ok the news is nice but below i hav a message for those who are thinking to come to india via consultancies in bhutan
I am a Bhutnes student studying in India. As a good citizen I would like to save my junior friends from making wrong choices in life and also would like to state few points against the consultancies in Bhutan. I cannot really make sure what other consultancies are upto however I am totally disappointed with the EA-Z consultancy.
Being here in India it’s of a greater experience of the promises made by the consultancies in Bhutan. For a little profit a future of a teenager is destroyed. Moreover I would like to point out some of the false promises they give in BHutan. Nothing is as they say. Either these budding consultancies are bringing out some false information or the are trying to win a profit with LIEs destroying the lives of their own Bhutanses generation of Energetic and intellectual youth.
Now here the main problem is that this consultancy gmakes many false promises to the class 12 passed outs who are not aware of these facts.
They collect the money and say the students that everything is fixed for admission. They also make many empty promises on other things such as fooding they say there are bhutanese cooks available, alas many sudents have dietry problems. Big rooms were promised but in real it hardly affords any comfort and many more false promises.
I would also like to bring attention of th fact about the fee structure. The tution fees as well as the mess fees were said to be fixed in the begining however we are finding many discomfort with the unusual fee schemes. There is not much against the tution fees however the college charges a huge extra sum upto Rs 10,000 a year on accout of rise in price of vegetables and rice. This is beyond any kind of open fraud and while informing the consultantt about such situation they are completely ignorant. We expect them to fight for what the college has promised for the foreign students . But disappointing to know that they have forgotten their own words. We would like to bring to your notice that while increasing the mess bills by such huge leaps the total fee structure takes a giant leap. This really brings poor students like us to one such paralytic situation. We can neither leave the college not afford the amount. We are helpless.
I hope you would kindly look into this matter and also for you kind and prompt action. This is for our next younger generation of Bhutanese youth who are going for their further studies abroad in India.
