  • Can I volunteer to train students?

    We collect necessary proof from students (Original Bills, Bonafide etc) and make the payment directly to the student's bank account. We do reimbursement to the student.

Payment to Students

  • Why are you not paying the fees to the college directly?

    Our students are from various colleges and every college has their own payment structure, perm terms and payment modes (Cheque, Cash, Online transfer etc) which makes it logistically difficult to pay them directly. Hence, we pay to the student bank account directly after collecting all the necessary proofs.
