Christwealth said that the school encouraged some of the students to register for professional examination, but some of them were ignorant of the benefits.

He said, “It is not true that our courses were not accredited by NABTE. We are only encouraging our students to enroll for professional exams. We did not charge them anything for preparing them for the exams but they will only pay to register for the examinations.

“The payment is to the professional bodies like ICAN, NIM and other. They are not going to pay us but some of them said we should be the ones to pay for them whereas it is not compulsory.”
