SSANDIP UNIVERSITY SCAM
Urgent and Honest Student Experience – Please Read and Share
I’m currently a 1st-year B.Tech student at Sandip University, and I want to share a serious issue I’m facing that may affect hundreds of other students as well.
At the time of admission, I was approached by a company named Konfido Edutech, which promised complete admission support and charged me ₹2.56 lakh, claiming it covered my entire first-year fees (including college and hostel). Trusting them, I paid the full amount — but now I’ve discovered that Konfido has only paid ₹25,000 to the college.
According to the official fee structure, the first-year fee is ₹2.02 lakh, and ₹2 lakh per year for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Despite this, I am now being asked to pay an additional ₹37,000 for college and ₹48,000 for hostel fees, even though I already paid the full amount to Konfido.
I’m currently in my 2nd semester, and my ERP portal shows a pending balance of ₹1.77 lakh. Due to this, I am unable to fill my exam form, and the last date is April 20.
To make matters worse:
Konfido made me pay through multiple UPI accounts, raising serious transparency concerns.
Over 2,000 students, including many from Telugu states, were reportedly admitted through them under similar conditions.
The Telugu-speaking admissions agents specifically targeted students and parents from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, making big promises and showing fake or misleading documents.
When I asked to withdraw my admission, they told me I must pay fees for three semesters.
I am now stuck with a large unpaid balance in the university system and unable to cancel my admission.
This situation is causing a lot of stress and uncertainty about my future. I am sharing this to spread awareness, warn other students and parents, and hopefully get guidance or support from those who have faced or resolved similar situations.
If you are a student, educator, legal advisor, or someone who can help or amplify this issue, please reach out or share this post.
Company involved: Konfido Edutech
University: Sandip University
Issue: Fee fraud / non-payment leading to academic blockage
Targeted students: Primarily from Telugu states (AP & Telangana)Thank you for taking the time to read.

thThis is a classic case of **scam** and **fraud**, and you’re caught in the middle of it.
1. **Konfido Edutech is the culprit**: This company took your money and failed to deliver what they promised. They charged you ₹2.56 lakh, which was supposed to cover everything, but they paid only ₹25,000 to the college. That’s **fraud**. They misled you into thinking they were covering your fees and now you’re stuck with a huge balance that you didn’t owe in the first place.
2. **Sandip University’s role**: They should have checked the payments made by Konfido Edutech and made sure the fees were paid. But no, they’ve gone along with it, and now you’re being asked to pay more. The **university is responsible** here as well. If you’ve paid what was agreed upon and they didn’t receive it, it’s on **Konfido Edutech**, not you.
3. **The UPI Payments**: This is a huge red flag. **Multiple UPI accounts** for one transaction? That’s a serious transparency issue. It’s like they were trying to hide the trail, so if things went south, they could blame you or say you didn’t pay. **Demand transparency** from both Konfido and the university about these payments. They should have clear records of where your money went.
4. **What You Can Do**:
– **Contact the University**: Go straight to the top. **Go to the Registrar or VC (Vice Chancellor)** of the university, explain your situation, and demand an immediate investigation into the fees issue. If you’re stuck and unable to fill your exam form because of this balance, **make it clear** that this is affecting your education. Don’t just take their word for it; **demand documentation** of all the payments and agreements.
– **Get Legal Help**: You should talk to a lawyer and consider sending a **legal notice** to Konfido Edutech and Sandip University for **breach of contract** and fraud. They are legally bound to deliver what they promised. If you can, also check if you can join any other students in a **class-action lawsuit**.
– **Report to Consumer Forum**: This isn’t just a university problem – this is **consumer fraud**. You can **file a complaint with the Consumer Forum** or the **Consumer Protection Act**. This will get the attention of authorities and make these fraudsters pay. You can also report **Konfido Edutech** to the **National Anti-Profiteering Authority** if you think they’re involved in unfair trade practices.
– **Alert Other Students**: Share this post everywhere and talk to other students who might be going through the same situation. There’s **strength in numbers**. If more students unite, they’ll have to act faster.
– **Social Media and Public Pressure**: If things aren’t moving, take this to **social media**. Tag the university, Konfido Edutech, and any other relevant authorities. Public pressure works wonders. Make sure to use the hashtag #SandipUniversityScam or similar to create awareness.5. **What You Need to Demand**:
– A full **refund** of any money paid to Konfido Edutech and a **formal apology** from the university for allowing this to happen.
– **Clear documentation** of where the fees went and how much has been paid on your behalf.
– An **immediate waiver** of any outstanding fees that were not your responsibility.You’ve been **scammed** by Konfido Edutech, and the university is letting this slide. Your next steps are to **demand action from the university**, **consult a lawyer**, and **report both Konfido Edutech and Sandip University** to the authorities. Don’t let them get away with this. **Your education and future are at stake**—do whatever it takes to get it sorted.
