Shankar IAS Academy Fined ₹5 Lakh for Misleading Advertisements

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has penalized Shankar IAS Academy ₹5 lakh for making false claims about its success rate and course details in its advertisements for the 2022 civil service exam. The academy’s advertisements claimed high success rates and highlighted the achievements of students, but the CCPA investigation found that many of these students had only enrolled in free programs or short-term courses. The CCPA is also working on guidelines for IAS coaching institutes to ensure transparency in their advertising and protect students from misleading claims.
