Unacademy & BYJU's under scrutiny for
false UPSC alumni success claims.
According to CNBC-TV18, CCPA has reserved its order on Unacademy's UPSC prep segment for
alleged false advertising about alumni success.
INR 1 Lakh fines
were imposed on Chahal Academy, IQRA IAS, and Rau’s IAS Study Circle;
BYJU’s under investigation
for similar tactics.
While
933 students
were selected after the final result of UPSC 2022,
ads by 10 surveyed institutes claimed that 3,500 of their alumni made the cut.
According to a CCPA investigation, it has been found that
five UPSC coaching institutes have claimed the same individual as their alumni.
Notices have been sent to
20 UPSC-prep institutes, including BYJU’s,
out of which many have paid the fines.
The trickle-down can lead to govt putting regulatory action on
NEET and JEE
prep platforms.
