, ICFAI will not charge anything for Question papers. I strongly challenge Mr.Venkat or anybody to get the certificate for money from ICFAI. I request Mr.Venkat or anybody has constraints with ICFAI to call me on +91 [protected].
