Business school ordered to pay damages to five students

NEW DELHI: A city management school has been ordered by a Delhi district consumer forum to pay damages and return the admission fees, totalling Rs 85,000, each to five of its students for admitting them after concealing some crucial information about both the school and the course.

A district consumer forum headed by its President M P Mehndiratta asked Rai Business School to pay damages and return the admission fee to the five students, saying it had indulged in unfair trade practices with them by concealing that the post graduate degree course in business management it was offering was a correspondence course and not a regular one.

The forum also held the school guilty of misrepresenting fact and not telling them it was not affiliated to any university.
