With the announcement of the score line of the postgraduate entrance examination in 2022, many education and training institutions have launched a wide range of counseling classes aimed at the candidates preparing for the retest. Some institutions even set up a "guaranteed class" for the retest of 10000 yuan, claiming that there are "excellent teachers" and "internal resources" to ensure that they can pass the retest. Is such a "guaranteed class" reliable?
spend tens of thousands of Yuan "guaranteed" for the postgraduate entrance examination? Postgraduate entrance examination training chaos
The reporter entered the postgraduate entrance examination counseling class online, and the search results reached dozens of educational institutions. After entering the official websites of these institutions, reporters saw all kinds of postgraduate entrance examination counseling classes, including annual intensive training classes, weekend day classes, Golden Phoenix special training classes and VIP special training classes. The price is generally tens of thousands of yuan, of which the most expensive "guaranteed class" is nearly 100000 yuan .

training institutions claim to have "university resources"
University response: no authorization and cooperation
The reporter investigated and visited a number of training institutions, and almost all of them said this. Why do training institutions have such confidence? Where did their confidence come from? Is this so-called confidence really reliable?
In this training institution in Beijing, the staff told reporters that their guaranteed classes have been open for many years, and the interview pass rate of dozens of colleges and universities across the country has exceeded 90%.
staff of a postgraduate entrance examination training institution in Beijing: you don't care what method I used to protect, or how to operate, we can do it. We have university relations and strength, and every institution is like this.
In another training institution, the person in charge said that their interview pass rate of "guaranteed class" varies from school to school. They have their own relationships and resources. In some colleges and universities, their interview pass rate can basically reach 100%.
staff of a postgraduate entrance examination training institution in Beijing: our office is rented from the University of technology, and the headquarters is next to the North University of technology, which is the house of the University of technology. If we rent a house and don't "eat" Polytechnic University, we have no advantage. We can't tell you so much about some things.
and some training institutions directly show their cards in order to attract business .
staff of a postgraduate entrance examination training institution in Beijing: we have a pass rate of more than 90% in the professional course of master of agriculture of Hunan Agricultural University. I will give you the answer in advance and give you some scope to recite in advance. Basically, I can get it. I have got a lot last year.
Are the so-called resources and commitments of these training institutions true? Subsequently, the reporter went to the universities mentioned by these institutions for verification and verification.
staff of the research and recruitment office of Beijing University of Technology: we have not had such cooperation with training institutions. There must be no such commitment. It may be a means of publicity for training institutions.
staff of Graduate Enrollment Office of Beijing University of Technology: this guarantee is false. Don't believe it. The school has never authorized the so-called third-party organization.
staff of the Graduate Enrollment Office of Hunan Agricultural University: we have no cooperation with any educational institutions, and we can't do this.
candidates encounter difficulty in refund
beware of traps behind signboards
In addition to the guaranteed commitment and the so-called resources of colleges and universities, training institutions also have a gimmick of "refund without passing" , which also reassured many candidates . So, if you fail to pass the postgraduate entrance examination, can you really refund the fee smoothly?
Xiao Zhao is a college student in Shanxi. At the end of last year, she bought the "guaranteed class" course for postgraduate entrance examination of an education and training institution. In the contract, the institution promised that in addition to teaching public courses, it would also hire professional course teachers from designated schools for guidance.
However, public classes have been stopped after several times, and professional classes have not been taught by teachers according to the contents of the contract.
Therefore, Xiao Zhao has embarked on a difficult refund since last year.
examinee Xiao Zhao: later, the teachers of Beijing cross examination education couldn't be contacted. They didn't reply to messages and didn't answer calls. We also called the police and the education regulatory authority.
On the black cat complaint platform, the reporter saw that there were hundreds of complaints about the inability to refund the fee after taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and , including collective complaints , the institution called cross examination education had more than 100 candidates in Changchun alone.
After contacting the complaint group, the reporter found that all the candidates in the group did not get the refund. The longest delay in refund has been more than one year .
The reporter came to the registered address of the educational institution in Haidian District, Beijing.
The reporter saw that the office area of this institution is less than 100 square meters, and there are only a few on-site staff. The person in charge of the institution told the reporter that they are very clear about the refund of Changchun examinee group, but the company has encountered the difficulty of tight cash flow .
relevant person in charge of cross examination education in Beijing: we have calculated that the epidemic has been losing money during the past two years, but others can't see it as a loss. There are hundreds of students every year. The average guest unit price is about 30000 yuan, which is a lot of money, but the cost is also relatively large, so there is a slight problem with the capital flow.
According to the clues of the black cat complaint platform, the reporter came to another teaching and training institution called Haitian education in Beijing. The person in charge replied to the examinee's request for refund that this refund event belongs to the field franchise organization, and they, as the headquarters, have no obligation to deal with .
relevant person in charge of Beijing Haitian Education: he joined us and paid us the joining fee. As far as I know, the most we can do is to cancel their joining qualification and sue him directly if losses are caused.
