Someone kindly send me the results.
Based on this post from Lawctopus I registered for the course and was later asked to pay 500 rupees. The same was not mentioned anywhere in the post. As I received an email from on behalf of the Chambers of Adv. Prateek Arora & Associates (CPA) that the omission about the registration fee was a mistake on part of Lawctopus, I paid the fees and submitted my essay as per the deadline 14th April. Now they have sent an email on 4th May declaring results. The list released has names of random law schools but no information about the titles of the paper winning and none the persons named could be found online. My paper on the same topic as submitted to them has been selected by an international journal for publication but did not even feature in the 20 prize winner’s list as only they will get rewards and no one else. This has absolutely a scam post and competition, designed to rob naive students like us who have been looking for genuine opportunities. I would request Lawctopus to not carry such post in the future, as we repose a lot of trust and faith on this platform and this sham competition has completely shaken it.
Could you please send me the list. I did not receive it. And they are not replying to the mail.

Admin, kindly look into the scam and let us know the recourse to such misrepresentation. A lot of us have infact paid and there has been a further extension in deadline to May 1.
We all need to make a collective representation to Lawctopus and reach out to these […] to get our money refunded.
I have already submitted! Now what do I do? ☹
It is mentioned no fees for registration and we are already prepared and about to submit
What’s going over here… Is it a fraud
How much u r charging
It’s requested to please provide the email address mentioned earlier for submission.
Sir can you please clear us that when do we have to submit….this is so unfair with us….can you please answer this that why you guys didn’t mention us this before???
Now what is the process to register??
Tomorrow is the last day. Should we submit or not.. Please clear us
We haven’t heard from them. We’d advise not to submit.
When will results come?
What is the registration fees? First it was written that there is no registration fees but now, there is..
First it was written that the essays should be submitted before 15th April but now, no such date is mentioned.
Why is there a lot of confusion regarding this?
Please refresh the article and check our comments in red.
Submission date?
We’d encourage you not to send essays to this competition. We haven’t taken down the post for record’s sake.
Is the competition happening? If yes, then can you please give us the submission details along with instructions?
Fraud
There is no last date mentioned for submission. A myriad of websites are showing different results regarding the last date for submission and registration fees.
Please furnish that information also for a clear explanation of things.
