The AICTE has asked institutions to report such 'fraudulent job offers' made online and teachers, students to trust only communications from aicte-india.org or aicte.gov.in.
NEW DELHI : The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has alerted higher educational technical institutions and their faculty members regarding fake job appointment letters being circulated online. As per the AICTE notice, all the fake job offers are being issued in the name of AICTE and the ministry of education (MoE).
The fake appointment letters are being sent from counterfeit email addresses resembling official domains. These fake letters have misled individuals into believing they have been offered job appointments. AICTE has said it only uses its official domain, aicte-India.org for any communication or information.
“It is for your information that the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) uses only its own domain as aicte-India.org for any communication.” AICTE notice reads.
AICTE has requested faculty members to report any such incidents to the local cyber crime cell and computer emergency response team (CERT-In) at the earliest.
