 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a private institute not affiliated to any university or approved by any government authority. As tells: ... We are registered under the Companies Act, as we claim we are here to do business. ... School of Inspired Leadership (Soil), which began operations in Gurgaon this July, has opted for a similar model. It is registered under section 21 of the Companies Act and managed by Grow Talent Company Ltd.

As their FAQ section url was used as reference to tell that they are not AICTE approved, now they have changed the url info. Archive URL under Credentials section says that it is not AICTE approved educational institute.

Such institute derive legitimacy by social media marketing and online presence including on Wikipedia. They charge large amount of money for their unapproved courses and give "certificates" of their courses. See and. They are called "fake" or "unapproved institutes". They are operated as companies, not education institutes. We should not have articles about these unapproved institutes. Nizil (talk) 07:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

In addition, SOIL (School of Inspired Leadership) has been ranked among top 20 one year MBA programs:
 * keep SOIL is an educational institute with 1100+ alumni. You have mentioned that the institute is not AICTE approved. However, the 2 year PGDM program launched by SOIL called SOIL School of Business Design is an AICTE approved program. This new campus & new program was launched & approved by AICTE in 2019.

 * This institute is not notable as per WP:NORG (as a company) as well as WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES tells about "accredited" which it is not. The article was created by User:Soil gurgaon which clearly says SOIL (short name of institute) means it had WP:COI and had only edited this article. It was previously speedy deleted at Articles for deletion/School of Inspired Leadership but was recreated in 2011.-Nizil (talk) 07:31, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
