UGC Declares 20 Universities as 'Fake', Warns Students
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has declared 20 universities as "fake" and not empowered to confer any degree. The list of fake universities was released on the UGC's website on August 2, 2023.
The universities on the list are located in various states across India, including Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
The UGC has warned students against enrolling in any of the fake universities on the list. Degrees awarded by these universities will not be recognized by the UGC or any other legitimate accreditation body.
Students who have already enrolled in any of the fake universities are advised to immediately withdraw from their programs and seek admission to a legitimate university.
The UGC has been issuing warnings about fake universities for several years. In 2019, the UGC declared 21 universities as fake. In 2020, the UGC declared 19 universities as fake.
The UGC has taken steps to crack down on fake universities. In 2019, the UGC filed a criminal case against the operators of a fake university in Delhi. The case is still pending in court.
The UGC has also asked the central government to take steps to prevent the establishment of fake universities. In 2019, the UGC submitted a report to the government recommending that the government enact a law to regulate the establishment and operation of universities in India.
The government has not yet enacted a law to regulate universities. However, the UGC's declaration of 20 fake universities is a step in the right direction. The declaration will help to protect students from being duped by fake universities.
How to Identify Fake Universities
There are a few things that students can do to identify fake universities.
First, students should check the university's credentials with the UGC. The UGC's website has a list of all accredited universities in India.
Second, students should make sure that the university is accredited by a recognized accreditation body. There are several accreditation bodies that accredit universities in India. These include the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and the National Board of Accreditation (NBA).
Third, students should do their research on the university's reputation. They can do this by reading online reviews and talking to current and former students of the university.
Finally, students should be wary of universities that offer degrees at too low a cost. Legitimate universities typically charge a reasonable tuition fee.
