| Sharda University is only half finished when you go inside most of its buildings contrary to what they claim on their web site |
Anything I reported here is real. The purpose of reporting what happened in Sharda University is to prevent them from deceiving other staff members to bring them to the university thinking it is a real job while in fact it is a phony job. The university management selects staff who have good scientific credentials to increase the enrollment in their M-Tech course then once they get the right number of the students they get rid of the staff member and replace him/her by their unqualified Indian staff. Removing this blog will enable them to continue their fraud scandal. There is another moral scandal including a Greek staff member who didn't get his Ph.D. and was made Professor. He introduces the European women who work in the University to the Chancellor.

Sharda University Myths, Greater Noida, India:
I was interviewed via Skype to join Sharda University on the 22nd July 2013. I checked the web site and
found out that the University looks well developed with excellent facilities. BBC was always giving very
good picture of India as a rising global power. Everyone told me that if I could not find medications
I can find them in India and everything is available there. I was really optimistic to go there but I still
had fear from the unknown. At the end of the day, it is a country I never visited before and I never
had Indian friend before.
I arrived to Indira Gandhi International airport after a comfortable flight aboard British Airways. Take
it from me it is the best and safest airline to take you to India. The IGI airport looked very nice and it
confirmed that India has changed. But once I left the airport the ugly India became very clear.
The streets are dirty, the traffic is chaotic, I saw many slums along the road and there was no traffic
regulations whatever to be observed by any body.
The driver took me to a supermarket called Honey Money. It is a chain supermarket. I found very
limited supply of food. Of-course the Indian workers in the supermarket tried
to exploit me as much as they could. I found no meat but ONLY chickens; even the chicken meat was mixed
with bones. I found yellow cheese which tastes like soap; that is all what they have. I found no fresh milk.
In short I realised that I said good bye to my good life in Europe and came to live in an impverished
country. When I went to my guest flat it was without fridge and imagine that I stayed without a fridge
for 5 weeks until my Indian managers decided to move it from the next door flat where the care taker
stayed. When I arrived in the University I found most of the buildings are half finished and the corridors
are dirty. I even saw stray dogs walking in the corridors. They are dangerous because they carry
rabies. I even one day saw a big monkey in the corridor.
When I went to the HR department I met with Prof. Mitra whom I discovered in the coming weeks as one
of the most inefficient, incompetent and foolish HR Director I ever met in my career. Then I went to
the Department where I met Prof. Mehra whom I like and I respect until today. He introduced me to
his staff and was really proud to have me. I came to transfer to them the know how technology. My
Indian colleagues teach plenty of theory and equations but they don't know how to use this knowledge.
I came to teach my students how to design Analogue Integrated Circuits and Microprocessor systems.
The students were very impressed because no one ever taught them what I offered them. Prof. Mehra
always said that I am an asset for his department. I did not have a problem in my department; the
Electronics and Communication Department.
My problems were with the transport department and the HR department. The Indians live in chaos and
they don't know how to organise anything. I was stranded after work more than ten times. The problem
is that in Greater Noida where the University is located there are no taxis. The only mean of Public
Transport is three wheel dirty vehicle called Tick Tucks. They are slow, not road worthy and if they
are hit with a car either you will be crushed inside or thrown out meters away. Moreover, they are
driven by criminals and you never know what will happen to you if they stopped you in a deserted road
and decided to rob you! Probably I can hit one or two Indians of regular size men but more than that it will
be difficult. The traffic is complete chaos and the rule is to drive in the opposite direction and not to
wear the seat belt. The only thing good about the University cars that they are all air conditioned.
When I looked whether there are foreign staff I found none. I only found two ladies. The first one is
Russian who teaches English and the other one is a clerk from Estonia. Both are poorly paid. I
also found a slimy Greek man calling himself a Professor. I discovered he has a Master degree
and was given a Professor title on paper as a gift for being a good salesman in the recruitment of
foreign students. He is a poor quality academic and Greece has never been famous about the quality
of its academics. In other words, there was no qualified foreign staff.
I started to worry about the job and whether it is a real one or not! It turned out to be a scam. The
Chancellor Mr. Gupta and the HR Director Prof. Mitra brought highly qualified staff for one year
contract but in reality our job was to hype up the enrollment figures which I did. Once I arrived
in the department the recruitment jumped from 3 students to 18 students. I did not know then that
my job has been finished. I worked hard and impressed my students, the Head of Department and
my Indian colleagues until the Mid term. I designed the exams and marked them. My students
scored high marks. I was really proud of them. Once I delivered the results the Vice Chancellor Prof. Gupta
and the HR Director sent me my notice at 4 PM on the 31st October to leave the premises within 15
minutes. They even did not want me to stay one month notice. They claimed that they will give me one
month in lieu which turned out to be a big lie. But after I arrived in UK I threatened them through my
solicitor and they were forced to pay it. The managers are dodgy and liars.Within 3 months, the Sharda University managers
sacked three Professors after they achieved for them the high enrollment figures and left their classes
without a lecturer or brought one of the poorly qualified Indian lecturer to fill the space.
The students can't do much. They already paid the fees and can't get their money back and the
students are submissive. They can't challenge their corrupted managers.
India is not experiencing renaissance as BBC told us. No renaissance can take place in a hectic and
chaotic country like India. All great civilizations since the Pharaohs were well organized. I think all
we see in India is a financial phenomenon. For some reasons the international investors find the Indian
market attractive financially so they invest in India. But now the economy slowed down and the
unemployment is high. There is no question that there is
a big middle class layer but the poverty is overwhelming. I saw it in many villages. It strikes me!
Everything in the village was covered by rubbish including the roofs, the alleyways and the
water stream. If you would like to visit India be prepared to what you will face. Moreover take all the
vaccinations including the rabies. Take with you all your medications. I never saw a pharmacy there
except in their airport. Take some drink with you but never buy the local alcohol. Use purified tablets
only on the filtered water. The unfiltered water can't be drunk even if you boiled it or used the
purified tablet. Don't expose yourself to the heat. Also don't depend on the medical service there
or the Police. First the Police are corrupted and if you don't speak Hindi they will not come to help
you. No ambulance there to come to save your life. Crossing the roads is a big problem with cars
coming from every direction. I don't think I will visit India as a tourist but if I got a contract in a
better University I may go only for a short time. Make quick money then leave because your Indian managers would not keep you long. The country is polluted. The water, the air and the food are polluted. Try not to stay long time. I hope that you find
my advices are useful.

