UGC tightens its grip on fake universities, is your college also included in this list?

In today’s time, education is very important. An educated person can live independently and without anyone’s help. For this, students take admission in different universities and colleges for further studies. But what if one day you find out that your university is fake?

Recently, the University Grant Commission (UGC) has once again cracked down on an unrecognized engineering college that claims to be legitimate. UGC has issued a public notice regarding the Institute of Management and Engineering, which was found to be fake in the investigation, in which it has alerted the students.

UGC caught many fake colleges

Along with this, UGC has caught 22 fake educational institutions and released their list, which are running in some selected states as recognized universities. Most of them are making money in some educational hubs including Delhi, UP. Out of the list of these 22 universities, 9 are present in Delhi, which in itself is quite high. In such a situation, apart from Delhi being the capital, the use of heavy words like National, Institute of Technology, Management in the brand promotion of these institutes also helps in trapping the students.

There are more fake educational institutions in big cities

There are many reasons for the existence of fake institutions in big cities. The first reason for this is anonymity in numbers, that is, from engineering to medical, there are so many institutes today that it is very difficult to differentiate between real and fake. Also, students keep coming here throughout the year and the line for admission here never ends. Apart from this, the condition of UP is even worse. Here, to earn money, fake universities just have to add Vidyapeeth, Parishad or Open University before their name. In such a situation, this business which provides easy admission process and renowned degree to the students is flourishing.

Don’t fall into the trap of fake universities.

The biggest reason for the running of these fake universities is our carelessness. Often, while taking admission, parents and students blindly believe the university’s brochure and take admission without checking. In such a situation, to save the students from the clutches of these fake universities, UGC has released the list of all recognized and unrecognized universities, which you can easily check by visiting the UGC portal. Apart from this, before admission, please verify all the credentials of the university on DigiLocker or NAD.
