- Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

- Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.

- Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.
