How payments work
Optional payments are made inside your student dashboard through the Razorpay payment page.
If the payment page is not working for you, you can instead pay to the UPI QR code of NPUI Media Network LLP, the parent entity of Elevate Skill Development. This QR code is shared only from our official WhatsApp number, +91 93608 72758.
- Only pay a QR code that came from +91 93608 72758.
- Check that the payee shown in your UPI app is NPUI Media Network before you pay.
- If anyone else asks you to pay an "Elevate" fee, from any other number, UPI ID or bank account, do not pay, and report it to interns@elevateskills.in.
Verify any certificate in seconds
Every Elevate Skills certificate has a unique ID and a QR code. Enter the ID on our certificate verification page to see who it was issued to, the role and the internship period. A certificate that does not appear there was not issued by us.
Make sure you are on the right "Elevate"
Elevate Skills is not connected to Elevate Labs. Several other unrelated organisations also use the word "Elevate" in their names, so reviews you find online may be about someone else. Before trusting a review, check that it mentions elevateskills.in or NPUI Media Network LLP.
