India
Published on 15 May 2026
Students in ads were often on free online tests, not coaching
The CCPA has fined Motion Education and Career Line Coaching Rs 10 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, respectively, over misleading JEE and NEET result advertisements. The regulator said the institutes used students’ names, photos and ranks in promotions while concealing key details about what programmes those students actually took. Investigators found many featured successes were enrolled in free online courses or test-series only, and some joined after exams ended. The orders were challenged at the NCDRC.
