COACHING CENTRES ARE PROHIBITED FROM MAKING ANY TYPE OF GUARANTEED CLAIMS, SUCH AS ASSURED RANKS IN ADVERTISEMENTS
-
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), a federal regulator, has issued guidelines for academic coaching centres in the country, barring misleading representations about the quality or standard of their services.
Under the new regulations, coaching institutes cannot use photographs of top-scoring students in their advertisements without their consent, consumer affairs secretary Nidhi Khare said. Coaching institutes must also accurately represent their infrastructure, resources and facilities.
