Course Equivalency Petition: Fill & Download for Free

Wow!Byjus a tight slap on the Indian Education System?Many years ago - there was a Gentleman called Arindam Chaudhari. He wore a pony tail, ranted a lot of nonsense, valued businesses worth Rs. 10 Lakhs for Rs. 100 Crore and mocked at India for being old fashioned.He started an Institute - promising this and that and this and that. He charged exorbitant fees and in return gave a Laptop and some highly dubious course material and promised you - you would be in Wall Street in 3 years time.Today - 22000 Students at least have filed over 1700 Petitions, Complaints against him in wild fury and anger - all over India especially in Bangalore. I am one of the 219 Lawyers who have filed petitions in both Karnataka (Through Associate Counsel) and Madras High Courts. He has been accused of a variety of charges from fraud to tax evasion.Every generation has its own Arindam Chaudhari.They target the Average and Below Average students - and promise them the sun and the moon. These poor kids - get baited hook line and sinker. Aware of their shortcomings and realizing that they will never get into IIMs or get a perfect GRE Score or an attractive engineering college - they are convinced that their life will change.In my opinion:-Byjus is the Arindam Chaudhari 2.0The Same Arindam Chaudhari brand of baiting the Average and Below Average by promising them the sun, the moon and the stars.First off are the exhorbitant charges. Like Chaudhari - they too give you a Laptop and charge you almost Rs. 1.5 Lakhs for Classes I - Class III. Thats 50,000/- for a year but like a Vegetable Market if you choose the three year package - you get it for Rs. 90,000/-.Likewise as you go to a higher class- you pay a higher sum. For taking their package upto Class X - you pay Rs. 2 Lakhs flat. (From 4th to 10th).And you have different combinations for 11th and 12th - beginning from Rs. 70,000/- to Rs. 1,80,000/- plus horrendous fees for English and Hindi alone (Around 80,000/-)Plus Rs. 5000/- for a Test SeriesPlus Rs. 45,000/- for Crash Courses.So the charges are huge. Almost equivalent to school fees and in many cases higher than what schools charge - at least in Tamilnadu.Now are there any serious benefits?Unless Byjus has a direct line to the Goddess Saraswati and can give divine blessings to the students - the answer is NOAverage Students will continue to be Average. Below Average students will continue to be below Average. Those who join By jus and do better are simply those who have not realized their potential but have required 1.5 lakh to do soMost of the IIT Toppers are Toppers for two reasons - One reason of course if that they work hard but the other reason is THEY ARE INTELLIGENT.You cannot bring an Average guy and make him an IIT Topper just by offering a glitzy course with glossy pamphlets.I speak with examples of course.A Neighbor of mine - enrolled her kid who scored 63% marks in Class X to the 11th and 12th plan of Byjus. Apparently the woman assured her that the Kid was intelligent and should go to the Science group and that their system would take care of any chinks. She spoke so well that this woman literally handed over her child to Byjus like you did in the old days - handing your child to a guru in a gurukul.The Kids marks did not improve. He worked hard but to no avail. Supposedly there was a counsellor but he was a half baked fellow himself - who kept telling the kid to mutter this shloka and that.The Woman shelled out Rs. 1.90 Lakhs to Byjus (Her SBI Credit or Debit Card was used every time) and each time she came to pay the money - there would be promises -‘He just has to overcome his tension’ ; ‘He just has to concentrate’;’He is a very bright student but…’Meanwhile the Kids Maths Teacher literally told the mother “Your son is very average. He simply cannot study in the Science Group. Please place him somewhere - where he can relax and do well”Eventually the Kid secured 68% in Class XII with 59 marks in Mathematics. The Mother was distraught and requested my wife to ask me to come with her to Byjus. Apparently Byjus had promised the mother that if the Kid did get less than 75% , they would give him 12th coaching again free of cost or would refund some money or a lot of money (Not sure how much).So we went and immediately the woman got some other schmuck wearing a shirt and tie who gave a card to us - and began his slick lies. He brought up some report card and said the kid was this and that (Which the mother had never heard of before that day) and reluctantly refused to repeat the 12th Coaching again or give a refund.The mother was in tears - and I realized there was nothing in writing. Just as we left - the Schmuck - came to us and told us “Sir! I can help you out. I can get the Kid a second chance at 40% discount and i can give you a one on one coaching”Slowly more and more mothers - more and more of the same story.They target the Average and Below Average StudentsThey charge exorbitant feesTheir teachers are selected from Schools and they get huge cuts and commissions for referrals. So a Teacher intentionally gives lower and lower marks to the student and “advises” the mother to send the child to a Tuition like ByjusThey promise the sun, the moon and the starsEventually unless you leak the paper - the Average Student and Below Average Student will continue to remain average and below average or if they do we'll, it would be their own hard work not ByjusWhen you go back angry - they will make excuses and send you homeThen i heard they are now valued at 88000 Crores !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am Ashamed.Why am i Ashamed?Because our Country is a target for these so called “Educational Institutions” - to come and offer the world to the mediocre and suck their money and leave them dry and reeling.In China - the Average is told he is average and is given an Average Job. He is happy.In Singapore - the Average also gets an Average Job and is happyIn USA and India - the Average is promised that he is extraordinary and offered a course for huge fees promising the sun, the moon and the stars and after everything is finished - he gets ZILCH except a big loss of money or worse - a Loan from a private lender.It is one of the Biggest Cons in the HIstory of Indian EducationYou want to do well :-Assess your IntelligenceFind out your RangeDo the best that you can for your RangeHowever work as hard as possible to achieve the best in your rangeRemember the homily of Senathypathy in Indian “If you can get a job with your own talent and education - good - otherwise settle down and do any honorable job you can do your best at”P.S:- The NEET and IIT courses of Byjus are not included. I dont have enough data to conclude if they are dubious or not.So Byjus is not a slap on Indias Education System but a Slap on India and every Average Indian out there.P.S:- Just for sometime i enabled my messages and got over 50 messages about Byjus - many of them dealing with something called CASHFLOATNot Satisfied with fleecing people - apparently Byjus also makes the parents debtors by getting them to sign up and pay EMIs with a Company called Cashfloat.Messages from - Vinod Shekhar, Arun Ramanathan, Pandi J and Sreeja Thomas - say their folks signed on by paying 10% money and taking 90% vide Cash Float.They were promised materials which have not arrived. Some of them were given 45 days to quit without any charges. All of them saw the materials - and felt it was a scam and quit but surprise surprise - the Cash Float reps are calling them and demanding for EMIs and talking like a Credit Card Company. They refuse to take back any materials or initiate any refunds and if you call them they say “We have not got any such info from Byjus”

