MUMBAI: In the middle of the pandemic, students from a Borivli-based management college are being allegedly asked to go on an industrial visit to Dubai this month.
Students who want to opt out are being asked to attend an online certificate course from an Ivy League institute. Many are opposed to the trip and allegedly are not even keen on taking up the course and have asked the college to waive off the Rs 80,000 fees.
On Tuesday evening, Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) students of Aditya Institute of Management Studies and Research received an email from their department head informing them about a presentation by a Dubai Tourism executive scheduled on Wednesday. According to the mail, the trip was scheduled for students in two batches—on March 18 and March 21. The institute cancelled the presentation in an email sent two hours later.
