Penalised ₹15 lakh in February 2026 — the second regulatory penalty against the institute in two years — over advertisements claiming 645 selections out of 1,016 UPSC vacancies. The regulator found the institute concealed that many of the candidates it advertised had enrolled only for mock interview sessions.

The public record

Each document below is linked to its source. This is the entire evidentiary basis for the grade above — there is nothing else behind it.

  1. 01Regulatory orderFebruary 2026

    CCPA imposes ₹15 lakh penalty for misleading UPSC result advertisements

    The Central Consumer Protection Authority penalised the institute over advertisements claiming "Over 645 selections out of 1,016 vacancies in UPSC CSE 2023", alongside "6 in top 10 AIR", "35 in top 50 AIR" and "64 in top 100 AIR". The Authority found the institute deliberately concealed material information — specifically which courses the successful candidates had actually opted for — noting that many had enrolled only for mock interview sessions. The institute had previously been penalised ₹7 lakh for similar violations in advertisements relating to UPSC CSE 2022 results, and the repeat conduct led CCPA to treat this as a subsequent contravention and impose a steeper penalty.
