    The Misleading Tactics Exposed by Coaching Institute


    The "Always No.1" Deception: How Narayana's JEE Ad Misleads Aspirants:

    1751432732480

    Narayana's advertisement prominently declares "Always No.1" alongside its claim of "5 Ranks in Top 10" in JEE Advanced 2025.

    • "Always No.1" slogan very clearly is meant to create false brand association with top ranks and is misleading.

    • Prominent display of AIR 3 (non-Narayana student) distracts from missing AIR 1. The fact that even the 3rd ranker did not study at Narayana makes it worse.

    Jain University B.Tech Admissions 2026

    Highest CTC 81.25 LPA | NAAC A++ Accredited | Ranked #62 in India by NIRF Ranking 2025 | JEE & JET Scores Accepted

    Narayana's ad exemplifies how institutes exploit aspirant dreams through carefully crafted illusions. The actual AIR 1 remains conspicuously absent from their "Always No.1" narrative - a silent testament to the deception. Narayana students never secured the 1st rank. This is misleading.

    Sri Chaitanya's Deceptive Rank Claims: A Systemic Scam Exposed

    Sri Chaitanya's advertisement fraudulently presents Dharmana Gnana Rutvik Sai – officially AIR 18 in the All India Open category and OBC Rank 1 – as an undisputed "AIR 1" topper. This deliberate misrepresentation, confirmed by JEE Advanced 2025 rank lists, exploits category ambiguity to mislead aspirants.

    1751432733738

    The institute further inflates achievements by claiming "4 students in Top 11" when only one (Arnav Nigam, AIR 11) belongs to the open category top 11. Similarly, its bold declaration of "29 ranks in Top 100" collapses under scrutiny: just *9* open-category students feature in the official top 100. These distortions rely on strategically blending OBC/SC/ST ranks with open-category data.

    Financially, this deception costs families Rs. 3 to 4 lakhs annually for "premium" coaching, while academically, it diverts students from transparent institutions. The Dharmana case epitomizes this scam: his OBC achievement is hijacked to fabricate a nonexistent "AIR 1" victory under the "All India Open" banner

    The AIR 3 Hijack: How Three Institutes Stole Majid Husain's Success

    Majid Mujahid Husain's JEE Advanced 2025 AIR 3 achievement became a battleground for coaching giants, with Physics Wallah, Sri Chaitanya, and Narayana all fraudulently claiming him as their product.

    Despite Majid Mujahid Husain (JEE Advanced 2025 AIR 3) crediting only his residential school, Macro Vision Academy (Burhanpur, MP), Physics Wallah, Sri Chaitanya, and Narayana wrongly claimed him as their "product" – exploiting his incidental use of mock tests to peddle "full-page illusions" that reveal the coaching industry's desperate monetization of authenticity through deceptive rank-clubbing tactics.

    Unless we have a government which not just releases standards of advertising but also penalises institutions for wrong and misleading advertisements, these ads will continue and students will continue to be misled.
