Punjab Consumer Commission Orders EdTech Firm to Refund MBA Graduate Over Placement Guarantee
Punjab's Gurdaspur Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ordered Eduinx Education Services to refund Rs 84,960 to MBA graduate Harish Malhotra after the company failed to fulfill its advertised '100% guaranteed placement' for an AI product management course. The commission also awarded Rs 10,000 for mental harassment and Rs 5,000 for legal expenses. Eduinx argued it provided placement assistance but was not responsible for hiring decisions, while Malhotra claimed the promised job did not materialize despite repeated follow-ups and alleged rejection of some offers by him.
