Coaching Institutes Penalized for Misleading Ads
The CCPA has fined Motion Education Pvt Ltd and Career Line Coaching for misleading advertisements about JEE and NEET results. Their promotional materials failed to disclose vital information about student courses. Both institutes are appealing the decision amid wider regulatory scrutiny in the education sector.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has fined two major coaching institutes for releasing deceptive advertisements touting JEE and NEET success rates.
Motion Education Pvt Ltd and Career Line Coaching (CLC) in Sikar were penalized Rs 10 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, respectively, for misleading claims in their promotional campaigns. These ads prominently featured unstated success stories of students attending free or non-enrolled courses.
The CCPA's ongoing regulatory efforts have already led to over 60 notices and fines totalling more than Rs 1.39 crore against 31 coaching institutions, highlighting a significant crackdown on unethical practices in the sector.
