100% job placement guarantee goes unfulfilled: MBA graduate drags institute to court, gets full refund
A Punjab consumer commission has ordered Eduinx Education Services to refund ₹84,960 to an MBA graduate for unfulfilled placement guarantees.
A training company in Punjab was ordered to refund ₹84,960 to an MBA graduate after it failed to deliver on its "100% guaranteed job placement" promise. The Gurdaspur district consumer commission ruled in favor of Harish Malhotra, who completed an online AI in product management course in July 2025 but claimed he remained unemployed for over a year despite repeated follow-ups.
The commission awarded him ₹10,000 for mental distress and ₹5,000 for legal fees. Eduinx Education Services, the accused institute, maintained that the responsibility for hiring lay with potential employers, not the platform. However, the commission found that the vague guarantee, which covered only interview preparation and profiling, did not fulfill Malhotra's expectations of a job offer.
The court dismissed Malhotra's demand for ₹6 lakh in compensation, as it was based on insufficient documentation.
