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.

I saw a BABOON in Sharda University corridors, they are the most dangerous primates but | no one moved to remove it |
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.
Simon Sadbury
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.
Professor: Simon Sadbury
P.S. I received these sad tweets from one of my students in the M. Tech. Program in Sharda University. They speak for themselves:
@Sai1341 now its challenge 4 every m.tech.vlsi student 2 finish syllbus and give final exam.they did just their formaltis.but b r suffering.-
@Sai1341 we have final exam by 10 dec.now we studying differnt syllbus of 3 subjects . -
@Sai1341 hello,sir how r u..did u join there..here nothing is going on fine..they arranged class of your subjects and now syllbus is differ.
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.
Simon Sadbury
Sharda University is run by shopkeepers mentality. The Vice Chancellor and the HR Director decided to save my salary to make quick profit and deal with the bankruptcy issue. When I started work in the Department of Electronics & Communication the enrollment in the M. Tech program increased %600. By next year this program would have been well established and the number of students would have reached 120 or more. Students will come when they know there are staff with high academic credentials teach the courses. But now my classes are left uncovered and it may be filled by an Indian lecturer who is poorly qualified. The Chancellor should replace his shop keepers by ones who have academic vision and able to run a University not a supermarket!

DeleteI predict that the VLSI centre and the M.Tech program will fail and close by next year thanks to the short sight of the HR Director and the Vice Chancellor. No students will enroll next year after the blunder done by the HR Director Prof. Mitra and the Vice Chancellor Prof Gupta! Unfortunately it was a very successful program started by Prof. Mehra, the HOD. No project can succeed without properly qualified staff. Sharda University will continue its poor performance as long as it has these inefficient managers who are running it.
ReplyDeleteSimon Sadbury
The clear evidence that Sharda University is a shambles University is that they did not care about the interests of their own students as they cared about their profit. They stopped me teaching in the Middle of the two courses I was teaching and I did not conclude them. As a result, the students did not benefit from what I have taught them. In the design of analogue integrated circuits course I was about to teach them how to design a whole operational amplifier. I left for them an assignment with Prof. Mehra to cover the three classes I planned to be away. He did not give the assignment to the students after I left because he knows that none of his Indian staff can teach this know how technology. The students were prevented from concluding an important course! In the advanced microprocessor architecture I taught the students the interfacing but I was in the middle of the course and I did not teach the memory mapping interfacing! Who will teach them that. The ignorant Indian managers left the students in the middle of the two courses with no competent teacher to complete my job. I am very sad for my students. They should take their money back because this is a fraud committed by the University against them and their parents. If India is really democratic the students should be able to face these corrupted managers but democracy is not implemented in their real life!
ReplyDeleteIn Sharda University I found out that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing! While the Head of Department Prof. Mehra was instructing me to supervise the projects of two Bachelor degree students the corrupted managers; the HR Director Prof. Mitra and the Vice Chancellor Prof Gupta were conspiring to end my contract without the knowledge of the Head of Department. This is how Indian staff run Sharda university and how they treat foreigners! Money comes first before education.
ReplyDeleteI just like to tell the world my story with the Indian staff of Sharda University, When I received my contract to work as a Professor in Microelectronics in Sharda University I took the Indians seriously. I took with me tens of books and tens of lecture notes to be able to conduct my job efficiently. These references were good because I was able to start a research with a post graduate student about the application of neural networks in minimizing thermal dissipation in VLSI by using efficient floor planning, I was able to select two projects for my two Bachelor's degree students in PIC applications, I was able to teach the design of analogue integrated circuits and the advanced architecture of microprocessor. I was even preparing for a new course in VLSI fabrication and another course in Switched Capacitor filter design. In other words, all these references were important to conduct the job. I have no doubts that the Head of Department was sincere about my job and was very proud to have an expert like me in his staff. What I did not know that the corrupted managers of Sharda University; the HR Director and the Vice Chancellor were using me as a tool to bring more money to the university and did not care about my job. It was all a scam to achieve better enrollment then get rid of me. I have to carry all these books and lecture notes back to UK. The idiot managers don't need them any more, they got their extra Rupees in their pockets. I am not poor to get saddened about losing the income of this job. I travelled back on British Airways in Business class. I am sad about my disappointment in people I showed them respect they don't deserve. I am sad about my students who were told that I left them and went back to UK. I am sad about my sincerity with the education mafia of Sharda university!
ReplyDeleteBy the time I left there was no qualified European staff. Only three European women were left and a Greek man. The three European women are poorly paid. Each one is paid around £350/month. They are Clementine Bibost who is a post graduate French student tutoring French classes, Ave Hasalu who works as a clerk and she is from Estonia. The third woman is from Russia and she teaches English; her name is Tania. The Greek man Michael Barbars has a master degree and was given Professor on paper though he does not have doctorate degree. He was not allowed to teach in UK and was working as assistant lecturer. He is not good academic. He teaches few classes but he is valued as a salesman who recruits many students for the university from Nepal. That is why they pay him well because he brings money to the university. But these four people are not qualified university academics. The President of the University Mr Ashok Daryani is using the above four people in another scam in Nepal. They are grooming now the French woman and the Estonian woman to join the Russian woman with the Greek man Michael Barbars to go to Nepal and pretend that the university has qualified European staff. This is one of the reasons the President gave Michael professorship to appear to the Nepalese as a qualified staff member! So when the Nepalese see European faces they join the university to discover later that there are no qualified European staff and if they found some qualified staff at the beginning of the academic year they disappear within few weeks as happened to us.
