Is admissions.igniteonline.in legit or a scam?
Fake NMIMS MBA admissions clone designed to harvest credentials from prospective students; 12 antivirus engines detect malicious/phishing intent.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The site impersonates NMIMS CDOE (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies), a legitimate Indian university offering distance education. Our analysis confirms it is a clone of the official portal at online.nmims.edu, using identical branding, program names, and page structure to deceive visitors into believing they are applying through an authorized channel. Twelve antivirus engines—including BitDefender, CyRadar, ADMINUSLabs, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker—flag the domain as malicious or phishing. The domain has no business registration in India, no postal address, no contact email on its own domain, and does not appear in any official NMIMS partner documentation. Web searches found zero scam reports or complaints, which is typical for newly-deployed phishing clones before they accumulate victim reports. The presence of a login form combined with the clone-site pattern and antivirus consensus indicates the operator intends to harvest credentials or personal data from applicants.
