Confidence
The domain has been registered for over 17 years, which is a strong indicator of stability and legitimacy. Our analysis confirms this is the official portal for a recognized Indian technical institute established in 2008. The site provides extensive documentation, including NAAC accreditation details, audited financial statements, and mandatory regulatory disclosures. While one engine in our antivirus network flagged it as suspicious, this appears to be a false positive given the overwhelming evidence of legitimate operation. The presence of active social media channels and verified business registration further confirms its authenticity.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on sbjit.edu.in and not a lookalike like s-bjit.edu.in.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on sbjit.edu.in. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • sbjit.edu.in passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 89/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. sbjit.edu.in presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 47 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • sbjit.edu.in is 17.6 years old, registered on 12/1/2008 through ERNET India. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged sbjit.edu.in as malicious or suspicious. Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. sbjit.edu.in is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • sbjit.edu.in resolves to an IP operated by PDR in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 23, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around sbjit.edu.in have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
