No CCPA penalty on record — it received a notice in 2023 and challenged the regulator in the Delhi High Court, but we found no order fining it. The concern here is in its own terms: the refund window closes five days after the batch starts, and the published terms describe advertised faculty as tentative with substitution allowed without notice.
The arithmetic
Every point, and why
Everything starts at 100. Below is every point we cut, the rule that caused it, and the document it came from. None of it is our opinion.
Government Record
Not assessedFines and orders against them from a government body, board or university.
We have no document about this, so we do not score it. That is not a pass.

We have no document about this, so we do not score it. That is not a pass.
Fees & Extra Charges
Not assessedMoney charged that was never in the fee list. Unapproved hikes. Forced buying.
We have no document about this, so we do not score it. That is not a pass.
Refunds

Your Certificates

We have no document about this, so we do not score it. That is not a pass.

What They Tell You
70/100What they show you before you pay — fees, teachers, and whether they are even recognised.
When You Complain
Not assessedHow they behave when you complain, and whether they have a complaint cell at all.
We have no document about this, so we do not score it. That is not a pass.
Each score above comes only from the cuts listed under it. The overall 70/100 is our published call on NEXT IAS — weighing those 2 checked areas together with how serious the record is. It is not a simple average. How we grade →

- 01Regulatory orderReported 30 October 2023
CCPA notice over UPSC result advertising — no penalty found
NEXT IAS was among the institutes issued a CCPA notice over misleading UPSC result advertising. We searched specifically for a penalty order against NEXT IAS or Made Easy Learnings across 2023 to 2026 and found none. A notice is not a penalty and carries no finding of wrongdoing, so it deducts nothing here — it is recorded for completeness, and to correct the common reporting error of treating a notice as a fine.

Made Easy Learnings challenged the CCPA notices in the Delhi High Court
Made Easy Learnings Pvt Ltd, which operates NEXT IAS, filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the CCPA notices. The writ was disposed of and the matter remitted to the regulator. This is the institute exercising a legal right, not a finding against it, and it deducts nothing.
- 03Published policyRetrieved 28 July 2026
Published terms: five-day refund window, faculty described as tentative
The published Terms and Conditions allow a refund only within five days of the batch commencing, after which no refund is available. Separately, the terms describe the names of advertised faculty as tentative and reserve the right to change faculty and venue without prior notice — meaning the teacher a student chose the course for can be replaced with no recourse.
Their policy vs the standard
What they promise, and what you are owed
What NEXT IAS says
“The names of faculty mentioned are tentative and the institute reserves the right to change faculty and venue without prior notice.”
The published Terms and Conditions close the refund window five days from batch commencement, make the admission fee non-refundable in all cases, and reserve the right to substitute faculty and change venue without prior notice, describing advertised faculty names as tentative.

What the rule for a coaching institute says
If you paid the full fee and leave the course midway, they must refund the fee for the remaining period within 10 days. That includes hostel and mess fees, if you paid them.

These are national guidelines that states are asked to adopt. They are not a criminal law on their own. The route that actually works for one student is the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 — poor service and unfair trade practice — through the helpline and the consumer commissions.
