BE AWARE. Does Your Institute Fall Under These Fake Universities? List Issued by UGC; Delhi On Top

A list of fake universities in India has been released by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The UGC has written to the state government's principal secretaries and departments of higher education, urging them to take the necessary measures against the fraudulent schools.

The institution is not a "University" within the meaning of Section 2(f) or Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, but instead engages in the business of conferring degrees or uses the word "University" with its name to defraud and cheat innocent students by awarding fake degrees. Please check if your institution falls under any of these universities. As more students fall victim to the institution's deception, it has become a cause for concern, according to UGC Secretary Manish Joshi who wrote in an official letter sent to the VCs of these institutes.

UGC letters to the State Government's Department of Higher Education / Principal Secretaries to take appropriate action against the fake Institutions in the respective state.
