Commission disclosure & ranking neutrality
Two commitments govern every agent relationship on GlobalCampus India: the student always knows what the agent earns, and agent relationships never influence what the student sees first.
1. Commission disclosure
Education agents may submit applications on a student's behalf, with the student's recorded consent. When they do, the platform computes the agent's earning from the agent's commission configuration at that moment and freezes it into the application record:
agent earning = first-year tuition × platform commission rate × agent split
The student sees the exact sentence — for example, "Your agent earns ₹20,000 (5.0% of first-year tuition) if you enrol — we publish this" — on their application status page. The same sentence is embedded verbatim in the consent record stored in our consent ledger. Because the figure is frozen at submission time, a later change to the agent's commercial terms can never alter what the student was told.
2. Certified agents are listed publicly
Every agent authorised to submit through the platform appears in the certified agent directory, with their name, certification date, and status. Agents appear only after completing platform certification and are removed if their status changes. Commission rates, tax identifiers, and personal contact details are never published.
3. Ranking neutrality
Programme ranking, recommendation, and search order are functions of the catalogue alone — accreditation regime, rankings, tuition, intake status — never of any commercial or agent relationship. Concretely:
- No agent, university, or commercial relationship is an input to search ranking or ordering.
- The platform's codebase enforces this mechanically: catalog, search, and ranking modules are barred by CI from importing the agents data model, so a ranking influence cannot be introduced without the build failing.
- Agent-assisted and self-submitted applications follow identical admissions workflows.
4. Enforcement
These commitments are tested, not aspirational. Automated checks verify that the disclosure amount is computed correctly, that only certified active agents appear in the directory, and that ranking code cannot depend on agent data.
