New Delhi, Sep 1: The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has imposed Rs 5 lakh fine on Shankar IAS Academy for misleading advertisements related to the 2022 civil service exam.
The CCPA found that the coaching institute made false claims about its success rate and the nature of courses taken by successful candidates.
In its advertisement for the 2022 UPSC Civil Service exam, the coaching institute claimed "336 selections out of 933 at All India Level", "40 candidates in Top 100". It also claimed "2 candidates have cleared from Tamil Nadu, of which 37 studied at Shankar IAS Academy".
