How to check if a company is fake or not?

Hello...! :)If you are zealous enough to get a job in the company, but didn't yet and trying for it, please read this article. It's for caution. As placements are very low at present, many fraudulent companies are visiting the engineering institutions for providing jobs. The selection process remains a question mark, because we don't understand their priorities in offering the job (clumsy to the peaks!). 

Even colleges, being unable to bring good companies, are fetching those companies which arrive at half the cost of genuine ones, just to piggyback the count of placements. It doesn't cost anyone else's lives except those of students. You get a mail saying you got selected, when in the campus. When you get out of the college with heart full of joy as a graduate and wait for offer letter, you check your mails daily and you get to see nothing from the so-called Company. 

 I got a doubt regarding a company that conducted a campus drive in our college. I felt like it is fake, based on the way the selection took place and immediately called our T.P.O (Training and Placement Officer) to know about it.  Some times, it may  happen to you and you may get a doubt about a company too.  But, how can you determine whether it is a genuine one or not? 

Know How...!!!
Here is how you can verify whether a company is registered or not:

1. Click here to open the website of Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

2. Enter the Company Name and Click on Search 
3. If the company is registered, you get information like:
  • LLPIN/CIN/1ARef No.  
  • Company or LLP Name
  • State
  • Registration Date and
  • Company Status 
4. If it isn't, you get a Pop-up blocked message (or) information not found message.


5. Check out this link to find the list of a few fake/fraudulent companies.

Be cautious...!!! 
Sometimes, the companies arrive with the same name as the registered company, but   
 have a different website than that of the registered one?
Here's how:
1. Click here to open the website and enter the name of it.

2. You get lot of information such as registered date of website domain, traffic info, registrar info, website info, history of it and so on.

3. If registration was done very recently just before the company visited (or) domain has expired long ago due to non-payment of money or whatever ( information will not be properly available), you can doubt its genuinity. 

What if the company is registered and you want to know the CMMI level of a company?
Here is how you get info about it:
1. You can search for a company and find its maturity level and capability level ratings in the Published CMMI Appraisal Results (PARS ) database of appraisal results. 
2Click here to check out the companies' CMMI levels.
3. Also check out the websites like LinkedIn, GlassDoor and many others which provide feedback, reviews and ratings about the company, its work-culture and how it feels like working in the organization. 
4. Verify if anyone from around your place or family, are working in the company and ask them about the company, so you get relevant and genuine info.

Note:
Remember, no genuine company asks its employees to pay money for joining, as it requires best working people, but not those who pay. If it asks so, just quit from trying for that job. Here are a few tips:
  • Don't believe anyone who says you can get job through back-door. Remember! you aren't a dullard and dumb-head to go through back-door. Believe in your own talents than believing fraudulent people. Just say NO!
  • Think twice before paying money to any job sites. 
  • Never pay registration fees to write written test. 99% of the companies, asking for fee are fake!
  • Don't believe in any "job guarantee" programs from training institutes.
I tell you again! Believe in yourself. If you feel like you aren't ready enough to work in a company, learn a technology than spending the same on  paying fee to job-guarantee institutes. It's time to be serious..All the very best buddies...!!!

Have a nice time..!! Share your thoughts in Comments if you have any idea to find the fake companies..!
