FIITJEE founder D K Goyal and 11 other people were booked after several of its centres in Delhi-NCR shut down abruptly. Here are all the details.
FIITJEE news: One of the well-known educational institutions that the youth of India has heard from their childhood is Forum for Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (FIITJEE). Founded by DK Goyal, an alumnus of IIT Delhi, it became one of the most popular preparation coaching institutions of the country. However, the institute has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in the recent times.
Reports suggest that many teachers who used to teach in FIITJEE resigned due to non-payment of salary from the institute. As a result of the sudden resignations, many coaching centres of FIITJEE were closed, leading to problems for the students who had paid their fees. For those unversed, FIITJEE reportedly runs 73 centres across the country, providing coaching for competitive exams to engineering aspirants.
Here are all the details about how and by whom FIITJEE was started.
How FIITJEE was founded
DK Goyal, with a degree in mechanical engineering, founded FIITJEE to assist students in the IIT-JEE admission process. He initially established a modest center in Delhi, where students began achieving success in IIT selections, with some even securing top ranks. This success led to an increase in the center’s popularity.
