MBA(Tech.

) Fights back for its Dignity

A day that will never be forgotten..
13th April’2011

It was 6th August’2007 when many young hearts with dreams of a bright
future entered the doors of Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management
and Engineering (referred as MPSTME onwards). The process of learning
though filled with certain obstacles had been a brilliant one owing to faculties
experienced in their respective fields and with the Information Technology
infrastructure that the college provides.

Everything was going smoothly with MPSTME building and nourishing happier
and world class professionals until one day when the responsibility of the head
Incharge of their flagship programme MBA(Tech.) was given to Mr.R.C
Agarwal. A sequence of nuisance and hysteria than began when the head
along with the course coordinator Ms.Rashmi Ashar started an era of
dictatorship governed by inhuman policies doing unjust to students at every
level that can be possibly defined.

Since the beginning of 4th year, students have faced innumerable number of
issues that extend from unacceptable faculty to internship issues. The college
had come to a state of thorough commotion with students getting debarred
from exams for errors caused by the management. A lot of attempts were
made by the students to get through the hierarchy of administration to get
their grievances addressed but all in vein.

As the paradigm set by ‘RC and RASHMI Raj’ became unacceptable with more
lives ruined each day, a revolution well initiated and organised challenged the
ideas of management, a revolution that began on 13th April’2011 and will be
remembered forever.
Flow of events on 13th April, 2011
1.30 pm

It all started with a Protest at the Main Gate by about over 100 students who
shouted and screamed for their rights. Slogans and Protests did not stop. The
cherry on the top was that The VC & Registrar of NMIMS was a witness to this
protest.

The protest went on and all students revolted against the management in the
college as the procession of students went from Gate till 4 th floor & again back
to the 1st floor.

Students did not relent and neither their voices go down.

2.45pm

The Registrar was communicated that students would present their issues by
certain representatives but in the college itself with the whole MBA TECH as
the witness.

3pm

The registrar at succumbed to demands made by the students. The Registrar

alongwith the DEAN -MPSTME Dr. DJ SHAH addressed MBA – Tech at 3.15 pm.
After an hour long session with all the grievances being conveyed, it was
demanded that the solution to all things needs to be given today and until then
the Students of MBA Tech would not vacate the Seminar Hall.

6.30 pm

After almost a 2 hour meeting with the VC at NMIMS building, we were

addressed again with the solutions provided in the circular attached with this
journal.

It has been promised by the management that, As soon as Dr. Sunil Rai returns
after the leave the other issues of a lesser priority would be addressed
immediately.
For, last 8 months all the CR's as well as students of the batch had tried
amicably to solve the various problems and issues at hand. Even after repeated
attempts most of these issues have either not listened to or delayed or had
been simply ignored by management. As things were not being solved in a
professional manner, it called for a protest.

We would like to end this with a request to the college management (Head
Incharge) to be careful while being inhumane and ruining lives as MBA(Tech) is
a force driven by unity and those hands that trust you for shaping their future
will rise up and stand together in times like this.

Thankyou !
