8. Beware of fraudsters

The Board also warned applicants against fraudsters who may try to collect money or personal information from them under the guise of helping them secure the scholarship.

The statement said, “The Agency does not authorise any individual to demand payment in exchange for participation in the CBT or award of scholarship.”

Applicants were advised to rely only on information released through the Board’s official communication channels and not pay anyone promising to influence their selection.
