Social media users have taken note of a Reddit post that claims a private engineering school in Bangalore is charging 2.1% of students’ income as a “Placement Cell Fee.” Screenshots of the post by user PurpleRageX in the Reddit group ‘bangalore’ were widely disseminated on social media sites like Twitter.
According to the post, the college allegedly demanded payment from the student after placing her in a company and was now withholding her certificates, making it difficult for her to continue working with the company.
The college did not supply any official paperwork or a circular to back up the cost assertion. “They’re only telling me verbally and are forcing me to pay,” the post said, adding that the student was “not even earning yet. I just graduated but they want me to pay 2.1% of CTC.”
The student further claimed that the college had treated her seniors, who were hired by other companies, in a similar manner.
The college isn’t specifically mentioned in the piece, though. A different user shared their knowledge, stating, “As someone who graduated from here and never sat for placements, I was still made to pay something similar, which the college termed as ‘placement training fee’.”
