Disclaimer

1. Independence from Exam Bodies

ShapeVerse (shapeverse.in) is an independent website operated by EDU SolPro, a private education marketing agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by, or in any way connected to the following institutions or bodies:

• National Institute of Design (NID) - autonomous body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India
• National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) - statutory body under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India
• IIT Bombay - conducting body for UCEED and CEED
• Council of Architecture (CoA) - statutory body that conducts NATA
• National Testing Agency (NTA) - which conducts NIFTEE on behalf of NIFT
• IISc Bangalore or any IIT involved in CEED administration
• Any state government design institute or affiliated college

Any information found on ShapeVerse is compiled independently for informational purposes. It does not constitute official communication from these bodies. For official information, always visit the respective official websites directly.

2. Data Accuracy and Currency

ShapeVerse makes reasonable efforts to ensure that all exam data - including eligibility criteria, exam dates, syllabi, seat matrices, cutoffs, and fee structures - is accurate at the time of publication. Our primary sources are official exam portals (uceed.iitb.ac.in, nift.ac.in, nid.edu, admissions.nata.in), government notifications, and official press releases.

However, exam information is subject to change by the conducting bodies without prior notice. Cutoff data reflects historical patterns and past years - it is not a prediction of future cutoffs. Seat matrices, application fees, exam schedules, and eligibility rules can be revised for each cycle.

ShapeVerse cannot guarantee that all information on the site is current, complete, or accurate at the time you read it. You are strongly advised to cross-check all critical information directly from the relevant official source before taking any action.

3. No Affiliation with Coaching Institutes

ShapeVerse is not affiliated with, owned by, or operated in partnership with any coaching institute, test preparation company, or private tutoring service. We do not promote or endorse any specific coaching brand or preparation programme.

If any coaching institute's advertisement appears on ShapeVerse through Google AdSense, that is an automated ad placement based on contextual targeting and does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by ShapeVerse. See Section 5 for advertising disclosure.

4. No Guarantee of Admissions Results

ShapeVerse does not guarantee admission to any design institution or programme. Using our mock tests, reading our guides, or following our preparation advice does not assure or predict any exam score, rank, or admission outcome.

Exam results depend on many individual factors including the student's preparation, the difficulty of a given paper, competition levels in that year, and changes to the exam pattern by conducting bodies. Historical cutoffs published on ShapeVerse are for reference only and are not a reliable predictor of future cutoffs.

ShapeVerse makes no claims using phrases such as "guaranteed results", "assured admission", or "top rank" and will never do so. Any third-party advertisement making such claims does not reflect the views of ShapeVerse.

5. Advertising Disclosure

ShapeVerse is a free resource supported by advertising revenue. We participate in the following types of advertising:

• Google AdSense: Display advertisements served automatically by Google based on page content and visitor interest. ShapeVerse does not select individual advertisers for these placements. Revenue from AdSense helps fund the maintenance and development of this site.
• University and college partner banners: Some educational institutions may pay to have their programme featured as a sponsored placement on ShapeVerse pages. Such placements are paid advertisements. They do not reflect editorial endorsement of the institution by ShapeVerse, nor a ranking or quality assessment of any kind.
• Affiliate links: Where applicable, ShapeVerse may include links to books, study materials, or tools on platforms such as Amazon. If you purchase through such a link, ShapeVerse may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Any such links will be disclosed.

Our editorial content - exam guides, data tables, cutoff analyses, college comparisons - is produced independently of our advertising relationships. Advertisers do not influence our content or the information we publish.

6. External Links

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, or privacy practices of any external website. The inclusion of a link does not imply that ShapeVerse endorses the linked website or its operator.
