Education

S.B.adil rahman (Querist) 29 July 2009 This query is : Resolved
My client took admission in MSC course of sikkim Manipal University by distance education mode through the Delhi learning center.She appeared in the first year examination and was shocked to find that she had been marked absent in 2 subjects. She contacted the university which charged a certain sum and informed that her project reports in those 2 papers had been sent late by the Delhi learning center as such she was declared as failed.She was asked to appear at 2nd year examination of MSc which she did.On net she found that she had passed the examination with 1st division marks.She has a down loaded copy of the same.When she statred insisting for the 1st year result, she was informed that she will have to reappear at the 2nd year examination as she had failed. When she revisited the site after a couple of days she found that the result has been altered at the web site and she has been declared as failed in the same examination in which she had secured 1st class. I gave a legal notice to the learning center in Delhi. They said that the criteria for securing the pass marks has been changed and parcentage has been increased for passing the examination from 30% to 40%.However nothing of such sort is in the prospectus on the website of the University or through any intimation to the student. my question is that whether the client can approach the local consumer forum against the university since they have already taken 30 thousand rupees on different account.Is any remedy lies in Kolkata High court from where the candidate appeared at the examination, prepared drafts etc and sent to the learning center. the prospectus says that all disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of manipal court Karnatka.The University is a joint venture project of Sikkim Government and Manipal groups and has its H.o in sikkim where my cleinet has applied under RTI Act to see the marks of her papers but to no effect.My client has lost the chances of promotion at her school due to the non acquirement of the Masters degree.Please guide me as to how can I provide relief to my client against the haigh handed activity of Sikkim Manipal University from Kolkata Courts.
