1. Please Read This Carefully

These Disclaimers are part of the Terms of Service and explain the nature, limits, and intended use of the information available on the Ikiguru mobile application and the website at ikiguru.com (the "Platform"), operated by Ikiguru Technology Private Limited.

By using the Platform, you confirm that you have read and understood these Disclaimers and that you (and, if you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian) accept them.

2. General Disclaimer

Ikiguru provides general information, educational guidance, and decision-support resources to help Indian students explore careers, streams, examinations, degrees, and colleges. The Platform is intended as a starting point for exploration and personal research.

The Platform is not:

  • A professional career counselling service.
  • An academic counselling, tutoring, or mentoring service.
  • A psychological, medical, or therapeutic service.
  • A legal, financial, or tax advisory service.
  • A substitute for guidance from qualified human professionals, teachers, or parents.

All content on the Platform is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis, without any warranty of accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

3. Career Content Disclaimer

The career information on Ikiguru — including descriptions of career paths, expected day-to-day work, salary ranges, entry routes, skills required, and pros and cons — is general and informational. It is not personalised advice for your individual situation.

Specifically:

  • Career outcomes depend on many factors specific to each person — including ability, effort, interest, opportunity, family circumstances, financial resources, location, and luck — that Ikiguru cannot assess.
  • Salary ranges, growth prospects, and demand for any profession can change significantly over time and across regions.
  • Job titles, role responsibilities, and qualifications required differ between employers, sectors, and countries.
  • Some careers require specific licences, examinations, or other regulatory approvals which Ikiguru may not cover in full.

You should treat Ikiguru's career content as a starting point for further research. Before making important career decisions, talk to people working in the field, qualified career counsellors, teachers, mentors, and family. Where possible, gain direct exposure through internships, shadowing, volunteer work, or conversations with practitioners.

4. Educational, Stream, Degree and Examination Content

Information on Ikiguru about academic streams (such as Science, Commerce, Humanities), subject combinations, entrance examinations, degree courses, and academic pathways is intended to help students understand their options at a general level. It is not academic advising.

In particular, please note:

  • Examination patterns, syllabus, eligibility criteria, application deadlines, fees, cut-offs, and admission policies are set by examination authorities, universities, and colleges, and can change frequently and without notice.
  • State board, CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, and other curricula evolve, and the subjects or combinations available may vary by school, board, year, and state.
  • Reservation policies, quota structures, fee waivers, and scholarship rules vary across institutions and over time.
  • Ikiguru does not guarantee admission to any college, qualification for any exam, or scholarship eligibility.

Always verify critical information directly from official sources before acting on it. These include the National Testing Agency (nta.ac.in), the Ministry of Education (education.gov.in), state education boards, university websites, and official examination websites. We may from time to time link to such sources, but the official source always prevails over any information presented on Ikiguru.

5. College and Institution Information

Information about colleges, universities, and institutions on Ikiguru — including rankings, fees, intake, placement statistics, courses offered, eligibility criteria, and reviews — is compiled from public sources and is intended for general reference.

  • Ranking, accreditation, and approval status can change. Always verify with NIRF, NAAC, AICTE, UGC, or the relevant regulator and with the institution itself.
  • Fee structures, hostel charges, and scholarship rules change every academic year.
  • Placement statistics published by any institution may not reflect your individual outcome.
  • Inclusion of any college or institution on Ikiguru is not an endorsement by Ikiguru, and Ikiguru is not affiliated with any college or institution unless explicitly stated.

6. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Content Disclaimer

Ikiguru may, from time to time, make available AI-powered features (including, in future releases, an AI assistant referred to as the "Counsellor AI"). When you use any such AI feature, the following applies:

  • Responses are generated by an artificial intelligence system, not by a human counsellor, doctor, lawyer, or licensed professional.
  • AI responses may be wrong, incomplete, out of date, biased, or inappropriate for your specific situation, even when they sound confident.
  • AI features should be used only as a starting point for exploration. Do not rely on them for major academic, career, financial, medical, psychological, legal, or emergency decisions.
  • AI features will not replace qualified human professionals, teachers, or parents.
  • AI responses do not represent the official position of any institution, examination authority, government body, or third party.
  • Any names, contact details, links, dates, statistics, or quotations produced by an AI feature should be independently verified before being relied on.

AI features, where offered, are opt-in and require your separate consent (and, where you are under 18, your parent's or guardian's consent) before being enabled.

7. Health, Mental Health, and Emergency Information

Ikiguru is not a medical, mental health, or emergency service. Nothing on the Platform — including any content, response, or AI-generated output — is medical advice, psychological advice, therapy, diagnosis, or treatment.

If you are in distress, struggling with your mental health, having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, or facing any emergency, please contact a parent, guardian, teacher, qualified professional, or one of the helplines below immediately.

8. Financial and Legal Information

Where Ikiguru discusses fees, scholarships, education loans, exam fees, tax benefits, salaries, or other financial or legal topics:

  • The information is for general awareness only, not financial or legal advice.
  • Tax laws, scholarship rules, loan products, and interest rates change regularly.
  • Before taking any financial or legal decision, consult a qualified chartered accountant, tax advisor, lawyer, or your bank, as applicable.

9. Third-Party Content and Links

Ikiguru may reference or link to third-party websites, applications, services, examination bodies, universities, or other institutions. These are provided for your convenience. Ikiguru does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy, availability, content, terms, or privacy practices of any third party. Your use of any third-party website or service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms.

10. Currency of Information

Ikiguru works to keep the information on the Platform up to date. Despite our best efforts:

  • Some content may become outdated between updates.
  • Authorities and institutions may change policies, dates, fees, or criteria at any time.
  • The same fact may be presented differently across sources.

Where you find a discrepancy between Ikiguru and an official source, the official source always prevails. Please let us know at hello@ikiguru.com so we can review and update.

11. No Guarantees of Outcomes

Ikiguru does not promise or guarantee any specific outcome, including but not limited to:

  • Admission to any specific college, university, or programme.
  • Selection in any examination, scholarship, or competitive process.
  • Any particular career, salary, placement, or professional outcome.
  • Any particular learning result or grade.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Ikiguru Technology Private Limited nor its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for any career, academic, financial, medical, psychological, legal, or other decision made by you or any other person based on information from the Platform, or for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform or its content.

The full limitation of liability is set out in our Terms of Service. Nothing in these Disclaimers excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Indian law (including under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019).

13. How to Verify Information

  • Check the official website of the relevant examination authority, university, college, or government department.
