‘Give a boost to your career...’, ‘The best courses for a dream come true job...’, ‘One of the best institutions in the city...’ etc. you might have come across such advertisement headlines written in bold letters. There are a lot of institutes and colleges that claim to be the number one in providing education and training students for a valuable skill-set.
However, the authenticity of such colleges and varsities cannot be judged just by fancy taglines and jingles. Education ads have become a regular feature in the newspaper ad supplement for any newspaper be it a national daily or a regional paper. The Times of India is a regular English national news broadsheet that is circulated all over India. The paper witnesses a huge influx of ad posts on a daily basis and the Sunday classified supplement is flooded with classified adverts under all categories.
Coming back to education ads, it is one of the most popular categories of ad posts that are printed in almost all newspapers. One should always cross check the reliability of the colleges and future prospects of a course before applying for it. It is always good to be double sure before taking admission in any of the courses or the Universities that are advertised not just in The Times of India Education Ads but any other paper as well.
There are a lot of fake Universities and colleges that run for the sake of extracting money without proper infrastructure and trained faculty. In order to save self from such fraudulent people a student needs to be extra alert and check for various validations, recognitions and certifications from the concerned authority. There are various governing bodies in India that provide recognition to the educational institutions viz UGC at University level. Hence you can connect with the UGC and other state bodies to know the authenticity of the college or varsity before acting on any education ad in newspaper TOI.
