What Universities are condsidered ‘Fake’ as per UGC Guidelines?
Institues and universities operating without proper recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) are considered fake. These "self-styled" institutions don't meet the statutory requirements of Indian law. Degrees from these fake places are considered invalid for jobs, further education, or any official purpose.
These fake universities are neither recognised by the UGC under Section 2(f) or Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, nor are they approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) or any other official regulatory body, hence they are not allowed to award degrees, diplomas, or any other academic qualifications to the enrolled students.
