Fake university/vishwavidalayas

Precautions against “FAKE UNIVERSITY/VISHWAVIDALAYAS” is a matter of great concern for the University Grants Commission which has been bestowed with responsibility of maintaining standards in Higher Education in the country. It is brought to the notice of the UGC that there are some institutions offering undergraduate/postgraduate courses in various subjects. These institutions are not established either under Central or State or UGC Act and hence, these institutions are fake and do not have any right to confer/grant degrees.
Aspiring students are advised not to pursue higher educational courses with such self-styled universities/vishwavidyalayas. Further, the name of Indraprastha Shiksha Parishad, Institutional Area, Khoda, Makanpur, Noida Phase-II, Uttar Pradesh has recently been added to the list of Fake Universities maintained by UGC Currently, there are 20 such self-styled fake university/vishwavidyalayas on the records of the Commission which are functioning in contravention of the provisions of the UGC Act, 1956.
