The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a warning regarding 22 fake universities functioning as unrecognised institutes across India. Delhi tops the list with 10 such universities operating without official approval. These institutions often issue degrees that are not legally valid, which undermines the integrity of higher education. The UGC’s list includes names like the Indian Institute of Science and Engineering in Delhi and others dispersed across states including Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Puducherry. The commission urges prospective students and stakeholders to verify the recognition status of universities to avoid falling victim to these fraudulent institutions.
