Live LawThe National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission bench of Dr Inder Jit Singh held New Delhi Institute of Management Studies liable for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice for misleading a student into joining its MBA course with the false assurance that the course was being offered in association with Madhuraj Kamraj University. Brief Facts: The Complainant alleged that New Delhi Institute of Management Studies and its admission officer falsely informed him that the MBA course he intended to join was a regular two-year course associated with Madhuraj Kamraj University and approved by the University Grants Commission. Observations by the NCDRC: The NCDRC reviewed the District Commission's order, which stated that the Complainant believed the institute had UGC approval for the MBA course. District Commission's order was then upheld by the State Commission, which found no material to support NDIMS's claim that the MBA course had UGC approval.
