As explained in the post, the college demanded the student "to pay 2.1% of my CTC and they've termed it as 'Placement Cell Fee'". However, as mentioned in the post, the same was not told to the students earlier and the college management has withheld their certificates.

"They're only telling me verbally and are forcing me to pay. Not even earning yet. I just graduated but they want me to pay 2.1% of CTC," the post said.

According to the student, her seniors had a similar experience from the college when they got placed in several companies.
