Written by CITM Editorial TeamReviewed by Compliance Review DeskUpdated 04 October 2026

Start with the official university website and relevant regulatory portals. Confirm the exact programme name, learning mode, campus or centre and academic session.

Check fee notices, admission policies and contact information against official sources. Be cautious of guaranteed admission, guaranteed placement or requests for payment to personal accounts.

Save copies of the information used for your decision. When anything is unclear, request written clarification from the institution before paying.
