The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) vehemently refutes the circulation of false information regarding the Prime Minister’s Free Laptop Scheme for Students. Several misleading reports have surfaced recently, falsely claiming the initiation of such a scheme.
These reports suggest students to apply for this scheme through AICTE website link. While there has no such scheme been launched by AICTE.
The AICTE categorically denies the existence of any such scheme. There is no official announcement or implementation of a Prime Minister’s Free Laptop Scheme for Students. Any information stating otherwise is entirely fictitious and misleading, quoted a senior officer of AICTE.
Officer said that It has come to our attention that certain news websites and social media platforms are irresponsibly propagating this false information.
Officer said the dissemination of such baseless claims not only misleads students but also undermines the credibility of authentic government initiatives. It can also lead some online fraud and our student can be cheated by cyber criminals.
“We urge students and the public to exercise caution and verify information from reliable sources before believing or sharing it. Furthermore, we caution news websites and media outlets against publishing or promoting unverified news, as it can have detrimental effects on society’s trust in media”, he said.
The AICTE remains committed to promoting transparency and integrity in all its endeavors. We urge everyone to rely only on official announcements from authorized channels for accurate information regarding government schemes and initiatives. For any clarification or inquiries, please contact the AICTE Public Relations Department. All the schemes related to students and the faculty members of AICTE approved institutions are available on Councils website. Students can also take information from Council’s landline numbers.
