In a resolute effort to combat the burgeoning issue of deceptive educational institutions plaguing the nation, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has taken a bold step by unveiling a roster of 20 counterfeit universities operating in India. In a sternly worded communication, the UGC has extended its earnest plea to the state government departments overseeing higher education and the principal secretaries, urging them to take decisive measures against these fraudulent entities.
In a letter bearing the signature of UGC Secretary Manish Joshi, it is unequivocally stated, “I am duty-bound to apprise you that your institution has found its way onto the ignominious list of sham universities. This designation has been conferred upon your establishment because it neither falls within the purview of Section 2(f) nor Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, yet it operates under the guise of a ‘University,’ engaging in the dubious practice of bestowing degrees or incorporating the word ‘University’ into its nomenclature to deceive and swindle unsuspecting students through the conferral of counterfeit degrees. This distressing situation has reached a critical juncture, with numerous students falling victim to the fraudulent machinations of your institution.”
The UGC’s decisive action serves as a potent reminder of the importance of safeguarding the integrity of India’s educational landscape, underscoring the imperative to shield students from the pernicious consequences of fake educational institutions.