Huh. No tall women here responding? Okay, fine, I'll go.I'm about 5'10 (177.8 cm) , which puts me in the 98.8th percentile for women. (The equivalent height for men would be 6'4. (193 cm))It's not a huge deal, but I would happily be shorter if I could.Cons:Many guys prefer "short, petite" girls.Since women tend to date guys taller than them, most men are "off limits." 55% of guys are shorter than me (<5'10), and only 20% of guys are noticeably taller than me (>=6'0 or 182.8 cm).If you are overweight, you end up looking "like a truck."You can't wear heels (or if you do, you'll likely be much taller than guys).Finding pants can be a challenge. I tend to have to buy very expensive jeans, since they are made longer (because people will pay to have them hemmed). Remember, of course, that women's pants don't come in length measurements. They just have a waist measurement.Shorts are basically off-limits. You have to pick from "grandma" length shorts (eww) or ridiculously short shorts (uh, no).Most casual skirts and dresses are way too short. They're made to be shortish on a typical woman which, on me, is super ridiculously short.Pros:Formal dresses tend to be right length already. (They're made to be longer, since you'll typically adjust them.) I rarely need to hem any formal clothing.A potential athletic advantage, depending on the sportI rarely have trouble reaching things.Neutral / mixed:People make some psychological assumptions about tall people. They assume they're more assertive, aggressive, etc.

Terribly entertaining.It gave us among the first diss tracks of history, like this medieval song about the Hundred Years Wars :(In this song, English are « Engloys couez », and their king is a « petit roy Godon », Godon being the French nickname for the English, taken from their curse “God damn”, and it even became a last name in French equivalent to Langlois)English propaganda with Napoléon having a chat with John Bull :And it’s a never-ending source of memes for Internet.And the reaction in Québec when it was heard the English variant of the coronavirus was coming, of course, was priceless…(This was an anti-monarchist demo of the RRQ)And in France, the humorist Sebastian Marx from the US mocking the English of the French :There are similar things with Spain (like, they nicknamed the French gabachos, after a nickname the occitanophones gave to the French), but there is really nothing comparable in magnitude.
