References to DU SOL, the University of Delhi, IGNOU, NIOS, universities, government departments, or other organizations do not imply affiliation, authorization, sponsorship, or endorsement.

You must be legally capable of accepting these Terms. If you are under the age at which you can enter into a binding agreement in your location, you should use this website with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

Ownership and contributions

Intellectual Property and User Content

Our Content

Unless otherwise stated, the original text, page design, graphics, branding, compilations, and other materials created for OpenStudyInfo are owned by OpenStudyInfo or used with permission. All applicable intellectual-property rights are reserved.

University names, government names, examination-board names, portal names, third-party trademarks, logos, official notifications, and referenced materials belong to their respective owners. They are used only for identification, reporting, explanation, or educational reference and do not imply an official relationship.

Comments, Messages and Submissions

If comments, forms, or other contribution features are available, you remain responsible for the information you submit. You confirm that your submission is lawful, accurate to the best of your knowledge, does not violate another person’s privacy or intellectual-property rights, and does not contain harmful code or promotional spam.

You grant OpenStudyInfo a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, reproduce, moderate, and use a submitted comment or feedback only as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, or promote the website. This does not transfer ownership of your original submission to us.

We may moderate, refuse, hide, or remove submissions that are misleading, abusive, unlawful, irrelevant, promotional, unsafe, or inconsistent with these Terms. We are not required to publish or retain every submission.

Educational information

Accuracy, Updates and Official Verification

We make reasonable efforts to research, explain, and update educational information. However, universities, boards, government departments, examination bodies, clinics, visa authorities, and other organizations may change dates, fees, eligibility rules, documents, portal addresses, procedures, and decisions without notifying us.

Website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not an official decision and does not guarantee admission, examination eligibility, marks, results, certificates, scholarships, appointments, CAS issuance, visas, or any other outcome.

Before applying, uploading documents, travelling, attending an examination, or making a payment, you must verify the latest information on the relevant official website or directly with the responsible institution.

Third-party services

External Links, Advertising and Availability

OpenStudyInfo may link to university, government, examination, educational, medical, news, and other third-party websites. We do not control their content, security, privacy practices, availability, fees, or transactions. A link does not mean that we endorse every statement, product, or service on the external website.

Third-party services may change, move, become unavailable, or apply their own terms and privacy policies. You should review those policies before submitting information or completing a transaction. Your use of an external website is governed by that website’s own terms.

The website may display advertisements or links supplied by advertising partners. Advertisers are responsible for their own claims, products, services, and destination pages. Advertising does not create an endorsement or partnership unless expressly stated.

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of OpenStudyInfo for maintenance, security, legal, editorial, or operational reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Linking rules

Links to OpenStudyInfo

You may link to publicly accessible OpenStudyInfo pages if the link is lawful, accurate, not deceptive, and does not falsely imply affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. The linking page must not contain unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or rights-infringing material.

You may not frame our pages, reproduce substantial portions of our content, or use our logo as a link without prior written permission. We may request the removal or correction of a link that misrepresents OpenStudyInfo or creates a security, legal, or reputational concern.

Data and cookies

Privacy and Cookies

Our collection and use of information is described in the OpenStudyInfo Privacy Policy. The website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for security, functionality, analytics, preferences, and advertising where enabled.

Where applicable, cookie and advertising choices may be provided through a consent message. You may also manage cookies through your browser settings, although blocking certain cookies can affect website functionality.

Legal limitations

Warranties and Limitation of Liability

OpenStudyInfo and its content are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we make no express or implied warranty regarding accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, security, or continuous availability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OpenStudyInfo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising from reliance on website content, missed deadlines, changed requirements, portal downtime, data loss, external links, third-party conduct, or transactions completed outside OpenStudyInfo.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Your statutory rights, where applicable, are not affected.

Responsibility for Breach

You are responsible for losses, claims, or reasonable costs resulting from your unlawful use of the website, your infringement of another person’s rights, or your material breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Administration

Changes, Suspension and Governing Law

We may revise these Terms to reflect changes to our website, services, policies, or legal obligations. Updated Terms become effective when published on this page, unless a later effective date is stated. Continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

We may restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms, threatened website security, infringed rights, or used the website unlawfully.

Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be subject to the jurisdiction of a court legally competent to hear it in India.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. Failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive our right to enforce it later.
