Laptop locha!

[sunandadhawan]

Is it fair for an MBA institute to insist that a student buys a laptop before joining the course? Anupam Pathak thinks not. After securing admission in XISS Ranchi, Anupam learnt that he would have to pay Rs 50,000 extra for a laptop in order to join the course.
what is the issue - that students must buy a laptop, or that students must buy a laptop from XISS.

The question is this: should mandatory laptops be seen as:

a) A cheap way for institutes to wriggle out of providing a computer lab facility on a 1: 1 ratio basis?

b) Or, should it be seen as a smart way for an institute to deal with a space/ resource crunch?

Buy laptop from where ? buy it from the institute ?
If thats the case its daylight robbery,why cant a student buy it from outside that too only if he can afford to own a laptop.And this type of mandatory implementation takes place bcoz other richer students dont protest and without understanding go for the laptop.

ya !buy it from the institute. After getting addmission institute demands money
from the students for laptops.

What will a management institute teach on a Rs. 50,000 worth laptop! Multimedia designing? Normal office work can be comfortably done on a Rs. 20,000 laptop. In any case the institute should either subsidize the laptop or let the student buy it from outside.
