UGC list of fake universities issued; Delhi on top

UGC has released a list of nearly 20 universities which have been identified as 'fake'.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a list of fake universities in India. UGC has written to the state government departments of higher education/ principal secretaries and states to take appropriate action against the fake institutions.

“I would like to inform you that your institution figures in the list of fake Universities, as the institution is not a “University” within the meaning of Section 2(f) or Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, but engaged in the business of conferring degrees or using the word “University” with its name to defraud and cheat innocent students by awarding fake degrees. It has become a matter of concern as many students are becoming victims of the fraudulent act of your institution,” the UGC secretary, Manish Joshi wrote in an official letter sent to the VCs of these institutes.
