A huge scam is currently impacting Indian students in the USA. An Indian EdTech company, in collaboration with the U.S. university, has been tricking students into joining a low-quality and overpriced Hybrid MS program. Many students, like Ansar Basha, are speaking out on social media to warn others about the sad reality that’s luring in the face of an MS degree.
Here’s what’s happening:
Students are being promised admissions into the U.S. university on the basis of loan eligibility for the Hybrid MS program. But once enrolled, they find out that they either aren’t eligible for the loan or that the program isn’t as advertised. The course content is poor, and there are hidden costs everywhere. Students are being charged INR 1,00,000 just for visa assistance—services that others offer for free or at a much lower cost.

What makes this even worse is that the U.S. university involved doesn’t even have AACSB accreditation. That means the students’ credits can’t be transferred to other universities, leaving them stuck in an expensive program with no real future prospects.
Students are also reporting unethical practices by the EdTech company. They’re asked to give personal information for visa forms, and when students question these practices, they’re threatened with legal action.

This is not the first time the EdTech company has been accused of scamming students. They’ve been involved in previous scams, promising job opportunities after expensive courses, only for students to be left with nothing but loans.
If you’re considering joining such programs, be careful! Research thoroughly and don’t fall for empty promises. Many students are now speaking up to stop others from making the same mistakes.
