“All the students are requested not to give any kind of money to any person in lieu of getting any work done in AKTU. The declared fee prescribed by the university is deposited only at the university counter / student ERP login / official website of the university,” AKTU tweeted.

“Apart from the declared charges, no amount can be taken by any person or organization in any way. Any such transaction is a fraud. Doing so is a punishable cognizable offense. Strict action will be taken against whoever is involved in such acts,” the university added.

In case of any such fraud, AKTU asked students to inform the school at the nearest police station at studenthelp@aktu.ac.in and said that action will be taken.
