The case was brought to their notice on March 2,” said Gurinder Chaddha, an RIT activist.An RTI filed by one of the students revealed that the institute, which promises six different courses including operation theatre technician, X-Ray technician and nursing assistant, has violated paramedical norms.Students told TOI that they were promised quality education and placements at the end of the year. However, the management kept advancing the date of the final exam after the session got over in August last year. The exam is still due. District officials and police department refused to comment on the matter and said they were not aware of any notice yet. No police case has been registered in the matter so far.