ReplyDeleteYou can see that the management team of Sharda University is acting like an education mafia and Clementine Bibost, Ave Ehasalu, Tania and Michael Barbars are helping the University in fooling the Nepalese people to think there is qualified European staff teaching in the University. I am aware that Nepal is outside the jurisdiction influence of UK and EU but unfortunately this fraud is done by Europeans who are from the EU and a Russian woman.
ReplyDeleteThe Chancellor, the Vice Chancellor and the HR Director and others have been reported to the Metropolitan Police in London, United Kingdom for running a scam and a fraud by offering European academics phony contracts for a year while they intended to end it within weeks after they achieve high enrollment figures. Of-course the Indian students in Sharda University have been fooled as well but Indian students are submissive and don't dare to complain against their corrupted managers who stole their money. Also the Indian Police is corrupted.
ReplyDeleteThe President of Sharda University and Michael Barbars the Greek employee and anyone else who may help them are reported to the Metropolitan Police for committing fraud in Nepal by taking poorly paid European girls as a show piece to deceive the Nepalese people and convince them that the University has qualified European staff while it has none! I hope that these names will be passed to the European High Commission and these people will be questioned when they go to EU states. Michael Barbars was given professorship by the president and the HR director for helping the university in its fraud in Nepal! Michael Barbars does not even has Ph.D. To this level the corrupted managers in Sharda University has no respect for the scientific titles and distribute them for fraudulent people like Michael Barbars!
ReplyDeleteLet us study the case of the Hungarian Professor Janos Kosha.He was hired by the HR Director Mr. Mitra (there is no evidence that he was a Professor)! Few weeks after he started his classes the HR Director pushed a group of Indian students to write a complaint against him that they can't understand his English. This is very unfair charge because the level of Dr Kosha technical English is good enough to enable him of conducting his teaching in English. But the corrupted HR Director Mr. Mitra hired Dr Kosha not for teaching but to increase the enrollment figures. As a result Mr Mitra removed him from his classes and ordered him to stay in the lab everyday after the Head of the Department gave him a phony research project to keep him busy. Prof. Kosha started the research in good faith. A couple of weeks later the HR Director sacked him and gave him one month notice. He wanted him to stay in the lab every day as a show piece for the Indian students and their parents to convince them that the university is hiring European staff to teach the students the state of the art subjects. This is how Sharda University is run by its corrupted managers. They are still free conducting their fraud in India and in Europe.
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate being a colleague to Prof. Janos Kosha and I reject every incidence claimed by Prof. Simon Sadbury other than Prof. Kosha sad departure from Sharda University , this make me recall his farewell day. Wish you Good luck Prof. Kosha.
DeleteYou just confirmed what I said. Why Prof. Kosha has left? You did not tell us! India is now the past. The sad & the difficult experience I faced in India is forgotten since I came back to the civilized world in Europe.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteDr Amir-al-zaman came from London to work in Sharda University in the space of five weeks the HR Director Mr Mitra has sacked him and he left even before the Mid Term exams. He was a Professor from University College London and native English speaker. The HR Director, Vice Chancellor and the Chancellor are running an international scam to deceive their own students and European academics!
ReplyDeleteMost of Sharda University staff (99%) are not qualified; they don't even have master degree. At the beginning of each academic year the corrupted managers hire foreign staff to convince their students that they have qualified staff. After the students enroll the HR Director gets rid of the foreign staff in Indian style! Then the unqualified Indian staff takes over. These practices should not be even done in a school. Sure the education standards are very low in India for a University like Sharda to be left open. It is run by education mafia!
ReplyDeleteRespected Sir ,did you like nothing in India ?
ReplyDeleteI like my students a lot and sad that they were deceived by the corrupted managers of Sharda University. You read what happened to them after I left in their own words. Anyway I showed my students the know how technology which you don't know in India and I taught them the state of the art subjects. I wish if I could have taught them more because I saw in their young faces the new India which may come out of this chaos! I pray for them. Now I am back to my European students where I belong. Nevertheless I am still in touch with my Indian students and ready to help them in any way I could.
ReplyDeleteHello Sir,

Dear Sir, it is extremely sad that you had such a terrible experience in India. We do admit that education has become just a flourishing business for lot of people in India but there are world class institutions in India also. To paint a sorrow picture of India just because of your experience with a new private university is not acceptable. It is good that you have shared your experience so that other people are also aware of the same before but it would be unfair to put whole of India as responsible for the same. India untill 71 years ago was ruled, exploited and plundered by the British for over 200 years. There were no rules n regulations then except to favour the British then. The British ruled many asian n african countries just to plunder the resources n exploit the people. What is your take on that ?? You may search about the same on portals like wikipedia etc. India is still being used just as a market for selling goods in the field of fmcg, pharmaceuticals, automobiles and what not. Things that are banned for being harmful to human consumption in your “first world” are being rapidly sold in India just for profit ! Britishers dont want to come to India but want to sell their third class goods (read as fmcg, pharmaceuticals who have failed lab tests and are banned in their own country) in this third world country because it is a huge market for them. We are sorry that you were exploited by a third grade university in India that even most Indians would refrain their children from sending to. One more thing Sir, it is always advisable to check the credentials of the employer on the internet/ reliable sources before taking up a job in India. Hope and pray that you have a better experience next time.
ReplyDeleteRegards.
