Chandigarh: Panjab
University officials here were left red-faced after they
discovered that a Delhi-based company, which conducted campus
interviews at its School of Communication Studies (SCS) department
for public relations jobs, was bogus.
Panjab University officials Thursday said the managing director of
New Delhi-based Laj Group of Companies had visited the department
Tuesday and conducted a written test and one-on-one interviews.
He had also shortlisted 10 students of the final semester and
offered them a package of Rs.12,000 per month for first three to
six months training period.
To ascertain the credentials of the company, some students doing
their internship in New Delhi went to its Connaught Place address
only to find that no such company existed.
SCS chairperson Wednesday night circulated an e-mail among all
students cautioning them about the fake company.
"Please do not join this company as we have found that the WTC
(world trade centre) address at Connaught Place does not exist,"
the e-mail said.
Archana R. Singh, chairperson of SCS department, said: "We had
some suspicion over the behaviour of the company's representative
so we verified its credentials."
"It was a bogus company. We have directed our students to
immediately stop communication with the company officials," she
added.
Sources in the varsity said the same company had also visited two
other departments of Panjab University for placements during the
last few days.
The varsity's authorities are now contemplating lodging a police
complaint and taking legal action against the bogus company.
