11. DISCLAIMER - UNIVERSITY RELATED

As an education Institute, ISOT endeavors to offer our students the best possible education/training. ISOT does not advocate or promote any university or university certifications for our courses. We believe that in professional courses like Interior Design and Fashion Design, the aptitude, talent, skill and experience are the factors that make a candidate employable. The more important factor is the institute where the candidate has undergone his/her training, then which university conducted the examination and awarded the B.Voc.

But since having a recognized university B.Voc. or diploma helps the students in obtaining attestation from the Ministry or Human Resources, Government of India, while pursuing jobs abroad we are suggesting some of the universities we are tied up or partnered with directly and indirectly. Direct or indirect partnership or arrangement with a university means we are offering their course in ISOT as per their terms and conditions as a study center of the university or through a national coordinator or collaborator appointed by the said University./p>

• At present we are directly partnered with Sandip University certification for the courses B.Voc. Interior Design, B.Voc. Costume Design and Fashion, and Diploma in Interior Design.
• In spite of our best efforts to suggest and offer the best University and courses to our students, certain gray areas in the laws and rules governing higher education in India and also the absence of proper response to our queries made to UGC, DEC and other such bodies, make it very difficult for ISOT to keep tabs on all changes that happen in the higher education arena. This lack of timely information and absence of proper knowledge may result in not having updated information of changes and amendments in existing rules and regulations governing university education generally and distance education courses in particular.
• ISOT will not be responsible or liable for any loss or inconvenience whatsoever that a student may face or may arise resulting from any change in Acts or Rules or Regulations by the government or regulatory bodies affecting the higher education in general and particularly the University to which the student is admitted or the course the student has enrolled for.
• The student is allowed to choose between the available university options for his/her Interior Design OR Fashion Design diploma course after carefully going through the disclaimers regarding university certification.
• Even though at the time of your enrolment the institute is offering a particular university or university’s courses the institute reserves the right to change the University and offer a new university to the students. The institute reserves the right to change the affiliation/study senatorship /technical collaborators with the current university/universities at any time during the course of the course if we feel it is right to do so in the best interest of the Institution and the students. A student admitted to a particular university’s course may be offered a different university when the institute feels such a shift or change is in the best interest of the student and the institute. Such change will be intimated to the students through a notice board display and also reading out the notice in the classrooms. Those students who need clarifications about the change in university or anything related to his university enrolment will be counseled to his satisfaction. Those students who are absent in the class will not claim lack of proper notice.
• Facilities, syllabus, exam pattern, evaluation pattern, etc may vary when courses are offered in partnership or collaborations with a different university.
• Students are strongly advised to check out the details of the course and its acceptability etc with the university concerned before enrolling. Students are also advised to search all available information about the university they are being enrolled to and also about courses of the university with the help of information available on the internet. We suggest the students check out for information from all available sources such as various websites and information portals. Students are responsible for informing themselves of the Universities’ procedures, policies and regulations, and the specific requirements associated with the B.Voc., diploma, or certificate sought.
