001 FLEECING ON THE FIRST DAY - Mata Amritanandamayi

A few years back I saw the former President of India at the feet of Mata Amritanandamayi. Naturally, when the first Citizen himself visits a God person, expectations are aroused.

A few days back I saw an ad. by Amrita Business School, Coimbatore, inviting applications for M.B.A. course, claiming to be a deemed University etc. and with a photo of Amritanandamayi. Naturally, I am tempted to believe that the foundation will have service motive. The foundation might have received several concessions from the Government such as Income Tax exemptions for donations, free or cheap land, Grants-in-Aid, Aid for constructing buildings, Monetary Aid for some research etc.

I understood that the ABS is not a raining cloud. It fixed the cost of application as Rs. 1,000/-. The application does not provide any service to students except detailing the terms and conditions. There is always a possibility of the University denying admission to the students after collecting the Rs. 1,000/-. Most Universities charge an application fee of Rs. 250 or Rs. 300 at application stage. Then why ABS is fleecing the students at application stage itself?

It is a cow, the milk of which poor cannot sip.
