The University Grants Commission (UGC) released the list of fake universities operating in India. These institutions issue degrees without obtaining the necessary legal approval. Students must verify the legitimacy of their chosen university by checking official government or UGC websites. Fake universities falsely claim to offer valid degrees without recognition from relevant authorities. They exploit hopeful students by issuing unauthorised certificates that hold no academic or professional value. These institutions often use misleading names to confuse students.
