Claim spoke about placement promise; AIMS mngmt says foul words used, rumours spread.
Although it was supposed to be an informal chat platform to discuss issues, 16 students were removed from the
AIMS Institute of Management Studies’ chat group when their discussions about placements were reported, as has been claimed. The management said it was not that simple, and the students had used foul language against faculty and staff, and also spread rumours.
The students, pursuing
MBA degrees at AIMS, said this hits their free speech. They said they were only discussing how the institute had failed on its assurance of getting them placements. The aggrieved — most of them were later reinstated in the group after the management spoke with their parents — expressed shock that the management was monitoring their views on an informal platform.
