What’s happening? 👇
You might have seen the same topper’s photo in multiple ads from different coaching centers.
How is that possible?
These institutes often recycle the same student’s success story, passing it off as their own.
They also make fake claims like “100% selection” or “fee refund if not selected.”
Finally, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs stepped in with new guidelines:
Institutes must get written consent before using a candidate’s photograph.
They have to clearly mention the specific program the candidate was enrolled in.
The Ministry has already fined 18 institutes a total of ₹54 lakhs for fake “100% selection” ads.
But let’s be real: misleading ads will still pop up.
Have you spotted any suspicious coaching ads?
