Off Topic- IIPM Ads Being probed by MRTPC

Remember IIPM?

Well MRTPC is probabing IIPM's ad claims according to the Business Standard. Good to see this happening.
Seeking to give relief to lakhs of aspiring business managers, the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) has initiated a probe into enticing claims made by Arindam Chaudhuri-controlled Indian Institute of Planning and Management ((IIPM).

Taking suo-moto cognisance of IIPM ad campaigns that promise free laptops and tours abroad for its students, MRTPC last week directed its investigative arm DGIR to look into the promises made by the institute.

I am sure that there is no such thing as the proverbial free lunch, leave alone a free laptop.

There has to be catch!

It's a good thing that the court has taken suo moto notice of all these tall claims.
