A district consumer commission in Punjab orders Eduinx Education Services to refund ₹84,960 to an MBA graduate after the institute fails to provide placements despite promising “100% guaranteed placement.” The complainant approached the commission, seeking compensation for the company’s inability to deliver on its stated assurance.
The commission holds that the company’s placement claims amount to unfair trade practice, finding a mismatch between the representation made to students and the outcome delivered. Both outlets report the order as a complete refund of the amount paid by the complainant, based on the institute’s non-fulfilment of its placement guarantee. The decision reflects the consumer forum’s view that such guarantees, when not met, can violate consumer protection standards.