P.S. I saw baboons in the corridors of Sharda university in India; they are very dangerous primates. No one bothered to move them. I saw chaos every where in the University to the point that I used to joke and say are the baboons running the University!
Here is my letter to the Chancellor of Sharda University regarding the Fraud the University is committing in Europe and Nepal. It was sent on the 27th November 2013.
Dear Mr. Chancellor,
I have filed two international fraud charges against the University of Sharda to the Metropolitan Police in London. My solicitor preferred this approach because once one of your staff has been interrogated by the Police in UK or in EU then there is a possibility of a guilty verdict may be achieved which will facilitate our compensation cases against you, the Vice Chancellor and the HR Director. These compensation cases will be civil and against three of you; in other words it is against your assets and bank savings in Europe. I included here three people who are only witnesses and I don't have any legal troubles with them. They are the Dean, my Head of Department and Ms. Sakeena.
The first fraud case is providing phony annual contracts to European academics in London and other European cities. The three of you have no intentions of keeping these contracts for more than few months until you achieve good enrollment figures then you get rid of the European staff. It happened over the years and it happened during 2013 when I witnessed the sacking of three professors in the space of three months. My understanding is that the Police may stop anyone of the people mentioned in this email and interrogate him to find out the truth and if enough evidence is found this person may be arrested. Of-course you are cheating on your students as well but this is not the concern of the European Police. We have to deal with that through another organization. I still have damning evidence against your HR Director from his stupid emails he wrote me which in my opinion will prove beyond doubt the charges against him and the Vice Chancellor. These emails reflect also his inefficiency and incompetency. The Vice Chancellor has made big legal mistake by ignoring my legal complaint filed on the 21st October and caused a lot of legal troubles for you. I can't know how much is your involvement in this fraud but I have evidences that you have been approached several times and refused to intervene. I will keep all my evidence against the HR Director and the Vice Chancellor until I am asked to provide them to the Metropolitan Police when they ask for them as I was instructed by the Metropolitan Police.
The second fraud charge involves the President of the University and Mr. Michael Barbars. They are accused of running a fraud scheme in Nepal where they deceive the Nepalese students and their parents that the University has European qualified staff while it does not have a single qualified European staff member left thanks to the Vice Chancellor and the HR Director. The President has offered Mr. Michael Barbars a Professorship while he does not have a Ph.D. to fool the Nepalese people that he is a qualified European staff while he is not qualified and even is not allowed to teach in Europe! Also the President is grooming the poorly paid, poorly qualified European women to go to Nepal to give the impression that there is a qualified European staff in the University which is a big scam and fraud. These women are Ms. Clementine Bibost, Ms Ave and Ms Tania. Their names have been provided to the Police because they are EU citizens and if they are committing fraud abroad it does not mean they are protected from the law when they come back to Europe. True that Nepal is not covered by the jurisdiction of EU but between UK and Nepal there is plenty of legal treaties. Also the second scam will be reported to other organizations in our second phase of attacking the corruption in Sharda University. Now you know what your president intends to do in Nepal so when Mr. Michael and these women are interrogated in Europe you will be legally responsible for pushing your employees to commit a fraud. It sounds to me that your university is run by amateurs rather than professionals. I am not surprised because these are the expected standards from a third world country University!
Mr. Chancellor, you and your staff may think that you can get away with these illegal practices in corrupted, hectic and chaotic India but you and your staff have to stay in India for the rest of your life to escape justice in Europe. Even if you stayed in India we will move to India to uncover the frauds committed by your corrupted managers against the European staff and against your students.

P.S. I received these sad tweets from one of my students in the M. Tech. Program in Sharda University. They speak for themselves:

The corrupted managers of Sharda University removed me in the middle of the semester to save my salary and pushed their unqualified Indian staff who don't have even a Master degree to teach the M. Tech program (Master degree program). Of-course they don't know how to teach sophisticated courses like Design of analogue Integrated Circuits and the Advanced architecture of microprocessor. They neither know the state of the art subjects nor the know how technology. As a result, as Shivam says they divided my two courses into three different subjects and changed the syllabus then asked the students to take the final exam on the tenth of December without even explaining the new syllabus.
Such corrupted and poor practices are totally unprofessional and unethical. This University should not be allowed to teach, The European and North American Universities should not recognize the qualifications of Sharda University. Something should be done in India but first India is corrupted, second India is chaotic and anything can go. I looked at these young students as new India but it turned out that new India can't happen until these corrupted and greedy old men are uprooted. I think that within the students rights not to take the exams especially the university changed the syllabus in the middle of the semester and did not replace me with a qualified lecturer.
