I created an account in Shiksha so that I can get to know more about the colleges and various courses they offer. In the beginning, I created an account with my email id but after some days the site did not allow me to do anything unless I gave my phone number which I did give. But now they are contacting universities on my behalf and creating accounts and requesting callbacks from their website. And the universities teams are now calling me and asking me if I raised an enquiry. The team also initiated an application on my behalf to a university to which I already applied and the team contacts me asking why I submitted two applications even though I made it to the university. It has become really very disturbing when I am getting calls repeatedly saying I raised an enquiry, except for Shiksha I have not given my number to any of the other educational websites and because of all this I am requesting Shiksha to please delete my account.
Also attaching a few screenshots of the emails I received from the universities which I did not intend to apply to and who have all my details.
