THE COACHING CENTRES WERE SHUT IN MEERUT, GHAZIABAD, LUCKNOW, VARANASI, BHOPAL, PATNA, DELHI AND NOIDA

- Sanjay Maurya

At least eight FIITJEE coaching centres in various parts of the country have shut shop over past one week, leaving several thousand students and their parents in the lurch ahead of board and entrance examinations in the coming months, even as people filed police complaints alleging that the institute did not issue refunds despite cutting short classes.

A centre in Noida Sector 62 was the latest to close on Wednesday.

The private coaching institution also shut centres in Meerut, Ghaziabad, Lucknow and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and one each in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Patna (Bihar) and Laxmi Nagar in Delhi.

The closures came after a raft of teachers resigned over the nonpayment of salaries and better offers from institutes, said management staff.
