REFERRAL PROGRAM (FIA & HND)
Brains is always making new initiatives to facilitate its students in every possible manner. Now for the first time Brains is introducing its “Referral Program” where students will be awarded discount on the basis of the number of students they refer to FIA and HND who successful take admission in these two programs. All students taking admission with us in FIA or HND have a great opportunity to get more and more discount through our “Referral Program”.
This “Referral Program” is effective from April 27, 2011 and will be continued for the period of two months initially.
The details of the Referral Program are as follows:
No of Referrals Discount in Fee (Rs)
One student 5,000
Two students 10,000
Three students 15,000
Four students 20,000
Terms and Conditions:
- To claim the discount, the referred student needs to be clearly identified that he/she has been referred by an existing student.
- For clear identification, one of the following need to be done:
- Our student who is referring someone should come personally with him for submitting of form and fee. OR
- The “referred” student while submitting his form should clearly state the full name of our existing student who referred him. OR
- Our student who is referring someone should call us before the “referred” student submits the form and fee and clearly state that such and such student is being “referred” by him.
- After clear identification of the “referring” student, discount will be awarded to him once the “referred” student submits his form and fee successfully.
