Several centres of coaching giants FIITJEE across Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh have unexpectedly been shut down, leaving hundreds of students in lurk. FIITJEE, a well-known institute specialising in preparing students for competitive exams like the Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Examination, has been a go-to for many aspiring engineers. The FIITJEE coaching centres have closed in several cities in North India, as teachers at these institutions have quit en masse due to non-payment of salaries. According to one such FIR, lodged ten days ago in Ghaziabad, parents accused the institute of abruptly halting operations and jeopardizing their children’s academic preparation.
