NIIT has offered a Money Back
package in computers for Class XII pass-outs as part of its Futurz career
programs. It includes a series of programs of duration from six-months to
four-years on the latest technologies leading to DNIIT and iGNIIT title.
This offer is aimed at students
who have appeared in various exams and are awaiting the results. It allows
students to appear for an aptitude test at an NIIT center and enroll for a
career program, while awaiting their engineering or medical results. Should they
secure admission into engineering or medical college based on competitive exams,
their fee paid to NIIT will be refunded. However, should the candidates wish to
continue with the course, they simply need to ask for transfer to the NIIT
center closest to their college.
It has come up with this
offering following a nationwide study conducted among students who had appeared
for the Class XII exams. The study revealed that the students' biggest concern
was uncertainty about their future and their likely career options. By
introducing this offer, NIIT hopes to take care of this uncertainty.
According to Pradeep Naryanan,
Senior VP and head, NIIT Education (India), “As leaders in IT education, the
responsibility of easing the anxieties of such students is naturally entrusted
upon us. We hope to offer bright career aspirants in medicine and engineering an
alternate career in IT, should their aspiration not be met due to intense
competition.”
